Not sure you get it. The issue isn't that we are complaining about being outspent by wealthier sides. We would prefer to be part of a proposed competition that increases our revenue, therefore making us more relevant in the world game, more likely to sign top talent, and hold no particular allegiance to FIGC or UEFA.
Increase your revenue at the expense of what? The money has to come from somewhere and since Super League replaces UEFA, the obvious source of the extra money is UEFA's profit. But UEFA hardly retains any money. Are Super League's broadcast rights worth more than the UEFA package of CL, Europa League, and Conference? How is that justified? If there's more money because of more games, won't players want a piece of that pie? The other way you would be taking home more money is by taking money away from other teams. Why would they put up with that? If you want to split a larger portion of the money based on participation or "founders status" then why would teams that perennially perform well in UEFA accept that? Are you really leaving UEFA just to escape the FFP rules? What do you gain by spending more than 70% of your revenues on players? Why would the owners put up with that? Do you replace FFP with a Super League salary cap? Why would players want that? The idea is more money for more people but the devil's in the details. If the biggest clubs are all on board, and you think that as a midsized club you're going to be benefited, you should consider it more deeply. They aren't joining to make less money.
Like it or not, Euro football needs to be restructured or soon the Euro part will become irrelevant for all but a few of clubs outside of the Prem. FIFA, UEFA, FIGC are all corrupt to their core. A new structure is needed, like it or not.
Those are valid questions that I'm sure are being asked by club executives. Obviously, the club would not elect to make such a move unless it perceives the move as financially lucrative. What is a fact is that, as presently situated, the Prem clubs are financially shoulders above the rest of their European counterparts. If a club like Juve have a way to bridge that gap (again, if it's feasible), why not? They certainly don't owe anything to FIGC.
You could cheer up the French as these for more than a year now and with increasing anxiety watched Dutch clubs performances. They had a sigh of relieve when AS Roma eliminated Feyenoord, as this gave them some (temporaly?) breathing space in their struggle to keep the 5th spot.

UEFA pizzed at Gravina. I guess this may force UEFA to step up and take responsibility for banning us if that is what they want. They were hoping the FIGC would keep us out of Europe and get UEFA off the hook for banning us when the Euro court said they couldn't punish us. https://football-italia.net/ceferin-and-uefa-angry-with-gravina-over-juventus-plea-bargain/
We have officially Bent The Knee: https://football-italia.net/report-juventus-leave-european-super-league-project/ Let's see how the Emperor Ceferin treats us now.
🚨‼️ In the letter sent by Juventus to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the general manager, Maurizio Scanavino, says that UEFA has threatened Juventus with expulsion from European competitions for 5 years. [AS via @MatthijsPog ] #Juventus— Juventus News Live (@juvenewslive) June 6, 2023
On the other hand (internal discussion with myself), if we went this far, why wouldn't we wait for the European Court ruling? Although if they threaten us with 5 years, holy hell.
🚨🚨 Diario AS: 'UEFA threatened Juventus with disqualification over Superleague':- Irrefutable evidence that UEFA threatened Juve with expulsion from Europe for three years- Superleague and A22 to take legal action on the matterhttps://t.co/ppsM0cw3JH— Juventus News Live (@juvenewslive) June 6, 2023
Good move imo. This will get eufa off our backs and save us from being banned from European competitions
🚨The Super League will take UEFA to court based on the fact that they “threatened” to ban Juventus form Europe.They claim they have all the evidence to do so. #Juventus[@sport]— Bianconeri Zone (@BianconeriZone) June 6, 2023
This is an interesting development. If there is actual proof that UEFA did this, I think they are in trouble based on the previous Euro court decision. Clearly these are the actions of a monopolist which are illegal under Euro law. Maybe our 'capitulation' was a strategic move?
Don’t care about anything Agnelli has to say, he got Juve into the trouble it is. He can ******** off.
I stopped believing we are smart enough to do things like that. We keep thinking we are playing 4D chess.
🚨‼️ UEFA and ECA, a sensational turning point: now the Super League is real. After the problems caused to Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona by the Super League project, now the same competition could be launched by none other than UEFA and ECA themselves.the competition would…— Juventus News Live (@juvenewslive) October 2, 2023 Well, well, well...
That is completely different from a Super League created by bankers and for-profit owners... This would be created by UEFA and have promotion and relegation from the get-go. It is a completely different proposal than the Super League, and I doubt there will be any fan in the world who will oppose this. Also, it doesn't really solve the money problem for second-tier leagues and teams. Italian clubs won't suddenly be able to compete with top EPL teams to sign the next hot player/coach.
No team in Europe, except those bankrolled by oil money, can compete with the EPL. The amount of TV money they receive is immense. Italian teams will continue to have to sell players to balance the financial books. EDIT: UEFA have introduced a new cost control schema to replace Finanicial Fair Play (which really never worked). The Swiss Ramble has a good discussion of this: https://swissramble.substack.com/p/uefa-squad-cost-control-ratio-2023 although it mostly focuses on the EPL, he does have data on other leagues . "UEFA director Andrea Traverso suggested that “Italian clubs will be the ones who have to work hardest” to meet the new targets. His view is supported when looking at the cost control ratios for Italy’s leading clubs, as only Atalanta are currently below 70%. All the other clubs are above target, especially Roma 117% and Juventus 97%."
