Yeah, they were just mad the Super League wasn't THEIR idea, that was the problem.

[@a-walpatches6460]

The major difference is that the super league is a closed league, even in its proposed rivised format the big clubs don't need to perform domestically to qualify. That's huge! English clubs will never join the super league, we won't let that happen as we've already shown and soon there'll be a law that kicks them out of the premier league in they join.

How is this worse? Currently, during the Group Stage, a team in Pot 1 (eg - Man City) would play against teams from Pots 2/2/3/3/4/4. The only difference is, now they play teams from Pot 1/1/2/2/3/3/4/4. This actually makes the group stage more balanced too. Every team with play the same number of teams in all 4 pots. No more advantage for teams in Pot 1 getting easier draws. No more advantage for a team like PSG who is gifted an automatic spot in Pot 1 every year for playing in a farmers league. No more Groups of Death either.

The only issue for elite clubs will be to make sure and finish in top 8 to get that automatic bye into knockout round. Because you'd rather not play 2 additional playoff matches and tire out your players/risk injury or perhaps elimination that way. It should matter the order of finishing 1 through 8 somehow, so that Real - for example, doesn't just put out team C in matchday 8 because they are already guaranteed a top 8 placement no matter the outcome of the last group stage game.
