In the same week the Super League was announced, UEFA pushed through their Champions League reforms. Spoiler, they stink.
More clubs, more money, more greed.
More clubs, more money, more greed.
The second bullet point is the crucial one. They’ve spent the last 48 hours reiterating how crucial competition in sport is, yet they’re more than happy opening the back door for the big clubs when it suits.
Their record in dealing with racism in football is abysmal. A 10 match ban for racially abusing Kamara was the most they could give Kudela, only to threaten players at Super League clubs with bans for life.

Shouldn’t really need to say anything about this one. A 5000+ mile round trip from London with no direct flights. Wow.
Even when fans can make the final, the allocations and ticket prices are utterly ludicrous.
Interesting to see UEFA position themselves as ‘for the fans’ this week. The same fans whose lost lives before the 1985 European Cup final wasn’t enough to cancel the match?
UEFA have been riddled with corruption for decades. An organisation swimming in criminals.
Russian gazzilionares Gazprom have their logos plastered over every Champions League match. They alone make up for 17% of the world’s global oil production and contribute 8% of Russia’s GDP.
And well, FFP. The child of Platini designed to ensure the rich stayed rich. It was there to keep the big guns from ever being challenged at the top of European football and to stop them from ever breaking away to form a Super Lea...
