Those teams will still compete domestically, their players will still play for their national teams...nobody will notice the difference.
You're leaving out that the new larger Super League would become the priority tournament year round. This would make the Premier League (the most popular, lucrative domestic soccer league in the world) into an afterthought, similar to the currently stagnant Carabao Cup. Teams in the Super League could afford massive squads, with the best players being reserved for the Super League, and the formerly number one Premier League being used to play fringe players.
Because of the fact that - unlike in the entire European football pyramid - the fifteen founder teams would not require any qualification via domestic league status, there will be no incentive whatsoever to risk major players in the Premier League, or to make serious efforts to win it.
It's a closed shop. Forever. No Leicester City miracles ever again.
Your example of Celtic vs Barca is terrible. They've played each other 10 times in the Champions League and Celtic have won once. So much for your "never in 100 attempts" hyperbole.
It is a massive change in that these clubs will govern the competition themselves without interference from the governing body UEFA. There will no longer be qualification on merit with the 15 founder members given a permanent places in the tournament. Many domestic leagues are threatening the breakaway teams with expulsion and UEFA President Alex Ceferin said that super league players will be banned from playing in the World Cup and European Championship, although I'm somewhat skeptical as to whether they have the balls to follow through on this.
I do agree with you that it's ridiculous that governments would seek to interfere in private companies setting up a sports league. The game is already ruined anyway. Egregious CL seeding makes the knock out stage a de facto closed shop already, but to claim that "nobody will notice the difference" is quite a stretch.
5 teams of 20 qualify on merit. 75% have their place forever.
Do you really believe that the teams involved in setting this up don't already and won't continue to indulge in the same progressive virtue signalling that UEFA do? If so, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Only a few hours after the government announced their intent to fight it.
It's collapsed because Roman Abromavich (Russin Oil Tycoon owner of Chelsea FC) and Sheik Mansour (Dubai Prince owner of Manchester City) are both in the business of owning clubs for glory. Unlike the American owners of Liverpool, Manchester United , Arsenal and AC Milan, they don't need the massive money this new league would bring. They bought and raised up their clubs as personal toys - not money makers.
Merely associating with that figure is a smoking gun.
Yeah, I figured. What a vile creature that was.
That's not a fair bet, because if I'm right but they agree to "equal pay" for the professional sexists, you still win.
I hestitate to go further because I don't know what it is about. Does the 'inquiry' have anything at all to do with women? If so, then we probably will get that BS, otherwise not.
What is the whole "Euro Super League" shit, and why is it good/bad?
Which would be more credible if the ones I saw complaining weren't FIFA and the IOC, both of which are themselves corrupt money whores.

So another way to punish the UK for Brexit by stealing all that Premiere League money...
What you are claiming is laughably inaccurate.

I wanted to insult her looks, but then I discovered that it's because she had cancer.
Where are you getting 'feminism' from?
This is correct. So you want to make predictions about this?
You're spouting pure bullshit there, mate.

Not a smoking gun.
I'll take the bet that it will not be banned.
Yeah, I figured. What a vile creature that was.

and the entire thing has already collapsed barely two days in lmao
Don't pay attention to soccer. What is this about?
