Daniel Levy - Chairman

According to Wiki (if correct) not strictly true about being created by clubs on the continent, Perez, Agnelli, Glazer , Henry and Kroenke were the behind the idea of the ESL .
Why would Spurs become irrelevant , two bigger clubs than Spurs i.e Bayern and PSG turned down the idea so they didn't think they would be irrelevent.
Also have to ask the question why were Spurs involved , if you go on domestic trophies won Villa are a bigger club than Spurs , that should raise a few eyebrows.

On the role of the regulator , they will have no power to alter the rules of the PL that is not their function, those rules are made by the PL clubs themselves and as we have seen they are not fit for purpose.

European Super League - Wikipedia

Spurs were in it because it's about viewing figures and money. We have more worldwide fans.
PSG didn't go into it because their ceo/qatar is basically running uefa. Byern because they are owned 51% by the fans.

The Super League concept was a massive win for the clubs. The European Court of Justice ruled that FIFA and UEFA were acting illegally trying to block it. Their statement "The FIFA and UEFA rules making any new interclub football project subject to their approval, such as the Super League, and prohibiting players from playing in those competitions, are unlawful,”

So whilst the SL didn't happen, the ECJ verdict shut down all of UEFA's planned punishments and weakened their position in football. We know that these governance bodies have been stealing decision rights for decades. I had it from someone very informed that UEFA average salary is 150k euro's and that only 55% of the revenues from the monies earned by the UEFA comps finds its way back to the participating clubs. Why should any of the participating clubs be happy about that?

This was the real agenda why those clubs got together including our own. In my opinion, it was absolutely worth it just to put these 2 big organisations on the back foot for future engagements. Now we sit back and watch as FIFA try to get their hands on the UEFA revenues, and hence we saw the club world cup. There will be more to follow on these power plays.

My view on all of this is that all the PL clubs should own their own TV infrastructure. They should no longer have their company revenues managed by other entities like the PL. They should own their own rights to their own product. I have a feeling it will happen soon, like we see with the 2 Spanish giants. There is an inevitability about this power play between the clubs and the governing bodies.

The pl is owned and run by the clubs. Did you mean the cl?
