I doubt any of the big clubs in Europe genuinely want to be part of it but, the notion of a break away European league has proved useful for clubs trying to negotiate a bigger piece of the monetary pie in their respective leagues.

The champions league could then showcase the best of the rest (with the winner being promoted to said super league). Then they could get rid of the UEFA cup.

I too enjoy the knock out phase more than the group stage, but, if there is one thing that European football has done well, is lead the entire world on how the competitions must evolve and adapt, and i am kind of curious of what is going to be the next step, its probably not going to be the superleague (after reading LEECIF's link) but then, what is it going to be? to: Paul Bestall.

The Domestic leagues while hurt by the loss of the big teams especially when it comes to income would be wide open where just about any team can come up and win instead of the same 4 teams or so winning the league. I do wonder how it would play out in terms of having traveling fans. Would fans make travel plans to Germany for an away tie or would they just choose to stay home and watch the game from the comfort of their own couch on the weekends. The idea of a Super League does intrigue me because how egos of top clubs and players who are used to winning all the time would be bruised when an invariably dip in form happens and a relegation battle occurs.
