This raises another question. 

As part of the BPL, are these teams in a position to negotiate this without their consent. Are the 'rights' to the clubs owned by the BPL?

It would seriously undermine the importance and status of the BPL if it lost its champions league places and it no longer existed. I'm sure they would have alot to say about it.

Correct

But this is being done to counter the success of the premier league , so they don't care what the BPL think

The premier league will not support this competion unless it's formatted to increase or maintain interest in the premier league

But the other big players in Europe want to see the premier league cut down to size a bit , the money we generate is scary , the premiere league winner next season is likely to earn 200% more than the champions league winner !!

That has UEFA petrified

I remember when football was about winning and competing for cups and titles rather than scrapping for better financial packages off the pitch.

Barclays will be gone next season anyway.

I already find the UCL boring, loved it ages ago when teams played home and away in games that were often never to be repeated. Now Man Utd seem to play Barcelona more times than we play local derbies. If this comes in they will completely isolate the majority of football fans and worse than that on this seasons showing they could have the Champions League without the English champions.

The feckers are trying to set up an American system, where by you are "in" no matter what happens a particular year. Just like American football if a team has a bad year their is no relegation. It's a marketing ploy. It won't work because this culture doesn't exist in Europe. Good luck to them, nobody will watch that shite!

It works ok with usa football because the monies from the game split evenly and the worst  teams have the pick of the new players plus the next level down is the university  teams.

There will be no super league and nobody is serious about setting one up. It's a negotiating tactic ahead of the next round of Champion's League tv rights discussions. This story rears its head every time a new tv deal needs negotiating.

Just proves how the sport mafia works in the USA..

If there are any deeper discussions, all American owners of european clubs, should be

made to make a fair play declaration, of no closed shop scenarios.

If Euefa even put in a proposal, I would walk away from proffesional football, unless the PL

stayed away from the idea. I doubt Germany, Holland, even Italian associatiations would join in

with the cranky idea.

This is one example if any official documented is put forward, Then I would love to see social

media through europe, from fans organisations would get together and conter any move.

May or may not happen but previous 'discussions' did not have the same  level of USA  influence.

Reading on Twitter, it makes me laugh with people all for the idea saying the CL is "boring" and "predictable". Clearly having a cup competition with the same teams and players automatically every year will do wonders for mixing things up. Bellends.

And there's loads of foreign Liverpool/Man U fans who think it should happen, too. They're apparently too good to play the likes of Bournemouth. I wonder if they'll change their minds when they're handed their fourth consecutive 5-0 reaming by Barcelona.

I fail to see how a closed shop would be as entertaining in European football. Relegation scraps produce just as incredible results as title challenges. Just look at our 5-3 win over Utd last season, or our, Pompey's, Fulham's and West Brom's great escapes in the past.

Close the shop and it'll be Barcelona finishing 1st in 4 seasons out of every 5 with Fiorentina finishing bottom every year, and nobody giving a damn about the other positions and who fills them. Boring.

Apparently the story is a load of bollocks and they were just discussing an international pre-season tournament.

i think that's more than just a bunch of useless inconsequential sideshows..

 

me reckon they 're planning some kinda breakaway league - kinda like EPL when it started. no more DIV 1 stuff controlled by the FA.
