Jamie Carragher says the Premier League is already the Super League as the new format for a breakaway European tournament was put forward on Thursday. Promoters of the competition, A22, have made some key changes but it isn't likely to make much difference to fans.
The initial announcement back in April 2021 was so out of the blue, poorly planned, thought through and executed by those involved that there is still a sour taste. Even though the new 50-plus team proposal doesn't sound nearly as bad as the original one, it still isn't going to be of serious consideration for the top clubs in England. How can it be?
The Premier League is the dominant league in Europe now. The league is having its very own 1990s Italy and early 2010s Spain moment, but perhaps on another level. As much as there was a merry-go-round of players between the top clubs in those countries it didn't quite border the financial muscle that even mid-tier English sides now have.
