The idea of a European Super League has recently reared its ugly head again, with Stan Collymore suggesting that a Doomsday scenario will occur when it does.
A year ago It seemed that the Superliga was doomed to failureand Gary Neville was one of the high profile former players shy away from the idea of his creation.
However, Unify League is a new concept now being pushed by the organizers of A22and expert, Stan Collymore, believes there is a sense of inevitability about the project.
Whether this will lead to the end of the Premier League as we know it is currently a moot point, although it is certain that other leagues will fall into disrepair.
The Super League is inevitable
“I think the whole idea of Super League was and is pointless, especially if it becomes some sort of invitation-only tournament,” Collymore told CaughtOffside of his exclusive column.
“It’s back in the news again and you can see what’s going to happen.
“The way FIFA went about filling the Club World Cup is a great example. Managing to beat Lionel Messi there despite any real sporting merit for his Inter Miami side, other than a second-rate League Cup or whatever.
“You can see all the Super League organizers doing exactly the same to ensure the usual suspects are there, ignoring Nottingham Forest who absolutely deserve a place on form this season.
“It is ironic that Forest could qualify for the Champions League this season if they continue in the same way in the second half of the campaign, but they would not qualify for the opening Super League tournament.
“No matter how absurd it is, the Super League is inevitable and it will happen.”
In reality, if the fans, as well as the clubs, do not want the Super League to happen, then very simply, like last time, they must mobilize against it and put it to bed once and for all.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid seem to be the only two European giants who remain ‘all in’ for the project so it may be a few more years before it becomes a reality.
At that point, however, Collymore believes football as we know it will be over.
The Superliga will end football as we know it
“Many people will say, let the teams go, we have a strong enough and robust pyramid system in England, but if it didn’t go together with the domestic leagues, the Super League would kill many leagues across Europe stone dead,” he added.
“Let’s be completely honest, if you take the two biggest clubs in many leagues, they are finished. Done.
“I just don’t think the organizers care, because they just want to see Real Madrid against Manchester United or Barcelona against Bayern Munich and Ajax against Inter Milan, etc. on loop every week.
“So, no matter what it leaves home leagues or schedules, it doesn’t bother them.
“Pep Guardiola has almost literally been banging his head on the table with the Club World Cup schedule, so we as football fans have to decide and the FA has to decide when enough is enough, in terms of the amount of matches. is playing.
“Superliga is just a project of greed and vanity.
“No thanks.”
