The super league will seek dialogue with UEFA and clubs that are reluctant to join the project, he said Bernd Reichart, CEO of the company A22 Sport Management, which manages the promotion of the project led by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus Turin.
“We have opposing positions, this is clear. But I think the dialogue is necessary exactly between the different positions in order to find solutions,” Reichart said on the “Einfach Lupfen” podcast of Madridista Toni Kroos and his brother Felix.
“We are also seeking contact with other clubs, many of whom are reluctant to talk to us for fear of backlash,” he added.
ReicharI am sure that, since the first Super League proposal, a lot has been learned – for example in abandoning the idea of having permanent members and instead having a system of promotion and relegation.
however, Reichart He is convinced that there are issues of conceptual origin on which there is consensus, beyond the clubs involved in the project.
“There is a consensus in the football world that things are wrong. We believe that European football is not taking advantage of its potential and that European club competitions should be organized by clubs in the same way as national leagues,” he said.
“The clubs take all the risks and have no say in their competitions. The supporters are supporters of the clubs and not of Swiss-based institutions,” he added.
Among the problems mentioned Reichart there is the fact that the current financing system is under pressure, reinforced by the pandemic but also with structural reasons.
The second problem is the quality and attractiveness of the competition, where in the group stage there are games where no one is playing. “If they have a game without a game, and you can only get a sixth of the average TV audience, you have a problem,” he said.
Reichart said he hoped the backlash from supporters, especially in England, would subside and believed it was mainly related to the initial project and not what is being considered now.
“What we want is to make football more attractive and for clubs to take the organization of competitions into their hands,” he assured.
