Despite massive numbers in revenues💰💱 Football clubs are so bloated, the top guys feel they need more!

For long term planning, they need control of the rules of competition too.

The huge swathes of capital hoarded by the investment banks/rich are willing to fund this new comp

The #PremierLeague will end up a place for the 'Elite' teams in the new #EuropeanSuperLeague to play their so called reserve squads - Because the rewards on offer merit that.

That said, with the huge revenues they will dominate, those reserve squads will still be the best ⚽️🤯💁

Who is going to stop 'Project Super League' though?

Is it inevitable now? (They had a few false dawn announcements so far)

Will it be bad for supporters?

How will the the teams not involved 'Evolve'?!

The ownership of x3 Clubs supposedly driving this #ManchesterUnited #ACMilan #RealMadrid potentially tells a story too!

-UTD (Glazers/Leveraged Bank Debt)
-AC (Elliot/Singer/Vulture Capital)
-Real (Perez/Banks/Socio-Political influence in Spain)

Domination of revenue streams

The traditional #Oligarchy of #Football getting scared of the new kids on the block with different/seemingly unlimited funding

- Man City (Abu Dhabi)
- PSG (Qatar)
- Chelsea (Abramovich)
- Everton?! (Moshiri/Usmanov?!)
