Set to be announced soon involving six English teams.
Let 'em go and don't have 'em back...nor the players.
The clubs would be fools to break away. The vast amounts of money they'd earn would need to compensate for the income they'd lose being expelled from the football league would entail, not to mention any contractual disputes with cable and satellite broadcasters. Also, what would become of them at the end of the breakaway league deal if the contract wasn't renewed?
If they were expelled from the FL, would six or nine Championship clubs be automatically promoted to replace them, and the same shuffle up in turn happen from each lower division?
Do we know who they are for definite? I'm guessing Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley(?)
Fuckers!
Actually maybe not Burnley.
Spurs are one instead of Burnley I think.
Surely there's some big obstacles to this with the players. If UEFA and FIFA are dead set against it and remain so, they'll disqualify all SuperLeague players from the internationals. And what if they said any player is then disqualified from re-joining the existing leagues if their SL club wants to move them on - a three-year contract not renewed could be the end of their playing career.

Can't believe Juventus wouldn't want to play Burnley every few weeks
That's a really good point reference players' end of contracts - if there's no way back down, they'd be stupid risking it.
But what would be the situation for any player already signed to a SL club who had no knowledge or control over what the club management were planning?
Sports lawyers are going to coin it
Loving the outrage of the PL in this right now, but they have short memories if they don't recall the organisation that ripped the EFL to bits back in 1992. That'd be the PL, then!
The hypocrisy is incredible with Richard Masters going on at length about how those few clubs will be taking so much money from the domestic game, etc., which is exactly what was being said by the EFL 29 years ago. Remembering how sympathetic the PL were to Pompey back in 2010 (not!) they are reaping what they sowed.
Would love it if the PL had the balls to expel these money obsessed spunk trumpets. There must be grounds (however tenuous) within the PL terms of membership.
Don’t usually feel sorry for the fans of big teams, but they are being disrespected big style. Ok, I don’t give a fuck for the Man U or Spuds fans - they can suck on it.
Spurs, the smallest big club in the world. Fact.
reading the details on sky. All clubs are banned from joining any other comp other than those listed. So if the FA/PL stick to their rules, the clubs will immediately be expelled. The players are similarly limited. Its now down to the fans of those clubs. Blackpool fans boycotted home games almost entirely, it would not take long for the likes of Spurs to come crawling back if their own fans were prepared to boycott.
If players chose to compete in a competition such as this would they make themselves ineligible for international duty in the manner of Packer players back in the day with cricket?
and take the time to read the Gary Neville podcast on Sky.
He gets a lot of criticism all over the place, but he is exactly onside with all proper fans who actually follow a club; not foreign TV watchers who turn up once in a lifetime to take selfies.
not a great way for Liverpool to remember their fans that died just a day after the anniversary.
Fark 'em .let them have their Super duper league, but refuse to let them play in any domestic trophies or pick their players for Internationals. This is all about greed and nothing else.
If it ever did happen - and surely its really just some negotiating tactic - Eisner’s just lost a chunk on his valuation of PFC. Maybe it will mark the end of speculators buying into the game.
Not sure what the problem is. It's not replacing anything, just an extra competition. Just don't want to hear the players of those 6 teams complaining they play too many games!
I think the issue is the SL giving a big Duck You to FIFA, UEFA, the FA, and football generally.
As for the valuation of Pompey, if we get involuntarily promoted to fill a void, surely that would increase the club's worth.
If the big six go it opens up the opportunity for a few different clubs to win the Premiership. Let them go.
But say Everton win the Prem, according to their current plan, they then get a Golden ticket invite from EuroBigLeague to join them and four other european league winners, and then what? Slug it out with just those four other clubs because the Franchise-Fifteen are never going to be relegated. Or are they just there for one season anyhow, and all five are replaced? How is that something to aim for?
This small elite group of owners appear to be bending logic in the pursuit of ever-greater personal profit. Sounds sort of familiar...
One obvious downside if they evict the 6 clubs from the Premier league. The vile lot up the road will be even less likely to be relegated in the near future.
Scum not getting relegated is the only drawback, but if the big 5 or 6 leave then they should play no further part in the English set up IMO that would include academies, Youth U21’s the transfer market etc , and player who goes should face the consequences of not playing international football. Let them leave and wallow in their own little euro incestious money grabbing league.
