A new independent regulator will have the power to BLOCK clubs joining any new European Super League.
Six English rebels - Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham - backed last season’s controversial attempted breakaway from the Champions League, led by Spanish superpowers Barcelona and Real Madrid along with Juventus. They faced a furious backlash from fans, however, and were forced into a climbdown as the proposal was obliterated by football’s governing bodies.
The idea isn’t completely dead however, with Real, Barca and Juve still trying to convince others that ditching UEFA’s premier competition to set up their own closed shop is the way forward. However, English Premier League clubs are set to find it more difficult thanks to a new independent regulator the UK Government is setting up A fan-led review recommended the body be established to provide some checks and balances to the power wielded by the big English clubs.
