FIFA are riding with UEFA ( for now imo) because uefa are their homies. But if the ESL show FIFA that mula, there's no reason why they wont fall back.

Yeah the domino effect could be brutal. The ESL is great for those 12 but terrible for everybody else. Flo Perez motto is basically trickle down economics which we know only work for the top.

Also if those 12 clubs dont get to play in any UEFA and FIFA competitions then they do not have any incentive to hoard all the best players to be able to compete in 4 leagues/cups a year as they do now. They would probably need 23 players tops like WC squads.

And with all those lower clubs at risk, it could also pose an economical collapse for all Euro and foreign feeder clubs. That's when governments come in and regulate.

There are far more hurdles for ESL that those 12 thought.

exactly the main issue i see those in here ignoring who think this isnt an issue of greed hyper capitalism

not only does it break the game in the sense you are talking. but these mugs think they can implement this NEXT SEASON! without any forewarning for the rest of these clubs and nations to figure out how to survive. its a complete joke.

i can see some owners threatening to sell off if this doesnt go through. and that would ultimately be the best thing for the sport even if it were to mean my club sold(doubt it).


these owners want the ability to be perennial losers and still get paid for it. some of these mf woudlnt have a problem being the pittburgh pirates of ESL and never really have to compete just do enough to have money to complete any business dealings within the club and for their other businesses!

The greatest mistake that the capitalist gangsters make is believing that they are so important and so irreplaceable that if they threaten to leave us, we will do anything they ask for, like a long-suffering woman in an abusive relationship. But they're not that important or that irreplaceable, and we are not women trapped in abusive relationships. They get away with it 99% of the time, but every once in a while, no matter how big they are, their bluff gets called and they get exposed for not being anywhere near as powerful as they pretend to be.

I'm Australian. Earlier this year our government, the Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia, a small and fairly insignificant player on the world stage, locked horns with Google and Facebook, on behalf of Rupert Murdoch and the news media's claims that they wanted compensation from the Silicon Valley giants for their listing news stories on their sites.

Google and Facebook threatened all kinds of things and ran an aggressive advertising campaign here to defend themselves. Google in particular let loose some fighting words: they were going to terminate Google search altogether. They were going to get rid of Google Maps, Drive, and Gmail. And they were going to remove all cloud server hosting services from the Australian market. These were enormously serious threats. Yeah you can get by with Bing, Apple Maps, Outlook and Microsoft Onedrive for your searching, navigation, email, and personal cloud services. But their industrial cloud servers are irreplaceable. Between Google and Amazon they have like 100% of large scale cloud servers that businesses and even government organisations rely on. This was a nuclear option. If they went ahead with it, they were basically bombing Australia back to the Stone Age (well, the pre-internet and e-commerce era.)

But our government, which is barely a postage stamp on the world stage compared to Facebook and Google, refused to back down. And they won in the end. Facebook removed news services in the Australian market rather than pay up, but they couldn't stop the legislation going through, and eventually they had to pay up and restored news services. And as for all of Google's tough talk, their ass done fell off when it came crunch time. They accepted the legislation and settled out of court immediately with the Murdoch media. In the end free access to the Australian market was worth more to them than the concessions they had to pay. And its set the precedent now. If little Australia can do it to the behemoths of Silicon Valley, then the whole world can too. It only requires an ounce of courage to stand up to them.

Now, if an entity as insignificant as the Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia can bully true giants like Google and Facebook into submission, what do you think world powers such as the European Union together with Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland could do to little piss ants like Florentino Perez? He and his friends are about to learn that they picked the wrong ones to press your luck with and the wrong ones to fukk with
