Yes please. I've been hoping they'd all just piss off for a while now. |  |

I would welcome the 'big' clubs breaking away with open arms, let them have their glitzy Euopean super league.
For a decade or so it would probably cause turmoil in the national football leagues, but they'd recover and be the better for it. I strongly suspect that without the historical associations and rivalries the glamour, and appeal of the super league would wear a bit thin over time too.
It would end up being sold to the rest of the world while the rest of us got on with our football, until the rest of the world got bored or their own competitions became more established and started sucking viewers away. Actually the rest of the world is the wrong phrase because South and Central America are unlikely to car or watch and it would probably be short lived as a success across much of Africa.
The day has been coming since the big clubs decided they no longer wanted to share their gate reciepts, what was that, 80's? Let them go is right in my opinion. |  |

When their fans realise there will be no more local derbies, the rivalries gone. Away days gone for all but the richest of fans. I'd suggest a majority will hate it.
But will the clubs care as long as they keep getting their money? Gate receipts are old hat now so if an expanded European League fills the coffers will they care if they lose the 'traditional' fan? |  | | |

This is going to be the big question, Clubs seem to want to go for it but I bet the fans don't, especially when you look at say Liverpool, essentially never playing Everton again, I can't see the fans wanting that, and to play someone like RB Leipzig instead.
Think there might be uproar. |  |

The big European clubs forming their own league wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the game overall, but they must then be banned from their own domestic leagues, or else they'll hoover them up with their "B" squads. This might also lead to fewer of the tedious "international breaks" as the big clubs wouldn't have to release their players. |  |

Clubs won't care about upsetting their traditional fans. All that matters in the modern game is generating money & more of that comes from TV, pay per view etc. What the big clubs really want is to squeeze UEFA to give them increasing percentages of the CL pot (already happening) while they can milk their domestic leagues as well (most give the big clubs a far bigger % than the PL). | |

The game would be far better off when those involved in the game for the money, rather than the love of the game itself, were simply told to fug off. |  | | |
