New governing body, fan revolts, media outrage etc etc all looks like they are stopping a super league however everyone has blinkers on if they believe any of it.
There will probably not be a competition called the ESL, however the usual suspects have uefa over a barrel with their financial draw so will simply influence and demand 'evolution' of the CL to achieve their aim. Little adjustments over time get them there (the tournament is already unrecognisable from the European Cup, no one would have believed this is what it would become if you told them in 1990).
A fundamental problem for the English 'big 6' is that 2 of them (minimum) have to miss out on CL each year. They have been sharing that out between MU, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea recently but now looking like RS may need to take a year off. Let's see how we'll that goes down and if that correlates with more 'evolution' to avoid it happening again.
