European Super League: The breakaway Football tournament that puts UEFA Champions League in turmoil

Twelve major European Football clubs join a new European Super League (ESL) that is considered to be a breakaway tournament from the UEFA Champions League.

Format

In an exponential development in European Football, a new league is set to venture out ‘as soon as practicable’. The inaugural edition of European Super League aims an August start in which two groups of 10 teams will play home and away matches and the top three qualifying for the quarter-finals. The fourth and fifth-placed teams will play off for the remaining quarter-final spots. The quarter and semi-finals will be played over two legs and the final is a single game at a neutral venue.

Teams

Twelve established Football teams from England, Spain and Italy have agreed to collaborate for the European Super League and will be recognised as its founding clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are the English clubs involved; Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the Spanish teams and AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are the Italian sides. Three more teams are expected to join as founding clubs. These 15 clubs are guaranteed participation each year, with another five qualifying annually, making it a 20-team competition. Notably there are, till now, no French and German teams signing in as founding members.

Challenges to UEFA, FIFA

The matches of this Super League will be played at mid-week, leaving them free for domestic fixtures but ruling them out of the Champions League. This approach challenges the supremacy of UEFA, the organiser of the Champions League and the governing body of European Football.

The UEFA president, Alexsander Ceferin, wants the 12 clubs banned from European competition at the earliest and the players who play for them prevented from appearing at major tournaments. "Because we respect the fans, the traditions, Football, the Football community, our society, we will win. In the end, we will win," Ceferin says.

 The English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A- the major European domestic leagues under which all the 12 teams became big global brands- are also against this newly-formed European League. UEFA is united with those leagues and insisted that any involvement in the ESL must carry a heavy punitive cost. "We're still assessing with our legal team but we will take all the sanctions that we can,” said Ceferin.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino expressed ‘disapproval’ and called for dialogue. The world body's decision is likely to be crucial. Earlier, FIFA and the six global confederations warned that any club or player involved in a breakaway would be ineligible for FIFA competitions.

Story Behind

Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid and the first chairman of the Super League, said in a statement, "The global pandemic has accelerated the instability in the existing European football economic model. The pandemic has shown that a strategic vision and a sustainable commercial approach are required to enhance value and support for the benefit of the entire European football pyramid.”

The European clubs’ revenues have been tremendously hit by the pandemic because of disruptive fixtures and lack of spectators on grounds. Moreover, the clubs have superstar players with highly-paid salaries. The Super League is expected to bring far more than the Champions League. Currently, Europe’s top clubs have to qualify for the Champions League by placing high in their domestic competitions, and then make it through the season-long tournament to reach the high-profile latter stages.

But in European Super League, the founding clubs are expected to receive more than 10 billion euros in uncapped ‘solidarity payments’ during their initial commitment period. Backed by finance company JP Morgan, the Super League is also offering the founding clubs 3.5 billion euros for infrastructure investment and to offset pandemic costs.

Actions and Reactions

"Football is the only global sport in the world with more than four billion fans and our responsibility as big clubs is to respond to their desires," Florentino Pérez said. Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli has resigned from the UEFA executive committee and as the chairman of the European Club Association (ECA). He said, “The 12 clubs had come together at this critical moment, enabling European competition to be transformed, putting the game we love on a sustainable footing for the long-term future".

Manchester United co-chairman Joel Glazer who will be a vice-chairman of the Super League said, "By bringing together the world's greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season, the Super League will open a new chapter for European Football, ensuring world-class competition and facilities, and increased financial support for the wider Football pyramid." Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano have also resigned from their roles at UEFA.  

However, there is a widespread condemnation from the opposite section who is not involved in the newly-formed league. German clubs Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have said they will not be joining and are committed to the ECA.

France's President Emmanuel Macron welcomed French clubs refusing to join. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, "It is your game — and you can rest assured that I'm going to do everything I can to give this ludicrous plan a straight red." Prince William, president of English FA's  tweeted, "Now, more than ever, we must protect the entire Football community — from the top level to the grassroots — and the values of competition and fairness at its core.”

The Football Supporters' Association said the plans were motivated by nothing but cynical greed’. World players' union Fifpro said, "This decision leaves players and their unions with many concerns and questions about its impact not only on the fabric and cultural identity of Football but also more practically on their careers."

From Lycra to Helmets

In Vince McMahon the world of sports entertainment has not only got an icon but the undoubted daddy of his business. McMahon was the man to turn wrestling into a billion dollar global entertainment circus. His foray into pro-football has already come and went once before, back in 2001 in the guise of only one season of his XFL brand.

To understand why another league can fail or survive takes us on a journey of what has gone before. McMahon’s previous XFL experiment lost $100 million in total, split between NBC TV money and WWF joint funding. The league and its eight teams effectively collapsed when NBC pulled out after poor viewing figures. McMahon himself branded his own brain-child a “colossal failure”. McMahon’s desire and intension to restart his league has been in the pipeline for years now and he appears to be taking a new approach to his venture. Learning from his old formula largely comprises of not getting his wrestling brand involved, this is undoubtedly his own separate project. He has made a point of cashing in on his vast wrestling shareholding to make the XFL a fully liquid funded entity. What he has also taken on board is to get a real football man into his new set up, to give it the all vital respectability and experience.

Oliver Luck takes up the role to float the new league. This is not in the guise of a rival league as the 1980s U.S.F.L obsessed over. This is more a feeder league, adding to the thirst for extra pro-games. This approach follows on from the recently failed Alliance of American Football, who promoted a minor league baseball type approach to their set up. Luck was the man who led a trail blazing summer league once before; he took control of the World League of American Football and it’s vital inroads into the European market. The NFL itself funded and provided players for this project. Luck made a massive success of the leagues early days, based hugely on marketing guile, maverick marketing and sales techniques. London’s franchise, The Monarchs, and Germany’s obsessive fan-base managed to power the league until it was doomed by a lack of infrastructure.

Luck approaches the league from a position to know both what works and what fails. Realistically there was only one real candidate to fill the post for Vince McMahon. His single biggest task was to strike some sort of television deal to give the XFL the crucial platform to put its product out to the football hungry public. Recent news of a television deal for the XFL puts it into the sporting headlines. ESPN, FOX and ABC are all now combining to broadcast games weekly and in primetime on weekends. The broadcasting partners have expressed a desire to cover football year round and work with trail-blazers, McMahon and Luck. It’s doubtful to believe how any kind of league could have even got through the doors of the big players without the contacts and clout of the XFL’s two principle leaders.

The rub for the league is to innovate, not simple fireworks and showbiz. This has to be a league that is willing to trial what the NFL is not prepared to do with its own sleek but far from perfect product. This will cover how replay, officiating and rules will operate. Even covering the league’s approach to drug testing, in particular marijuana; players will not be banned for positive marijuana tests. Further to this, early noises coming from the XFL point to advances like two point shoot outs during overtime and similar out of the box thinking.  

It’s how the NFL views what’s going on within the XFL that will give it the essential kudos and validation that ultimately could sustain it. Add to the equation that the league will be run by Luck and financed by McMahon is absolutely crucial to its mere survival, never mind its level of success.

Hidden monks @CandiBorobudur

When i was scrolling #gegadisbujang Whatsapp group for spring cleaning reason- i see this picture that was accidentally captured by yours truly during #jomblotrip to Jogja mid of this year.

Taken at the famous Candi Borobudur, little did i know that genta/loceng can be open like that and there was Buddha monks meditating in it? Funny coincidence is; being a joker myself- i purposely make up funny stories during the visit to my girls. like a penglipur lara, i told them the  tiny handle on top of it--serves as the handle to open the genta.

After getting back from the vacay,while transferring pictures from camera to lappy, i found this picture! So surreal isnt it?

To add on some more funny things did happen during the visit, one of the girl went missing from the pack at the candi. We split to find her around that large site and things get pretty tense (plus our supir kinda jerk too pffft!). at the end we manage to find her and rest are history.

And when i post this picture in our whatsapp group, the missing one said;

"kalau korang tak jumpe aku jugak, maybe kena bukak loceng tu satu2 kot kena sorok dalam tu.."

i just cant imagine to open all 72 genta to find her. That is by the historical fact of genta which can be open. But i’ll make my way to the big one at the top centre first.The diva in her for sure chose the most prominent one. Period.
