As far as I am aware it would be a breakaway league, so all teams involved would leave their current league and not participate anymore.
There would be 12 founding members who cannot be removed from the league in the form of relegation.
5 clubs would be invited each season to participate (the winners of the remaining teams in the top 5 leagues england, france, germany, spain, italy)
What I don't understand about that is why would clubs join this (and therefore be expelled from their own leagues?) if they weren't guaranteed not to be removed from the league? Where would they go when relegated? Or would they, as each set of teams join each year, have to expand the leagues and have a 2nd division, 3rd division, etc?
 
Nothing is getting announced now is it, I think the backlash has them holding off on any announcement.
 
Question, from a purely sporting perspective.

How do you generate motivation from teams playing other teams that are languishing near the bottom half of this Super League, given that relegation or exit isn't a thing?

Just wondering, could this Super League sign players to then be put in a draft system for the teams in the league? Can see shite like this down the line.

Probably worth asking fans of American sports? I’ve asked before and they say it’s just going through the motions once play offs aren’t a question.
 
Feck! Had me as well, I’m on the sh*tter, no prizes for guessing what the missus thinks I’m up to
:lol: :lol: :lol: to be fair you've been in there for twenty minutes so you've already waxed your carrot haven't you
 
Be pretty funny if whoever wins the Champions League this season pulls an Alundra Blayze moment and throws the trophy in the bin on the debut episode of European Super League Nitro.

Shane O' Mac will be officiating the final if either City or Chelsea get there.

To be honest, the whole thing is a sh1tshow! Just when the pressure was begging to ease on the Glazers for overseeing our restructure, they go along with this kind of crap! Unless there is an alternative line of thinking behind this then surely has to be the last straw for the fans?
