In about a week now, the whole football universe as been in serious uproar 'European super league' wants to join up with other European competitions, the UEFA champions league is one of the most watched competition all over the world with every fan supporting his or her own favorite club from wherever they are all over the world, the UEFA president ( Ceferin ) as come out to say the ESL can't come in for the sake of the fan, some quarter have said it's due to financial greed and selfishness, but let's take look at the positives and negatives of the ESL.
Positives.
Profit.
Every participating club earns 200m euros whether they win or not.
All participating clubs will want to win the competition to earn close to 400m euros, which is enough to go into any transfer period, particularly the summer transfer.
Top matches.
Every fans will have the opportunity to see high profile matches every season.
Superiority
All the top clubs will want to show superiority by trying to win the competition.
Market value.
Clubs market value increases sporadically.
Negatives.
Congested schedule
Cup competitions are in every league already coupled with UEFA competition and national team assignment, bringing a new competition might not be ideal.
Fatigue
Bringing in a new competition into already filled schedule is just trying to push the players to the wall, tired legs, over working and not giving the players enough rest can lead to injury or fatigue.
Cups scrapped.
All domestic cup competition will be forced to stop due lack of time and space for fixtures.
Clubs market value
Some clubs will be more richer while other clubs become poorer, which is not healthy for football generally.
Fun of the game.
The joy of the game will be lost, the taste of competition will be lost, the anxiety, the pain, the hunger to succeed would be gone, because either I win or lose, money is coming in.
Threat.
It could kill the global appeal of the champions league and render all other leagues that are not strong enough useless.

Whatever the pros and cons of ESL, UEFA have to relinquish their monopoly of European football revenues and make CL more attractive to those clubs that constantly qualify for the tournament.
