It’s Champions League reform.

All of the clubs have said they will continue in their domestic leagues and the format allows for a revolving door of 5 other clubs.

But UEFA have thrown their toys out the pram and kicking them out of everything...even international football...while Gary Neville and Rio stir up emotions of ‘how can they do this during a pandemic’.

Good grief.

Usually with stuff like this all parties realise there’s too much money to be made so compromises are made but I wonder if UEFA have completely lost the battle now with their latest escalation.

Might even see more clubs sign up to it so we end up with 2 Super League division.
I see it as analogous with World Series Cricket back in the 70s. The opportunity exists for the best-supported teams and best players to break away and play for more money and bigger audiences, so they will. Everyone will be up in arms at first, but eventually, the breakaway will become part of the mainstream and things will carry on - albeit subtly changed.
