The collapse of Super League was a defining moment for professional football as fans took over the game they loved from indifferent owners.
Since then, any talk of a possible Super League 2.0, especially in England, has been completely dismissed by club owners. Isolating fans too much doesn’t seem risky because it affects their financial situation, which is their main goal.
But financial analyst Kieran Maguire told Football Insider that the “Rogue Six” – Liverpool and Manchester United – were simply playing a waiting game. He said these clubs still want to join Super League but are aware of the consequences of a replay.As a result, they want clubs that publicly support him to join later. Maguire said there would be a “whisper campaign” once the competition restarts without English clubs. English clubs are afraid of missing out.
He said: “If this (Super League) has a significant negative impact on the value of UEFA rights, we will see whisper campaigns from Real Madrid and Barcelona clubs.”Recently, the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, designated a list of clubs interested in entering the Super League. Previous rivals were Real Madrid and Barcelona, who also have strong teams in Serie A.
But there were no English clubs in the competition and without them you’d think the Super League would be less attractive than expected. It is highly likely that both English and Super League clubs will sit back and rely on each other to score the first goal.
