We first discussed the ESL topic here when an announcement was made in 2021:

• A Super League Actually Happening?
It is all about money, for all is business. Football/soccer is NO exception. Everybody wants a “Super League” IF it can generate a boatload of money.
UEFA created “Champions League” (among others). FIFA wants her own super League — Club World Cup. UEFA even changed the “Champions League” to resemble the European Super League. The English think of their Premier Leagues as of a “super league” (although only about six teams might meet the criteria).
First of all, everybody thinks of the TV money. That money, however, is LIMITED and FRAGMENTED. There are countries that broadcast football (soccer) matches from some three dozen leagues and competitions! TV money is badly piecemealed!
There are a few BILLIONAIRE football clubs that throw around loads of money, only to fall in deep holes of debt. They don’t think it is fair. They have better players and play far more attractive games. Yet, the TV money is spread around to all kinds of ugly, miserable games.
There is also the issue of SPONSORSHIP money. Again, it is badly dispersed.
Thirdly, there is the BOOKIE FACTOR. As I said earlier, the bookies might be the determining factor for ESL to come to fruition:

Currently, a competition like the Champions League encounters huge upsets now and then. The bookies LOVE huge upsets and they offer very attractive odds. A large number of bettors LOSE huge amounts of money, as they bet in droves on the favorite.
In a “Super League”, the teams are closely matched. The odds are close: 1, X, or 2. Betting on upsets will not be attractive. Most bettors will still bet on the favorite. But in an ESL, “Favorite” is a relative term.
However, the betting houses will benefit thanks to a much larger number of TV viewers. More viewers, more clients.
Betting on the “underdog” is a sure-fire winning strategy in a competition like the FIFA World Cup. I proved it beyond any doubt in the case of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The ‘Betting on the UNDERDOGS’ system applies to the group stages only.

Au contraire, the Champions League offers a very low percentage of upsets.
Methinks the European Super League is a foregone conclusion. Frau UEFA, albeit backed by Frau Fascist Liberalism EU, can’t stymie history for long… not even Baba Biden…
