UEFA will not allow Super League players to play for national teams

[Vallet]

The President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has confirmed that the organization will not allow participants of the Super League to play for national teams at the European and World Championships. The composition of the teams can seriously change in the next Champions League.
The President of the International Football Federation (FIFA) also strongly disapproves of the creation of the Super League. Much is ignored for the sake of short-term financial gain. Super League is a tournament that is a closed shop.

Players are always firstly members of their own nationality, and after that a members of their clubs.

I think this is neither possible nor doable. You present players with an impossible choice. leave the club, which you cannot or refuse to play for your club. Players are then the big victims in this soap. I don't think the Super League will come, there is too much resistance and the consequences are incalculable.

Banning players from other competitions only serves the purpose of those behind creating ESL, so therefore encourages rather than discourages it.

This is today football, where money make the rules. That's why people have lost interest for football, because finnancial fairplay in today football is a joke, and when players and teams play only for the money the show is over. Last week Real Madrid have made two bored draws with Liverpool and Getafe. If they make the ESL and the prize will be bigger I don't think this will change something, we gone see more bored games. And this ESL is only UEFA fault becouse they allowed clubs like Chelsea , Man City and PSG to make unreal transfers in the past years.

For all this talk about how unfair it is that they're making it a "closed shop":
(1) Until the early 1980s, you couldn't get promoted into or relegated from the football league in England. The team that finished bottom would face a re-election process that was almost always a formality. (the football league was formed in 1888 so this went on for almost 100 years)
(2) You can't get promoted into or relegated from the MLS, and for all I know there are many other countries/leagues in which this also happens
So lets not pretend that every league/competition is open to all and that the participating clubs have to earn the right to be there every year
(3) I've said this on other threads, but the latest so-called "champions league" proposals involved having 2 wildcard spots that teams could enter based on their historic co-efficient. Which would mean Real Madrid would be guaranteed Champions League football until 2 other teams managed to win 13 European Cups. AC Milan's position would also be safe for a while too. How is that not a closed shop?
(4) In the current so-called "champions league" set-up, champions of most countries have to play numerous qualifying rounds during July and August to reach the group stage. Those that do are banjaxed by the time the group stage starts and have no energy left to compete with the richer clubs who've been ushered in to the group stage because they finished 4th in a money-spinning league. UEFA are kidding themselves if they think that's a meritocracy.
