The domestic leagues obviously wouldn't agree to that - for instance in the Premier League, 14 clubs have to approve any changes, and everyone not involved would be against. So they'd have to break away from their domestic leagues, which has two main issues. One is the risk - if it fails there could be huge consequences for them being legitimately made to reapply and re-enter their domestic leagues at a lower level, whereas if the competition just replacing UEFA fails UEFA can't use that as an excuse not to let them all back into the Champions League thanks to EU law. The second is a legal issue in Germany because players contracts are tied to the Bundesliga, ergo everybody at Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund would suddenly be available on a free transfer and they'd lose hundreds of millions of Euros.My argument is that, if they are going to have to drop from UEFA anyway, wouldn't it make more sense for the top 5 leagues to join together and form this Super League competition? They wouldn't have to worry about their top teams leaving to form this other league, and the top teams wouldn't have to split their winnings with APOEL.
