Interesting approach by the club!

I strongly suspect that the Principle Funder is not behind this and we are seeing the new owners at work.

Let the so called big 6 get on with it, its doomed for failure.  With no relagation or promotion there is no interest.  Imagine half way though the Super League season 4th from bottom plays third from bottom, in any other league this would be an attractive game, commentators would call it a 6 pointer, is this Super League it will be a dead rubber, who would pay to watch a nothing meaningless game!

How can it be a Super League without Gernan and French clubs ?   You can tell its an American idea, bit like Baseball call it the 'World Series'.

Such a clever piece of marketing and they’re not even the owners yet. Nice to see us doing something proactive!

Clubs will continue to compete in their national leagues.



I think the Premier League have threatened expulsion, lets hope they have the nuts to carry the threat through.
Football will be a better place without the so called big 6.

To be honest its called the World Series as it was originally set up and sponsored as such by The World or maybe Daily World newspaper in America. I used to think the exact same thing as you till a few years ago

With the ESL and new CL structure proposed, where 24 teams out of leagues of 32 can progress, there be a club success co-efficient.   Do you think that a co-efficient can be devised whereby we can join?

It's certanly open up the Premier League title to a number of, shall we say, "less fashionable" clubs.

Only twice in its "near" 30 year history has the title not been won by one of the "so called" Big 6.

Yeah and it’s never been won by one of them. Strong case for replacing Tottenham with Blackburn I reckon.

I think the premiere league should come out and say you play in our league or the European one not both.

Promote six clubs from the championship and no relegation. That will get the numbers right

That will have a knock on effect so L1 and 2 will have no relegation this season either.

More teams to be promoted than usual and no teams relegated.

It's a win win situation.

I am not saying this.Just because it will save us I am thinking of the greater good.
