It’s been a little while since there was any news about the proposed European Super League, though with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus still apparently in it, there was always a chance it would be repackaged and brought to the table once again.
That time appears to have arrived with the news that German business magazine, Wirtschaftswoche, has acquired a confidential document which details how a new Super League could still work.
Although many of the original clubs approached decided to bail out once the news became public, this was only as a result of the wave of public opinion being against it and various supporter demonstrations.
