A European League.

[frogmiller]

Is now the time that the big clubs of Europe form a new league? Covid 19 and it's restrictions could be a catalist for the top clubs to screw over their football associations and start a closed league for the rich and famous clubs.

This will open the doors for them to sell games to Stadium owners around the globe and form even a greater imballance of wealth within the game.

British teams like Manchester United and City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs could be lost to the English game whilst in Spain, Germany and Italy other giant teams with mega wealthy owners will want to join.

Let's face it, the FA and the EFL are not in charge of the game anymore! They accept a majority decision from the club owners but this will be different as they won't have a choice in the matter.

I kind of want a breakaway league to happen.

This could become a reality Frog, the teams you mention could break away and still field a weaker team in the premiership as well.

Them clubs that leave can't be allowed to have a second club affilated to an Football association gmgm. They can't be allowed to drink from 2 sources or it'll just kill the rest of football.

If they go there should be now way back and no way of milking other competitions anywhere in the world.

agree with all the above.

I suppose it would depend on FIFA agreeing because of the international angle with the threat of banning the players who take part in the new league from the World Cup.
Also English clubs would be banned unless we agree to the Froggies fishing in our coastal waters

I think a breakaway league is a possibility

What we might get first though is a Premier League 2 populated by the reserves of the main clubs, followed by a complete separation of the leagues below it.

So promotion to the Prem from the Championship might become impossible, so the Premiership can protect their brand image and USP

I could live with a small group of clubs leaving for a super league but to stop promotion to and from the prem would be a death knell.

But for which clubs?

The majority of those teams outside the Premiership have little if no prospects of getting there.

The elite clubs don’t really want the likes of Watford, Derby etc being in their cosy little club.

I meant it would be a death knell for my enthusiasm for footy Grist. If the door to the top level, and the little chance we have of getting there anyway is closed off, I don'y think I'd see football in the same light and don't think I'd follow it any more.

Imperative we get promoted this season then
