15 clubs are reportedly in talks to launch a European Super League by the 2023-24 season, sources told ESPN.

The new league will be backed by $6 billion in funding.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are among Premier League clubs to sign up for the plan.

The Super League will consist of 15 permanent teams who can never get relegated, along with five rotating clubs.

The current 15 teams feature six from the Premier League, three from La Liga and Serie A, two from the Bundesliga, and one from Ligue 1.

The CBS Sports article says says PSG, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund are NOT a part of this proposed league.

UEFA is flipping out right now, threatening to ban teams from Champions League and apparently FIFA is backing them with potential World Cup ineligibility (for now).

I take it you don’t like Arsenal leaving the Premier League?

Also the rights fees for the Premier League are going WAY down now.

I'm angry/sad about it. Wenger warned about this happening 3-4 years ago already. I always thought it was merely posturing for better money in current framework.

We'll see how it plays out. Maybe it will help be kick my addiction of watching football. :lol:
