Are we really about to open Pandora's box?

"#ECJ : European Super League claims @UEFA
/ @FIFAcom
in violation of #EU Competition rules in a reference from Madrid Court #football #EuropeanSuperLeague (C-333/21)"

"UEFA takes note of the announcement by the European Court of Justice of the referral from a Madrid court on the so-called European Super League, notwithstanding the withdrawal of nine of its founding member clubs. UEFA is confident in its position and will defend it robustly."

European Super League: Six English clubs set be fined £20m by Premier League

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57414151

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal wanted to form a breakaway league, a plan that was widely criticised across football and by the UK government.

Fined for what?

They had no intention to leave the premier league.

As we said:

FC Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid CF welcome today's Court's decision enforcing, with immediate effect, UEFA's obligation to unwind the actions taken against all European Super League founding clubs, including terminating the disciplinary proceedings against the undersigning three clubs and removing the penalties and restrictions imposed on the remaining nine founding clubs for them to avoid UEFA's disciplinary action.

It's almost August so where is the official schedule of the first ever super league season (2021-22)? I can't find it.

UEFA (Mafia) deserves Super League. Sending Romanian referee to help Moldavian club in crucial game in Champions league qualification deserves 12 points from Romania to Moldavia. Bravo! It is hard to stay positive when you are coming from small poor country and see what these old mafiosi do to destroy this beautiful game.

Hm I wonder if they ever added protection against friendly countries refereeing. I don't think it was ever considered to block a referee from what should be considered a friendly country. We can also have referees from one country but of same ethnicity so I doubt you can have all this combinations.

On a side note I don't think anybody in Romania would FC Sheriff the team from Tranistria. Anyway a romanian would either be neutral if they don't care to much about our moldavian "brothers", or would hate them if they are one that would favor a union.

On another note CFR will play the loser of the FK Crvena Zvezda - FC Sheriff. So that is a bigger problem in my opinion.

Bullet points Spiegel+ (pay wall)

the Flint consulting agency have first-class contacts with parliamentarians and authorities. Their specialty is discreetly »paving the way« for difficult projects.

This summer, the company with offices in Brussels and London applied for a particularly delicate contract: They are supposed to unhinge international professional football. The football clubs Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin want to found a European Super League. Yes still.

Pérez and his people really want to push through the Super League. And the Flint agency wants to help them with that. They have designed a strategy how the league could still be successful against all odds.

Spiegel had access to the agency's first draft. The paper has ten pages and is entitled "Preparing the way for the Super League: the strategy for reconstruction, reset - and victory".

Flint promises to launch a campaign that will be "bulletproof" against attacks of all Super League opponents

The legal experts from Flint see chances of a victory in front of the European Court of Justice, which would then legitimize the Super League by the highest court. But just winning in court, without conquering the "hearts and minds" of fans and opinion leaders, will not be enough, according to Flint

The company plans to reverse the negative image of the Super League. With »discreet events« and »briefings for selected politicians, EU bureaucrats and journalists«. The aim is to take away the worries of decision-makers.

Flint lists important persons who should be influenced: the people of Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, EU parliamentarians with a connection to football like Tomasz Frankowski, media people like EU correspondents of the Financial Times and the FAZ

Flint experts point out in their paper that it makes no sense to try again with a league that opposes this principle of European football (pro/rel, open to all). Fans and politics would run into storm again.

the flagship product should be the Super League, there could also be a Super League 2 as a compromise. Promotion and relegation should be possible between these leagues.

the agency confirmed to SPIEGEL that it had received the Super League mandate from the clubs

Get rid of the Wildcard.

If you do, it isn't really different than the current structure of European football.

It is more or less having the CL in "SL1" and "SL2" and the Europa+Conference clubs in the "Conference League".
