The idea of a European Super League has reared its ugly head again recently, with Stan Collymore suggesting a doomsday scenario will occur when it goes ahead.
A year ago The Premier League seems doomedand Gary Neville was one of the notable former players To question the idea of its creation.
However, Unify League is the new concept now being pushed by organizers A22and critic Stan Collymore believes there is a sense of inevitability about the project.
Whether that would see the end of the Premier League as we know it is a moot point at present, although there is some certainty that other leagues will fall by the wayside.
The Premier League is inevitable
“I think the whole idea of a Premier League was and still is preposterous, especially if it became an invitation-only tournament,” Collymore told CaughtOffside. Exclusive column.
“The news is back again, and you can see what's going to happen.
“The way FIFA organized the Club World Cup is a clear example. He managed to beat Lionel Messi there despite not having any real sporting advantage from his Inter Miami team, except for the second-tier League Cup or whatever.
“You could see any of the Premier League organizers doing exactly the same thing to make sure the usual suspects are in place, ignoring the likes of Nottingham Forest who fully deserve a place at this season's level.
“It is ironic that Forest could qualify for the Champions League this season if they continue in the same way in the second half of the season, but they will not qualify for a preliminary round in the Premier League.
“Although the Premier League is unthinkable, it is inevitable It will happen“.
In fact, if the fans as well as the clubs do not want the Premier League to take place, then simply, as they did last time, they must mobilize against it and put an end to it once and for all.
Barcelona and Real Madrid appear to be the only European giants still 'committed' to the project, so it could take several years for it to become a reality.
But at that point, Collymore believes football as we know it will be over.
The Premier League will end football as we know it
“A lot of people will say, let the teams go, we have a strong enough pyramid system in England, but if it doesn't go hand in hand with the domestic leagues, the Premier League will kill a lot of leagues across Europe.” “Dead stone,” he added.
“Let's be completely honest, if you eliminate the top two clubs in a lot of those leagues, they're finished.
“I don't think the organizers really care, because they just want to see Real Madrid against Manchester United or Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich, Ajax vs. Inter Milan, etc. in an episode every week.
“So, whatever that leaves the local leagues or the schedules, they're not bothered.
He added: “Pep Guardiola has been banging his head on the table regarding the Club World Cup schedule, so we as football fans need to make a decision, and the FA must decide when enough time is enough, in terms of the number of matches.” It is played.
“The Premier League is just greed and a vanity project.
“No thank you.”
