When there’s GIANT money involved no bad idea is ever really dead.
The European Super League proposed by this group called A22 is trending on twitter again with their new proposal.
People nearly burned down the continent when that proposal was pitched.
This “new” idea is a bigger tournament.
60-80 clubs from leagues around Europe who will compete to crown a champion.
Only problem is that this already exists.
It’s called “The Champions League”.
you’re able to’t have two champions leagues.
The amount of competitions going on simultaneously is too much for my simple American brain to comprehend anyways.
Recently, my beloved Nottingham Forest made it to the semi-finals of the Caraboa Cup.
Not to be confused with the Premier League, the FA Cup, Europa League, or Champions League.
It was absolutely NOTHING compared to the playoffs in the Championship Division that Forest went through last year.
There were moments from that playoff that will be burned into the brains of fans forever.
That was the most important thing in the world to everyone involved.
In the words of Herm Edwards…YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.
If you’re not prioritizing winning a Cup then maybe it shouldn’t exist at all.
That brings me to my idea that people hate.
I really believe the sport would be better off with a format that crowns one true champion.
Europeans and their relegation system is AWESOME.
It’s getting kicked out of the league and all the money that goes with it.
That is a great system and nobody should venture to change it.
The teams are so different in February than they were in August because of the transfer windows.
It also gives every team hope of a dream run throughout the season.
I would scrap the Caraboa Cup all together and then condense the premier league schedule a bit.
More weeks with 2 games so the playoffs can start mid-April and end by early May.
And that is important because I want to give those fucks from A22 a little something too.
Have the winners of the top 16 European leagues also enter into a playoff.
That would take you right to the end of May.
The Final can be moved around the continent just like the Super Bowl moves.
These two playoffs to end the season would be incredible.
It’d great more moments, more memories, more money.
One true champion inside of one season.
I don’t know how anyone could be against more big games and memorable moments.
Everyone will be, but that’s okay.
