Aye, you're probably right,  we always tend to give the powers that be too much credit.

It may be an American proposal, but that wasnt what was being suggested - what was being suggested was "mainly American owners" which it clearly isnt.

 

Clubs like Madrid may be in for a very rough ride then because with it literally dismantling within a couple of days of being announced the fans may very well still turn their backs on those clubs for even engaging in the proposal in the first place.  The fans don't drive the income but a club like Madrid also relies on its global fanbase for its commercial TV rights in La Liga.

Would it be more correct then to describe them as 'mainly rapacious capitalists'? ?

You're not cynical just accurate I think.

Perez clearly has the right idea..... invite a dozen clubs into a super league, have the other 11 pull out because of thebacklash.... take the £1.1 billion and pay off the debts of Madrid - lol

Bloody hell - is that really what's going on?

Naw, the money was held in trust, if the holding company disolves then the clubs get their money back. Perez just gets back Madrid's contribution.

From Football 365. 

UEFA reportedly offered the Premier League clubs who signed up for the Super League ‘significant’ money to withdraw from the breakaway competition.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea announced their intention to join the Super League on Sunday night, but have already withdrawn from the competition.

 

The outrage of the fans, pundits, players, managers, other clubs and stakeholders is thought to have been a major factor in their decision to back out and John W Henry claims the project would never have gone ahead without the support of the Liverpool fans.

 

But according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo (via Caughtoffside) there was another key factor in the U-turn from the Premier League six.

The report claims it wasn’t quite the righteous win for football we had hoped, with the six not reversing their decision due to ‘threats’ but because they were ‘offered a lot of money’. With the future of the Champions League and Europa League threatened, UEFA dug into their pockets for a solution.

Mundo Deportivo adds that the Spanish trio of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are seen as the ‘main enemy’ of UEFA and the money was not offered to those clubs.

If true the Spaniards must have a grounds for action against Uefa. Inducement to breach contract, perhaps.
