Maybe.
It's all about the TV money and those clubs are among the top 10 in the world when it comes to valuation.
United
Liverpool
City
Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
Munich
Dortmund
Schalke
Athletico
Madrid
Barcelona
Juventus
AC Milan
Inter
Roma
PSG
Marseille
That's 18 teams which has been rumoured as the potential size of a league like this...and really they are the biggest in the world based on Revenue/Following. I think it would actually be a huge mistake. The sport is so based on legacy and tradition and I think these clubs would be really hurt by a move like this long term. Domestic leagues + Champions League really is the best of both worlds.
