Yeah, the format is a closed shop really, as far as the top two tiers is concerned. Two up and two down, it would take three years for anyone in the top two tiers to fall out of Europe. On the other mass insecurity in the bottom tier where you need to finish in the top three of your eight team group just to stay in. Presumably avoids anyone building up enough experience to challenge the status quo.
The proposal not to sell TV rights (instead streaming all games for free) seems extraordinary. It’s aimed straight at getting fan acceptance, of course, but I don’t see how they plan on making the kind of money in the long run from just sponsorship and advertising that they could do from selling tv rights.
Anyway, I don’t think it’s going to happen, right now the El Classico Two are the only ones backing it. But let’s see how things play out. Laliga broadcasts tonight carrying a “#earnitonthepitch” logo. Not sure I agree with them doing that either, mind you.
