How Would Asian Fans React To A New Football Super League

Football fans in Europe have reacted extremely angry to news that the big clubs want to leave the Champions League to create a new Super League which they cannot get relegated from. In the English Premier League, fans of the breakaway clubs have held protests against their own clubs, demanding a change in ownership.

The anger of the fans, especially in England has been so intense towards the owners and CEOs that they have all withdrawn. The fans feel betrayed by their clubs and the protests will continue until there is change at the top along with new regulations put in place so that it can never happen. In recent months, betting sites such as bet-tn.com have been offering odds on if clubs will change ownership or not and it has been a very popular option.

In Spain and Italy, the fans have not been as angry but one of the reasons for this is due to the uncompetitive nature of their national leagues, especially in Spain. Barcelona and Real Madrid are both in deep financial trouble. The Super League would resolve this as it would make the richest clubs in the world even richer. The problem is that it would also make the poorest clubs poorer.

There has been a mixed response from Asian fans to the news of the European Super League breakaway. A large percentage support the fans of the big clubs and want to see the game protected from billionaire owners, using the clubs as cash cows.

Most fans from Asia, however, support the big 6 teams from the EPL or the European giants involved that wanted to break away. The likelihood that they would change to supporting other teams is not very likely so the financial impact would not affect the clubs involved. One of the main reasons why the clubs wanted to create the Super League is due to the vast sums of money that can be made by TV and sponsorship rights in Asia. The competition was going to be designed around catering more for that marketplace so it may have improved the experience of the Asian fans that support those clubs.

Asian and the Middle East fans are only concerned about the big teams, which is why many are not bothered by the Super League developments. They do not watch teams from the lower leagues in Europe and do not have a deep understanding of the culture towards football in these countries. They are not as concerned about protecting the football pyramid that has been essential in developing along with the massive success of the game.

At the moment the European Super League is dead in the water which I think is a good thing. The big clubs already have all the money and power so giving them, even more, does not seem fair. One of the best things about football is that anyone can dream of playing in the Champions League for their team, it probably will not ever happen, but at least it is possible. Leicester City is a prime example of this in recent years.
