Yep all the money would be in the super league .. Would see a mass exodus of owners in the prem.. Including Ashley .
Article on BBC - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46078651 - and in most of the papers.
Basically it's the "top" clubs - Real Madrid AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Manchester United all discussing a new Euro Super League behind UEFA's back. Leaks claim they'd withdraw from their Football Associations etc.
"The so-called founders, who would include the seven clubs named above along with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Paris St-Germain, would not face relegation and would be guaranteed membership for 20 years." They'd also have guest teams etc.
Whether this happens or not, i think we're getting closer to a Euro Super League and getting to the point where it won't matter what UEFA etc. say as the clubs will be to financially powerful.
If when it does happen, i can imagine it ripping the money out of CL and Prem, which could have some knock on effects for the clubs that rely on the TV money.

I doubt the fans will be happy with all that extra traveling and cost.
If these club do join a super league they should not be allowed to rejoin premier league when it all goes tits up. They should start from the Comference league.
Bayern München were very quick yesterday denying reports that they would be interested in a new super league.
It' will be just like the Champions league if it does happen and how many away fans will be able to afford that every other week.
That’s what I suspect and hope for.
The bubble will only burst when there is a reduction in demand to watch certain teams. This super league will accelerate the substitution of die hard supporters by theater goers. The latter may be less demanding on clubs but are also much more likely to lose interest in their team.
