So this will work like the EUFA Nations League as in it's an additional competiton rather than a breakaway league? The clubs will still participate in their domestic leagues but are adding more fixtures to their already busy season. Ridiculous idea fuelled by greed.
TBF that is also what the proposed "reforms" to the Champions League do - add extra matches that no-one wants and provide a coefficient safety net for "big" clubs that don't qualify by right. It's not the guaranteed no relegation of the Super League but it's getting closer. I do wonder if the Super League stuff is driven as much to make the Champions League "reforms" look more palatable by contrast as a genuine effort. It's been done before. |

'Super' League.  As if they couldn't make football any worse than it already is. |

I have totally given up any interest in it to be honest, barely watch anything on the TV anymore, don't look at results, or tables. STFC is literally the only football I am interested in, and that's seriously trying the patience, although there is a lot going on at the moment and surely good times are ahead!!  Actually that's kind of lie. I usually chuck a couple of 50p accumulators on over the weekends, but they are mainly from random leagues around Europe! |

Out of interest, why the qualification? He's one of the best sports news reporters we have. |

So Mourinho gets the boot for allegedly refusing to take the players out for training over this.
In the last 24 hours football has sunk 15 pints and taken a bag or 2

Because he has some thing of being a bit of an arsehole to work with, at least in cycling news circles, basically not allowing anyone but him 'break/front' juicy stories after others have done all the leg work.. |

Good to see that some clubs are still acting with dignity in this current kerfuffle.  |

Interesting. I think most "high profile" journos are like that, from experience. |

I imagine they are, much as with any profession. Its all anecdotal TBH, in cycling its more to do with the BBC actually having some pretty good cycling journo's but whenever a 'big' story drops it has his byline on it. |
