I have two questions about the Super League plot that has been bubbling under, emerging whenever it is convenient, for about 20 years.
One is: has anyone done any research into whether people want it? The big clubs/organisations aren& #39;t thick: they& #39;ll have worked out that CL games are special because they& #39;re rare. But are they *sure* they& #39;ll still be special if they& #39;re played twice a year?
(On the other hand: maybe this is a generational thing. I don& #39;t know anyone who wants one, but that& #39;s just my late-30s bubble. Maybe there& #39;s loads of younger fans or more international fans or whatever who actually find the idea of a national league a bit restrictive)
And the other question is: these super-clubs think that it& #39;s teams like Burnley and West Brom and Palace who hold domestic leagues back, because nobody wants to watch them. But they know that, after a few years, one of them will end up being that league& #39;s West Brom, don& #39;t they?
It is kind of an unavoidable consequence of having a league that some of the teams end up at the bottom of it. Juventus-PSG sounds glamorous now, but it& #39;s not quite as glamorous when it& #39;s 12th against 15th and there& #39;s nothing to play for.
All of these thoughts and more will be available in tomorrow& #39;s @setpiecemenu, which we recorded this morning and, completely coincidentally, discussed this very idea.
