What are the positives of a Super League RDD?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
More money in the game, bigger and better matches, a body that might do something about racism in the game beyond pitiful fines, an opportunity for smaller clubs to change their fortunes through prize money (Imagine Ajax with £350m every couple of seasons )
----------------------------------------------------------------------
God help us if anyone genuinely believes that what the game is missing is the richest clubs having even more money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagjne what £350m every few seasons would do for Ajax, Porto, Lyon, Valencia, Villa, lille, Roma
Domestic leagues have only ever had 1 prize
"magjne what £350m every few seasons would do for Ajax, Porto, Lyon, Valencia, Villa, lille, Roma"
Seeing as the big clubs would still earn far more I'd imagine not enough to compete. And more money pumped into the game will likely mean bigger fees, bigger wages and more for agents.

Well the main one is obvious, its a pointless competition. None of the 15 founder have anything to lose, they cant be relegated from it.
Not sure why any fan of any sport would watch it when theres literally no stake or risk involved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not even a competition. It will be a series of exhibition matches designed solely for the far east broadcast media market.

People used to think the same about European competition l.
Valencia will never get invited because like someone said yesterday, no one gives a shaiittt about them and their coffee shop makes more money than them. That’s your problem right there

Here's one for you to think about, RDD.
With no relegation and only one actual prize (1st place)... Managers are less likely to get sacked for only coming 4th, 5th, 6th etc...

In their domestic leagues? It would essentially be financial doping that would elevate them way beyond their normal means, turning it into a one team league. And in the "super league"? It would be a drop in the ocean compared to what the other permanent teams are getting.
And why the actual fook are a no mark team like Spurs who have won pretty much nothing ever in it?

Bigger clubs allways earn more. But this way the other qualifying sides would get far more wealth than they currently have, eventually making many many clubs more.secure and stronger.
villa manage to make it one year 10 years down the line they get 350m, great. but theres 15 clubs in it that have made 3.5billion as theyre immune to relegation doesnt matter how bad theyve been if they finished last or played the u12s for 10 years just to take the piiss

What if Villa win the Prem, get into the SL the next season, put all their effort into it, win the SL and finish 10th in the Prem, while at the same time Man Utd have an utter shanner season finish bottom of the SL and 15th in the prem? Which of them gets to play in the SL the season after?

not quite guaranteed anything then really are they numbnuts? thats the point. These clubs if they facked up badly have a lot to lose. And thats the biggest reason this super league is happening because they dont like that and have decided to try and remove it.
Imagine a scenario where the 5 invited teams finish in the top 5 positions and all the 15 founding members finish below them.
But domestically, all the 5 invited teams have poor seasons as they've concentrated on the Super League and played weakened teams domestically. Would they all be kicked out of the ESL the following season despite being the 5 best teams?
