So what happens to the rest of the Europa and Champion's Leagues this season? Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Man U are all still in those competitions - are they gonna be allowed to compete? WTF is going on

Is there really that much more money in this than CL/Europa league. I get that for the English teams it's nice to know they'll always have a spot but Barca, Madrid and PSG already have such unfair advantages with regards to domestic league that it's not like their spot was ever at risk. Or is the plan to do this AND Champions League, in which case, who the gently caress wants to watch that much? Although I guess with all the extra games they can finally have game time for all the talent everyone hordes.

The point is that they control all the money, not UEFA.

This is from the website:

https://thesuperleague.com/press.html

quote:

In addition, the competition will be built on a sustainable financial foundation with all Founding Clubs signing up to a spending framework. In exchange for their commitment, Founding Clubs will receive an amount of €3.5 billion solely to support their infrastructure investment plans and to offset the impact of the COVID pandemic.

So all the clubs get an absolutely stonking amount of cash up front - gently caress knows where this is coming from though.
