Fair point about Arsenal they do have a huge fanbase , but as I said give a club like Roma (quite a big fanbase) , Aston Villa , Lyon etc the founder spot and they will have a massive wordwide fanbase in a matter of years.
What the fuck is Spurs doing there though ? If I'm not mistaken the likes of Marseille , Schalke and Rangers have a bigger fanbase than Spurs. You can argue that Rangers and especially Schalke shouldn't be in there , but why not Marseille ?
I'm not too opposed to this format , but I just can't agree with this founder spots bullshit.
There is no reason for leagues to become less relevant than are now.. if have chance to win it.
No chance play their B teams in domestic leagues.
Spurs are huge in Asia and USA. Marseille ain't got nothing on them when it comes to worldwide fanbase.
what sporting merit and history
Less TV money, plus 56-61 games in just 2 competitions yearly.
Bro this is like the last thing on anyone's mind when organising this.
Ceferin (UEFA President): "All players that play in the Super League will be banned from playing in the Euros and the World Cup."
Good.
Hopefully, International football dies too.
Spurs are huge in Asia and USA. Marseille ain't got nothing on them when it comes to worldwide fanbase.
lol. I'd like to see the top NT teams lineups without players from the 20 participating clubs.
Spain would be without 13 of 24 players from last callup.
France without 19 of 25 (including Bayern and PSG)
England 13/25
Brazil 12/25 (In a squad without Casemiro, Neymar, Coutinho, Fabinho. So probably more likely 16/25
Spurs are also huge at bottling any chance of winning anything meaningful, haven't won the league for 60 years. Never won a European Cup, got to the final once but fluked it there.
Other than having a big stadium and loads of people supporting them thousand of miles away, what sporting merit and history do they have to be given a spot every year?
Based on what will these club play their B in domestic leagues ?? You think players will be fine with playing 18-23 games a season or what ?
I mean even if that's true , in your case Bayern will still win the league
No, which is why they will expand it after 2 years and make it a full year thing. You have to be truely naive to think that the Super League founders are trying to keep an UEFA tournament relevant just because they are such nice people.
And based on that I can pay 12EUR for a ticket and watch life football, while you travel to Abu Dhabi, pay 170 quid for the worst seat and watch ad breaks before every throw in.
Cut out the plastic additude and it sucks, simple as that.
