The new European Super League plans have been branded a “walking corpse” by the head of the influential Football Supporters’ Association.
A22 Sports Management, the company established last year to establish whether a breakaway tournament could be established, this morning unveiled its latest plans in a manifesto containing 10 principles. They promise that a tournament would be meritocratic and see 60 to 80 clubs involved. Those teams would need to qualify for the competition via their domestic leagues.
But their document lacks clear detail and any Super League is likely to initially operate as a rival to the Premier League rather than an accompaniment.
