For clubs like Leeds United, the plans for a European Super League that were announced almost a year ago were nothing short of disrespectful. It was something that outraged football supporters across the continent, even those who follow the clubs that were planning to be involved in the breakaway competition.
In some ways, it brought the footballing world together in their disagreement of the grab from the executives of the planet’s biggest clubs for more money and more power. The Super League quickly fell flat on its face but it is widely believed that the clubs involved will be back with revised plans in the future.
A Sky documentary called Super Greed: The Fight For Football aired this week which provides an in-depth insight into the plans and how they rapidly fell apart. Angus Kinnear, the Leeds United chief executive, was one of those interviewed on the programme and pulled no punches in his assessment of the proposal.
