General Football forum • Re: Super League... here we go again
I struggle to see a utopian outcome for those left behind still.Weirdly I was thinking about a super league the other week, probably after we got our points deduction, and started to think how much better football would be if the super league 6/7 buggered off.
Imagine an English top division where it's teams like us and Villa, add in Ranger and Celtic, old giants like Sheffield Wednesday come back in, Sunderland too... Would feel like proper footy again.
Premier league would cease to exist too as they'd lose all their revenue and power, we'd probably go back to it being the first division and run by the FA again.
Obviously money would drop significantly for the remaining clubs, but you'd see far more youth players blooded and developed as a result.
Honestly would like this to happen asap, think it'd actually be a good thing for the English game to reset and bring in Scottish clubs with some old top tier staples back in the top division.
I think it's more likely most half decent players sit on the benches of the Super League clubs, then after that they basically have a B or feeder team either directly or forming partnerships with clubs still in the domestic competitions.
I don't think you can overstate the greed. They'd not just leave the English league alone, they'd want to dominate and win those leagues too, to use them to get their younger players ready for the Super League, etc and they'd have the funds to do so because their revenues would be so much higher than anyone else in the league.
They'd not want to leave any fans (revenue) behind.
