Why the European Super League is a cancer to football

Why is the European Super League a cancer to football?

There is one popular saying amongst the fanbase regarding the game; “Created by the Poor, Stolen by the Rich”, which fits perfectly into the current situation.

For example, Manchester United was found by the workers in the 19th century but then were later bought by the Glazers.

It’s the same for Liverpool. They are one of the teams that have a strong history as well as a great fanbase. Joining the European Super League will create hyperinflation and the money will dominate the game.

According to reports, the clubs signing up for the league will receive £310 million. Added to this, they will receive the money to upgrade their respective infrastructures. Once the money is in, cash is the king, the fans’ voices will go unheard.

How different is the UEFA Champions League?

All English Premier League

The UEFA Champions League is an altogether different spectacle to watch and enjoy. The teams fighting for the top-four spots is one of the best things to witness in the Premier League.

West Ham United are one of the clubs that might potentially feature in the Santiago Bernabeu or Camp Nou if they end up in the top four.

But, if the new league comes in, it will provide the top teams a permanent place in another competition, which will lead to nothing but complacency.

Arsenal are finding it difficult to finish in the top four/six but will get a chance to play against Real Madrid and Barcelona despite not having the required credentials to feature. How ridiculous is this!

Excessive money will in return kill the underdog stories we’ve come to love. Leicester City fought all the odds and became the champions of English football in 2015/16. They also went on to play in the UCL knockouts in the subsequent season.

The permanent place for the likes of the traditional top-six will kill the chances of these teams to feature in the elite competition.
