You think the English clubs are in a better state? Idiot.

@Chris-oz9qx How do I tell you this simply. Kid, the money spent on transfer is the least of your concern. Player wages, stadium maintenance, those are the fees that you have to pay, despite not getting enough benefits for them. The transfer money can be cut by not doing anymore transfer. But existing player wages have to be paid. Usually those are paid by ticket selling revenue. Are you buying any tickets? Those clubs don't care for the Domestic League revenue, they want a bigger share of the European football revenue. The Super League is created to replace the Champions League, not the Domestic League like Premier League or La Liga. Originally there wasn't any Champions League, they create the Champions League as a way to get more money. The qualification nonsense was originally only the winning team, but they expand the slots because big teams also need qualification to increase the tournament's revenue, despite not being the winning team. The competition changes all the time, each time benefiting the big clubs, because only the big clubs generate revenue. So get down from your high horse of hypocrisy and get back to reality. Clubs are dying, because people can't go to the stadiums, there's nothing you can do about that, so let them live by maximizing the revenue. It's not about you, the new Super League is for the international fans. Football is nothing without fans, well, you are no longer the only fans of football. Fans are everywhere, the fans overseas are demanding this. You might be interested in Burnley vs Manchester United, but we are not.

Those parents are idiots. If you have to get enough money before you do something, you severely mismanage your potential. The contract they sign with players are for future performances, be paid for by future revenue, and unfortunately, the future was changed dramatically with the pandemic.

@Chris-oz9qx It's called math, dummy. Maybe you should learn some, it's not that hard to see. Oh, wait, the Brits hate math, it forces them to look back to reality and get out of their fantasy. The financial report of Real Madrid and Barcelona is out there, read them, see the wages structure compared to the transfer money. Doesn't matter whether players are flop or not. Because even if they win all the competition there is, there wouldn't be enough money due to the revenue of those competition are not enough. That's why they need a new competition that can actually give the the necessary money.

@legendovbago4716 So it's mandatory for these billionaires to loose hundreds of millions just so that you can have your favorite football format?

@Chris-oz9qx It doesn't matter, kid. Amortization or any sort of financial twist can not change the total sum of it. That's math, the total money gained must be more than the total money lost, they're loosing hundred of millions because they're keep having to spent despite those spending doesn't generate any profit. And when they generate the profit in the future, those profits will be made upon new spending. Players keep getting old, players contracts have to be renewed. When the ticket revenue got cut off, they start losing money. Lose enough money, no more club. So either you let them live or shut up.

@Chris-oz9qx Okay, genius. You know about finance. Tell me how the clubs are making money with no ticket revenue? Give me the exact numbers from your deep accurate sources? Where is this magical money coming from? Queen of England?

@eldiablorojo Really? Terrible financial decisions for decades? Despite they're the most profitable clubs in the last decade? You ever tried math? What horrible financial decisions?

@everythingnice914 Horrible services and banking apparently, since the Americans didn't even bother to count you in as a potential sponsor. The super league is going to happen. You think a few screaming unemployed people can stop that? The clubs are heavily in debt, all of the clubs are. Once the club stop being profitable, the billionaire owners won't keep pouring in money. Except maybe Man City but that's not profit from football, it's profit from oil money. So unless you're saying that oil money is the only way football can continue, I suggest you rethink. The player wages and the intervention of oil money, plus pandemic has made playing and franchising football the old way impossible. You pay less than what a player can get from oil money, the player leaves. You pay equally the oil money salary then you're broke, because there's no way of getting that money back. No ticket revenue means you have to increase TV viewership. And sadly, the old format doesn't attract enough viewers. It's not Perez or any billionaires deciding that. The "fans" decided that, by not watching enough game. So why don't you blame yourself? Do you watch New Castle vs West Brom, maybe if you had watched those games, the Premier League would've gained more TV money, and the big clubs might not want to quit. Blame yourself.
