This is going to be a disaster. For all the leagues these 12 teams are currently part of and whatever for the super league takes when/if it starts.
FIFA/UEFA will not stand for this kind of thing, both organisations like to have 100% control. These 12 will be booted from all FIFA/UEFA tournaments, meaning all they have to play in is their 36 game super league. Good luck keeping all your players paid and playing with the money a league that the fans arent watching or spending money on/at. Whatever money the clubs are putting into this must be being paid back + profit by TV rights. If the fans are truly unhappy with this direction then we wont watch and then when the TV deal becomes worthless, as do any gameday tickets. The only way we as fans make a difference here is by not showing up to these renegade games.
I'm ashamed that my club is a part of this and I'd imagine past players and managers are as well.
