I don't know why the fans in the UK would object. They don't get free premier league or free champions league. At least in Ireland we get free champions and Europa league. The new super league promise free to air for everyone.

As for teams having to qualify every year, well it isn't a problem in American sports. NBA, NFL,MLB and NHL teams come back every year without fear of relegation and nobody complains. It is not an issue.

Pretty much everyone gets to watch any game they want (Inc 3pm Sat) and chpions league for £50/£60 per year on the firestick.

How will this free to air work? The TV rights for the Premier league alone are astronomical. How is this financed? The likes of the Spanish big hitters are pushing hard as they need the money, where is the money going to come from? Advertising alone? Ticket sales won't cut it

Issue would be they don't want their sport to become a franchise sport like those American sports?

Florentino Pérez certainly doesn't take no for answer and will keep fighting until this elitist competition gets up and running
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I think,by and large, it is the match-going fans that object. Think back to how the United fans got their match called off.

The lack of relegation/promotion is part of what is wrong with American sports, imo.

Whatever private equity crowd is behind this wants to get its hands on the cashflows that currently belong to the EPL. The Bundesliga and the French League have SFA international income. All of the money in European soccer now is in either England or Spain.

if it was going to be midweek games people would just confuse it with the champions league anyway.
