The European Super League is back on the agenda, though many will argue that it has never really gone away.
A22 Sports Management, the company established last year to explore the possibility of a new competition, launched 10 principles on Thursday morning that they believe can set the foundations for a breakaway tournament that will not just put an end to the Champions League but, initially, aim to rival the Premier League.
That comes after Joan Laporta, the Barcelona president, recently said that English clubs would not be involved. Many of Europe’s big guns have become dismayed by the riches of Premier League clubs, who are able to secure the best talent in every transfer window owing to substantially bigger broadcast and commercial incomes.
