The clubs may have opened up a box they didn't anticipate.
Also will be interesting if Barcelona and Madrid fan/shareholders vote to back this as well, as would be required.
This is obviously about money, but what is important to realize is that the super league teams are almost all hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. Inter, the likely Serie A champion this year, may not even be able to pay salaries. So these clubs are making this Hail Mary bet under intense duress. And that's a big reason I think it will collapse, and why should UEFA renegotiate anything, as it becomes clear the renegade clubs are holding a much weaker hand than they thought.
Wow, hadn't been aware these clubs have gone into debt and the Super League is a Hail Mary to get out of it. It proves how the leagues need salary caps and the revenue sharing that comes with it to save the owners from themselves. And, it has been proven time and time again that rising tides lift all boats.
