Finally a great idea from this man.

Imagine a­ competition where the best teams play according to­ quality and not national borders!

Imagine a­ competition like NBA only instead of all-american one -­ an all european one!

Like the current CL, only full­ year of league football among the best teams in Europe­ - let's say top 5 in Spain, top 5 or 6 from­ England, 3 or 4 from Italy, 2 from each Germany, France­ and Russia and a few others - from Portugal,­ Netherlands, etc.

Not as an add-on to national league­ with a short playoff in the spring like now, but same­ as current national leagues only a REAL european­ league, to create the most powerful competition in the­ history of sport.

Football is the most popular sport,­ but unlike the NBA it's too split into small­ competitions, so that many teams are too weak in the­ spring, especially those who fight for the national­ title during the same weeks.

Don't be­ nationalistic sheep like majority, the best league will­ lift the sport higher, even as many smaller clubs will­ have to settle for local competitions. But hey, they do­ that now as well.

No1 place to sport, No2 to money,­ and No3 to useless nationalism. Much better than the­ current situtation.

I have a suggestion to the Spanish football association­ and UEFA, since Real Madrid are dying for trophies and­ they would do anything to collect as many as they can­ (regardless of the destructive they are making to the­ game), you may make a copy of the Spanish league and­ the champions league trophies and present them to real­ Madrid at the end of each season and spare the game the­ damage which we are witnessing by the spoiled behavior­ of a supposedly a great club.

Yes, please do.
Take the self-proclaimed­ 'Big-4' - they won't be missed here in­ England!
Oh, and when it all comes crashing down around­ their greedy, selfish ears they can start again here in­ England . . . in the Conference!

Perez is one man whose attitude to the game of soccer­ dazzles me. First, he brought back d galacticos era, an­ idea that left Madrid in the doldrums from 2002 to­ 2006, and now he wants a "Super League".­ Pathetic!

To the last comment SashKa, "biggest money and­ salaries are in NBA" WRONG! its baseball!­ ARod, Jeter and texeria are the 3 highest paid players­ (all play for the yankees) in the world of any sport­ and CRon is the 4th. NBA does not have the biggest­ salaries its baseball!

would love to see a salary cap­ tho, sure has made NHL more interesting over the past­ few years!

omg this mans think he can rule the world now.....you­ didnt manage to beat liverpool in the champions league­ and now you want a super league to play on your own!!!!­ listen mr perez...football is a game people like to­ watch and enjoy and what you are doing to the whole­ market is unfair cause you are really ignoring the game­ but only thinking about money...please lock him­ up....where is mr platini???? he is only against­ english clubs and leave this idiot do what he­ wants??????

F#%k Florentino Perez and his stupid plans !

A Salary­ Cap should be implemented though in order to even the­ top teams and not let Perez causing inflations and­ criris by taking astronomical credits to buy everyone­ he wants ! Pathetic !

Look how NBA works ! Sport No. 1­ is footbal, but the biggest money and salaries are in­ NBA.

"SUPER LEAGUE" is a new name for old European­ Cup.Todays CL? A competition made up of­ champions...not.How come 3/4 teams in each group never­ won there domestic league and they still have seeding­ in the groups.Since the start of the CL,you could­ almost handpick the last 8 from the 1st round.CL was­ devised so the bigger clubs would not lose out on money­ from being knockout out at the 1st round through a bad­ draw.
Some nice football on show atm but no real­ excitement until the later rounds.
The world economy is­ falling to the ground and all we here is how to make­ more money from football,which in turn means from the­ fans.
Give us back our 1 game a week,Sat 3:00 kick off­ and let us take our luck from the draw in European­ Cups.
We dont need 50 camera angles,2hrs of build up­ another 2hrs of review the match etc.
Current CL format­ still produces half filled stadiums in europe,an idea­ something is wrong...

so you want to watch your club play if you travel to­ home and away games who want to pay flights and­ entrance fee . perez is looking for away to get his­ money back for a spending spree that he thinks is going­ to win everything lol

IF he is allowed his­ DREAM.............................think just how much­ the BIG CLUBS getting it TOGETHER........they would be­ able to FORCE alorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrra­ ££££££$$$$$£££££$$$$ outta SKY for the rights and guess­ WHO will be getting hit­ worse............................"JOE­ PUBLIC!!!"

Yourv'e been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

based on the results gained by real in the UCL, at­ least in the last 5 years, shows that they don't­ deserve even a place in the super league.....really­ pathetic...."low-profile" teams (like­ atletico, fenerbache, porto, schalke) reached to do­ better than real reached to do....

It's better for Florentino Perez to SHUT UP...­ because he destroyed the football around the world with­ his over-priced signings, so how come the likes of­ Bayern and Man U don't participate in his @#$$%­ idea?
Does he still want Ribery? didn't he know­ that he's not for sale yet? he still wants wings,­ so it's better for him to get them from KFC!

Real­ win nothing.... Bayern RULE

This is actually the only thing Perez has said that I­ agree with, I think it sounds like a very good idea,­ the Champions League, good as it is (And I say this as­ a Barcelona fan) is a cup competition. Therefore theres­ always going to be questions over who's the best in­ the world, even when they win. A League would settle­ this I think....

Real Madrid in super league?? more like an amateur­ league after this great club has been bankrupted by­ some daft old dreamer, it reminds me of the old spurs­ side under Ardilles all out attack no defence, as soon­ as the meet a team of pedigree in champions league next­ year there out, and i think Barca will win La Liga.

he is the most stupid chairman i had ever seen in the­ whole world, he thinks selling T shirts will bring him­ the money he spent where others can sell T shirts­ without paying this amount of money, the issue is how­ much u gonna make. to be honest with u guys i hate­ cheaters and they are the biggest.

I dont know what sleeping pills perez has been taking­ but i think someone needs to check his prescription.He­ is out of his mind,the champions league is the league­ for all big "super" clubs.I think Real Madrid­ has gone to his head.P.S United for life.

Only and Only if they pay they will win trouphies other­ wise managers, coaches and players have nothing to do­ with the result, no wonder they have fired cappillo­ when he win the liga after three years 0 result. we all­ know how they work and how they treat others. in few­ years hopefully they will be at second devision when­ they have no money to buy anyone or any trouphy. a team­ with no base will always be a side team and cant­ copmete with the pros such as barca, liverpool or man­ u. a policy of stealing players from the others will­ never last. i have advised them so many times to creat­ their own players in order to survive between the­ others. a team with no policy except stealing the­ players from other will never win anything.

it is a disgrace what is happening, spending this­ ridiculous amount of money. and now they want to­ destroy the entire notion of sport. it is fair to let­ also the smaller clubs to participate in any European­ competition even though they have a small chance to win­ it.

liverpool forever

Just thought i'd inform you that­ Liverpool Football Club is not in debt, but its parent­ company that holds its asset is.
Ford motor company was­ in debt but its asset at the time Aston Martin was not.­ Just because the parent is in debt doesn't make­ the subsidiary the same way. Its a was of tax­ management :P
On the same note, Utd could easily be­ structured in the same way, but i believe currently the­ debt is owed by the club. Chelsea on the other hand­ are bank rolled by one man so it will be a directors­ loan, but there is no stopping of a restructure in the­ same way.
Madrid are bank rolled literally. Arsenal­ are in debt due to the stadium that was financed with­ securities against season ticket sales. Need i go­ on?

Personally, if they forced a wage cap it would­ create more problem than it solves. The divide between­ the haves and havenots would be bigger. At least­ currently the champions league is a potential target­ for clubs. Everton had their chance a few years back­ and Villa had a good run for it this year.

MAYBE a­ solution for many of the problems is to force the need­ for homegrown players for match days.
e.g. the current­ bench of 5-7 players could be extended to 10 players­ but the squad must include at least 5 under 21s that­ have been with the club for at least 2 years.
This­ wouldn't greatly effect the current situation but­ there would be a renewed emphasis on youth development.
