Is there still talk of a Super League? I thought that had been put to rest, it's a silly idea.

Much like whoever put Manchester United into the Champions League draw, it's bound to be an epic fail.

A clever idea trying to ensure the rich clubs remain rich clubs.Money talking.

the whole idea needs to jog on, leave football alone. there are enough changes which are ruining the enjoyment without this.

If it was genuinely driven by a desire to create a better European club tournament, I’d be for it, but it’s just greed. Football is in a right mess at the moment, FIFA and UEFA are just as bad at the minute, the whole thing needs a massive shake up but a European Super League just isn’t the answer.

Hurray for EU competition law. Having a pretend market comes above all else once again.

It's obviously a terrible idea, but it'll only happen if clubs agree to take part in it and they're mindful of a PR disaster. It's immaterial right now, anyway, as UEFA are turning the Champions League into an ESL anyway. What happened to Europe's premier knock-out competition?

Of course, the burning question on everyone's mind is whether Yeovil Town would take part. Well now you can rest easy!

I believe the Champions league should be for one set of Clubs, Champions only of their national Premier leagues.

When they increased the number of clubs that could qualify they devalued the competition & it became just a money making exercise, and it also finished up devaluing the Cup completions because the big clubs field their weaker teams now.
