Richard Masters is feeling relaxed ahead of the expected Super League 2.0 launch later today, noting that it previously ‘defeat itself’.
Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Barcelona president Joan Laporta are still spearheading a new Super League project, with the new proposal set to address some of the fans’ previous concerns such as the guaranteed places to the bigger clubs.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Business of Football Summit organised by the Financial Times, Premier League CEO Masters discussed the possibility of a Super League 2.0.
“I am not worried. The other time it lasted 48 hours, it was a badly thought out project and it went ahead. It defeated itself.”
Many fans are concerned about the new proposal, which would likely challenge the Champions League as Europe’s premier club competition. It is expected to be fully revealed later today, when all details will be announced.
It is likely that opposition will be high again, although there’s a chance that the changes could convince fans of the competition, but history is against Agnelli, Laporta and Perez.
