It’s almost three years since 12 of the biggest football clubs in the world announced plans to form a European Super League. Terrible idea. It rocked the sport, and caused uproar amongst fans, who accused the clubs of sticking two fingers up to everyone else. However, it wasn't just the sheer greed of this brazen move that disappointed me - rather what it would do to the 'beautiful game'.
It didn't happen - or hasn't yet, at least. How shocking it was for these founding clubs that not everyone was salivating at the prospect of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester City playing each other more regularly in a competition that completely closed off anyone else.
