I’ve never been one of the ‘Against Modern Football’ brigade, pining for a past which never really existed. I absolutely love the Champions League and the elite competition it brings. However, the idea of a closed shop Super League is absolutely abhorrent.
The willingness of those involved to destroy the entire game, just to make more money for themselves is truly disgusting. The game isn’t perfect at present but this is completely the wrong way of looking to improve it.
To me, part of the beauty of the game is that through a combination of smart thinking, strong player development and recruitment, assiduous tactics, any club can rise through the ranks and ultimately win the biggest prize of all. This throws it all away.
This moves beyond just selfishness. It’s not just about enriching themselves further. It’s the willingness to blow up the 150-year history of the whole sport. To destroy international football as well as the club game. Just for money.
