I don't quite understand your suggestion?
Expel those clubs and they will undoubtedly form this league. Ban them and their players and staff from all other football then they might think twice. The Premier League works well imo and teams can be promoted to it and relegated from it so a team like Bournemouth can aspire to play at the top level.

More from Sean Ingle, our chief sports reporter
“The other thing that’s being stressed to me in private is that not all the 12 breakaway clubs are 100% behind going off on their own. While there are certainly several fanatical believers in a closed league, it is suggested that others have jumped expecting a better deal either through the ESL or via Uefa concessions. Some of the 12, it is even said, want to see it fail but feel they have to be on the bus. Admittedly that is coming from those opposed to the deal, but still.”
There is a lot of posturing and there is no doubt that clubs are going along at the moment for fear of being left behind - and right now there is a lot of reaction headlines , Sky are loving this right now as well and would be balls deep “if” this did start -
It’s the same when the Rugby Clubs looked at revamping the European Cup
In other news - Mourinho sacked ??

Sounds like spurs have sacked Jose, rumours he refused to take the players out to train over the super league to be confirmed

If it’s true Jose has been sacked over his stance towards the super league then good on him, just let’s hope the other 5 have a spine, some integrity and follow his lead.

Very clever by Jose IMO. The way this season has gone he knows that he's likely to have been shown the door at the end of the season anyway so he's used this as an opportunity to leave claiming he was trying to stand up for football's traditions. Leaves with more of his reputation in tact and people respect him for it.
Also, if anything sums up the way owners think about supporters it is this quote....
some of those involved in ESL call traditional supporters of clubs “legacy fans” while they are focused instead on the “fans of the future” who want superstar names

Cynic in me says he's got himself sacked before the 'no top four and no trophy' clause comes in and reduces his pay-off substantially. This is José and you wouldn't put it past him.

Sacked in the week before a cup final?! Either a masterstroke or a disaster stroke in order to win a trophy!

Of course that could be correct, but I don’t think he’d of done it just before a Final, the cynic in me says he’d of wanted to win that so when he was sacked at the end of the season he’d claim he was bemused after being a success.?

There may be clauses for both not getting top four and not getting a trophy. Obviously we'll be getting stuffed in the final so not in his interest to play it out.Of course that could be correct, but I don’t think he’d of done it just before a Final, the cynic in me says he’d of wanted to win that so when he was sacked at the end of the season he’d claim he was bemused after being a success.?

This Super League business; reminds me of Mr Creosote in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. "Just one more wafer sir....".

How can you fire Mourinho the day after he secured a place in the new European Super League?

Re. The big clubs,
My worry us that UEFA will just modify the CL to suit the big clubs and both the EPL and CL will be ruined as any sort of competitive event with the existing financial hegmony being fossilised for all time.
UEFA and the PL should just not blink, I think the clubs are overplaying their hand.

Sadly it seems Mourinhos sacking was purely football related, lost the dressing room etc. Talk it will cost £15m for him to be moved on this time
Wonder how this impacts where Kane is playing next season
Who do you want next Spurs fans?

Suspect he will get a bit extra to sign a gagging order. Last thing that they want is a loose cannon who likes to use the press like Jose does being able to provide the inside story on the new Super League.

The Oddschecker list suggests nobody has a clue. Ryan Mason is in at 20/1! Stevie Gerrard at 18/1 - can't see that happening at all. Favourite is Nagelsmann, I don't know anything about him as I don't watch German football. Rodgers is 6/1, would like that but can't see him leaving Leicester for us, he'd be mad. Nuno and Scott Parker are both 12/1 - would take Nuno but Parker?? Surely not.

Cannot see this changing the fact that it's highly likely that Kane will leave at the end of this season. At his age time is running out and he wants that one big move to a club that'll be more competitive, from a financial pov Levy will want a load of cash and this is probably his last chance to command the sort of fees that he wants. I think the problem will be where he goes. Financially it's likely that City and United are the two that can afford the money that Levy would want however would he sell to a rival? If City got Spurs I think that'd be the league done for the next however many seasons, how would you compete with that sort of squad and a goalscorer like Kane?! Barca and Real will be mentioned but there is the issue of whether they can afford the fee.

Agree with that, Levy has always said he wont let him join another English club but outside that can only see PSG as an option IF they were to lose Mbappe this summer I guess and link up with Pochetino. I guess where Haaland goes may have an impact too on potential destinations
