Tidligere torsdag besluttet EU-domstolen at Uefa brøt konkurranselovgivningen da de blokkerte superligaplanene. Like etterpå gikk selskapet A22, som styrer superligaen, ut med nye planer for å lokke til seg klubber.

– Jeg har ingen som helst tro på at private krefter som bryter ut av hele systemet skal kunne forvalte dette på noen bedre måte. Vi er til syvende og sist et demokratisk system og da må man heller jobbe mot og ikke gjenvelge de kreftene man ikke vil ha i systemet hvis det er det det går på, sier Klaveness.

The men’s proposal includes 64 clubs across three leagues: Star, Gold and Blue. The Star and Gold Leagues have 16 clubs each, while the Blue League has 32 clubs. All clubs will play in groups of 8 – home and away – resulting in a guaranteed minimum of 14 matches per year.

- At the end of the season, a knockout stage of 8 clubs will be played in each league to determine the league champions.

- There will be annual promotion and relegation between the three leagues, with promotion into the Blue League based upon domestic league performance.

- There will be no increase in match calendar days beyond those contemplated by existing cross-border competitions.

- Matches will be played midweek and will not interfere with the match calendar of domestic leagues.

I lys av dagens ECJ-dom angående en mulig ny Super League understreker Rosenborg sitt klare standpunkt mot dette prosjektet.

Fremtiden til europeisk fotball kan bare sikres gjennom at klubber samarbeider gjennom ECA i tett partnerskap og samarbeid med UEFA og FIFA.

Sistnevnte uttalelse blir vel omtrent som da Norge skulle boikotte VM i Qatar. Altså hypotetisk.

The war for football’s wealth began a new chapter on Tuesday with the backers of the European Super League rebranding it the “Unify League�, ready to challenge Uefa’s Champions League pre-eminence with a claim that it will be free to watch.

The erstwhile Super League (ESL), which had a seismic impact on the game when it launched in April 2021, said the new proposals would not include permanent membership of the league for a small elite – as was the case in the past. It guaranteed annual qualification via domestic leagues for all but the defending champions in the four proposed new competitions and said it would now formally request recognition from Uefa and Fifa to market its proposal to clubs.

The proposal is for 96 clubs to compete in the Unify League – fewer than the 108 that qualify for the group stages of Uefa’s three competitions. The Unify League champions would eventually come from the top two tiers, the Star League and Gold League. Both leagues would feature 16 teams divided in both cases into two groups of eight. Those eight would play each home and away – 14 group stages fixtures. The top two clubs from each of the four groups would go through to a final eight.

The final stages would begin with two-legged quarter-finals, followed by single game semi-finals played at a neutral venue in the same week as the eventual final. That would mean 18 games in all for the winner. In its current format, the winners of the Champions League this season will play 15 games – or 17 if they do not qualify in the top eight of the group stage. The Blue and Union leagues would play a similar league and knockout format, and there would also be a women’s competition.
