    This is incredibly short sighted and stupid. The fundamental problem is that the social, cultural and economic models we operate under produce monopolies naturally. It’s ultimately irrelevant where you arbitrarily insert break points in the data set in order to declare the problem solved. At best you get a temporary reprieve. All you have to do is just wait a little bit and eventually the same environment produces the same results and you will again have monopolistic outcomes where a small subset of participants dominate.

    that only works when the super league plays without english clubs and without english clubs its not really a “super league”, is it?

    so, nothing will change with or without that league, besides all the usual big clubs getting richer and the gap between them and 99% of the rest of europe’s football clubs is getting bigger.

    First thing : that looks like a bullshit argument. He uses wealth gap as an excuse but anyone who genuinely is concerned about wealth gap won’t think of a Super League as a solution.

    Second thing : Is it not the purpose of rules like financial fair-play to prevent those kind of thing to happen ? If it doesn’t work, so do better rules.

    I guess to be the president of Atleti you have to completely ignore the Galaticos era of Spanish football…

    Honestly though, was this guy in a coma from 2013-2018? What an absurd statement

    Why is it every time these fucks talk about the PL nicking all of the best players they never talk about Real and Barca having many of the best players in the world for the past 15 year. Look a bit closer to home pal.

      He’s just greedy and wants Super League money. It’s not some diabolical plan to attack England. Chill.
