Champions League new rules will have major effect on Liverpool

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group could get some of what they had hoped to achieve through the European Super League plot after controversial Champions League reforms reportedly returned to the table.

FSG were one of the 12 clubs to attempt to launch the breakaway ESL last year, six of which came from the Premier League. But all six renounced their involvement in the project within 48 hours of its launch, with Liverpool principal owner John Henry recording a video apology to fans over the plans.

Since then the Reds have made their stance clear with regards to the potential of another super league move at some stage in the future, maintaining that they have ended their intentions and nothing has changed, despite the continued efforts of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus in the courts to try and make sure that the path is clear for such a competition to rise unchallenged in the future.
