Absolutely, zero bearing on the case in the European Court, previous rounds have seen the ECJ voice their displeasure over the Madrid courts activities - this is just Florentino Perez and his ongoing media war against UEFA, and keeping Real's fans onside
I should add that this Madrid case follows Decembers advisory from an adjudicator which acknowledges the right for the formation of a Super League but (and this was a surprising political twist) allowed FFIFA/UEFA and the European Leagues (that is the association of leagues including Serie A, Premier League La Liga EFL etc) to ban participants in the Super League from their own competitions - The ECJ is expected to formalise this advisory into a full judgement in the coming weeks - In the worst case scenario for Super League participants - players would have to choose playing for them only and not representing their country or staying within the greater football familyChester Perry wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:55 pmAbsolutely, zero bearing on the case in the European Court, previous rounds have seen the ECJ voice their displeasure over the Madrid courts activities - this is just Florentino Perez and his ongoing media war against UEFA, and keeping Real's fans onside

As long as that type of money is available, and it presumably still is, then there will always be someone who will be waiting for the right time to revive the idea*
*Waiting for the right time could be substituted with greasing the right palms in this context

Not really, CVC bought into La Liga and the Australian League, tried to buy into Serie A, the Bundesliga, The French Leagues and even the EFL along with others

But did the Spanish inquisition always fulfil their legal and/or moral obligations? or about as often as FIFA, UEFA or other pythonesqe slippery customersgawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:45 pmDespite what Monty Python told us, the Spanish Inquisition were legally obliged to give 30 days notice of their intent.
