It will be based on value add - who has the biggest franchise/ fan base / sponsors etc
The core will be like this, these are the teams they need: EPL - top 6 (or at least 4 from here) Spain - Barca and Real France - PSG Italy - Juve, Inter, AC Milan Germany - Bayern Then it’s just filler with Atletico Madrid, B Dortmund, Ajax, Celtic, Rangers, Marseille, Roma, Porto etc making up the numbers. Maybe spread it around the countries for maximum value. If you don’t need to qualify and no relegation then they need to just call it something appropriate like the “soccer super bowl I”

You got it.
It's actually more subtle than that. Apparently the "Founder Members" will be immune from relegation for the first 20 years. The "Others" may, however, be relegated. And as I said earlier, I doubt it will be decided solely according to playing considerations - the commercial/revenue generating performance will be more important. Think of the American sports system of Franchises. No Franchise can ever get relegated. And if they are still unable to make a profit, the owner can always sell it to someone else, who can move the Franchise lock, stock and barrel to some other city, where it might be profitable. Consequently, if eg Zenit, Brondby or Besiktas aren't making their figures each season, you can always replace them with Porto, AIK or Glentoran. (OK, you have to let me have my little joke) |

Has John Delaney been linked to it yet? He'll probably be claiming that it was all his idea in the first place. Oh, and he's managed to reserve a place in the inaugural line-up for Waterford FC.

They might invite Nottingham Forest on board because they were good 40 years ago |

Sorry RB, but City wouldn't be involved historically. neither would Chelsea. Its facetious to mention Forrest, but the apple cart is being upset by Wolves, Leicester, and to a lesser extent Leeds. Newcastle's takeover would have increased their spending power to unprecedented levels. The fact that Arsenal have fallen out of the Top 6, and Manchester United are no longer guaranteed CL football, there has been a major culture change.

This comes up every few years, champions league format is up for discussion at the minute so it's back up again. Big clubs threaten this new league to get their way on the new format, uefa acqueiese, rinse and repeat in five years.
Amazed its given such credibility every time it happens.

Proposed European Premier League could be illegal under EU law, says leading sports lawyerClosed leagues without promotion and relegation could be regarded as anti-competitive The proposed new European Premier League could be illegal under EU law, leading experts on European sports law have said. “The moves afoot in Europe mean that the idea of closed leagues could itself be regarded as anti-competitive behaviour,” said Darren Bailey, a lawyer and consultant to Charles Russell Speechlys’ sports group who was formerly the Football Association’s director of football governance and regulation. The proposed new European Premier League, which is being led by Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, would reportedly be a closed league, without the usual system of promotion or relegation. As such it could be barred by European Union competition law. “In principle, yes - any closed shop for elite clubs is very likely to contravene the terms of EU competition law,” said Dr Katarina Pijetlovic, a reader in sports law from Manchester Metropolitan University. “Some promotion and relegation system would have to be in place, as well as solidarity payments and submitting to regulatory competence of Uefa and Fifa.” Pijetlovic said that even decisions made by the Europan Club Association may not be immune to a legal challenge, because the structure of its executive board is dominated by elite clubs. “There is a good chance that elite clubs might constitute either a collectively dominant group of undertakings or a powerful cartel and their blackmailing strategy in itself might contravene competition law." Any possible closed pan-European football league has been compared to
basketball’s EuroLeague. This features 18 sides, with 11 having
long-term licenses, guaranteeing their spots in perpetuity. The Union of
European Leagues of Basketball (ULEB), the association of the 11 major
basketball leagues in Europe, recently filed a complaint to the European
Commission against the EuroLeague organisers. ULEB argues that the
removal of spots for national league winners in the EuroLeague and the
way media rights distribution favours the 11 clubs with franchises
amounts to “anti-competitive behaviour” and the teams are acting as a
cartel. If the outcome of the case sides with ULEB, it could set a precedent that effectively means that any European Premier League could be stopped from getting off the ground. “It has the potential to set a precedent whereby established leagues can take a competition law complaint against a breakaway,” Bailey said. “It is somewhat unusual to have leagues taking legal action as a result of some of the restrictions on clubs being able to get into a European league. I think what we might be seeing is a reinforcement of the principles of the European sporting model, potentially come through complaints that are already in train through the European Commission. One of the key principles is promotion and relegation. This may impact on any closed-league structure being permitted in football. “The EuroLeague granted long-term licences to each of the 11 shareholder clubs and so limited access to the league. I think you could start to see the potential resonance of the case.” In 2018, Uefa and the EU signed a new Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement stated that the Council of Europe and Uefa recognise that the European sports model “is based on sporting and financial solidarity mechanisms” citing “open competitions with a balance between clubs and national teams” and explicitly mentioning “the principle of promotion and relegation”. |

I can remember a European league being talked about c1999/2000. IIRC that charlatan that was running Leeds at the time was quite prominent in pushing for it. The Old Firm supporters got really excited about it and took it as a done deal as I recall

Quite. P.S. Feel free to substitute "All-Ireland League" for "United Ireland team".
