On 18th April 2021, reports started pouring in from various sources that something about a new competition, the European Super League (ESL) was cooking amidst 12 ‘elite’ clubs, that started the most calamitous, exciting, shocking and revolutionary 72 hours in the world of football. It sparked a range of emotions – anger, fear, hate, disappointment – and brought out something in the realm of football which is seen very rarely – unity. The event was so catastrophic, that a particular manager’s sacking amidst the chaos seemed miniscule in comparison! However the league, as of now, stands close to being dissolved now with huge uproar from admirers of the beautiful game. In this episode of Football Off-Target, we deep dive into the details of the proposed league, developments, reactions and consequences of trying to make it happen, and the standing of the league as of date. We commence a new segment of ‘Questions of the Legion’, where listeners send in their questions for discussion and perspectives. We also discuss about ‘Narratives’ and what could have possibly been the true intentions of all parties surrounding the ESL. In this episode we discuss about: Narratives – what are they? What is the European Super League? What is the current structure that sparked this competition’s creation? Complete breakdown of the timeline of 72 hours of utter chaos Discussion of the parties involved and the roles they play. What are the proposed UCL reforms? The game we love VS the game that's profitable. Questions of the Legion – listener interactions What next for the ESL? Is this the last we shall hear of it?
