Matt Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 ...and in direct opposition to the Bury minimum wage claims - here we have an alleged break-away summer super league with a big pay out. Probably won't happen, however with the money they're throwing around something will happen... Qatari royal family to announce plans for competition next month. The Daily Mail today reports that plans are being drawn up for a Gulf ‘Dream Football League’ that will act as a direct competitor to the UEFA Champions League. http://www.caughtoff...ampions-league/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 It's a hoax. Nothing to see here. Sure, but my view here is that it's an interesting situation. A summer league would struggle to work alongside current associations, however they've the money to make things happen. I think it's only a matter of time.

RoytonLatics Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 To be fair I do think its only a matter of time until something like this happens, there's been a mutterings of a European super league for years. The big question is what effect would it have on English football if it went ahead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I remember when I was 11 or 12, (around 1988/89) the "European Super League" and it's inevitability was a regular feature on Saint & greavsie, Football Focus and often took up column space in my weekly 'Shoot!' Magazine. The Champions League and subsequent expansion was seen as a compromise, but with the top clubs ever more cash hungry and vying for valuable TV exposure, this will happen sooner rather than later. I'm just surprised it hasn't already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I would welcome a European superleague. Although I wouldnt know how they would do relegations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
