The possibility of a league constituted by the biggest football clubs of Europe has already been mentioned time and time again. Now the theme is left after the latest revelations of "Football Leaks". They received emails sent to other Bayern Munich.
The e-mail contains a draft agreement for members of a possible super-like. The league would include Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool, AC Milan as a "football league". permanent team, while Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, Inter and Roma wanted to got the status "guests".
VG is the only Norwegian means of communication to access documents through the European Investigative Collaboration (EIC). The legend of Norwegian coach Nils Arne Eggen is a bit positive for a superlative of the kind proposed in the papers.
– Then they will meet at the door. Free capitalism will dominate the sport. It is a development without hope. They are already taking the cake champion and want more, says Eggen.

– Unlike the nature of football
Aftenposten footballer Lars Tjærnås shares Egg's skepticism.
– I have very bad taste in the mouth of this proposal. The main reason is that this is contrary to the nature of football. It is a concept where the richest and the greatest invite each other and exclude others. This is the football version of a place where a doorman moves among the prettiest and richest and asks others to turn the door, "says Tjærnås.
If the proposal had become reality, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea would play their games outside the Premier League. Then there were raids at Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, instead of going to a stadium such as Goodison Park from Everton to Liverpool.
"It's so stupid that I can not say anything about it." "It's about belonging to a club, as in England," Eggen said.
Tjærnås also believes that it is important that football does not lose its local membership.
"The great popularity of football is that it is" of the people, with the people and for the people. "This means that one should never lose value, Manchester City traveling to Huddersfield, Barcelona in Huesca and Juventus in Chievo with its biggest stars, in a category of what is most important to them and to the spectators.

Think the Super League is illogical
The league proposed in the documents will not mean a relegation for the 11 regular teams.
Lars Sivertsen covered the Premier League for TV 2 for several years. Now he is a writer on football full time. He thinks that the proposal goes against the essence of football.
– The teams will meet to see who is the best. You have a structure with national leagues. If you do well, you can play internationally, for example in the Champions League. It's a logical pyramid, says Sivertsen.
It is not sure of the value that a superlike would have been sporty.
– If you win your national league, you will become Spanish or English champion. Then you are champion of Europe if you win the Champions League. In a sense, you have not won anything if you win the Super League. You become a marketing champion.
"The idea that the richest will have to create their own league because they can earn more money is very dark," Sivertsen said.
Fearing the consequences
The emails mentioned were only suggestions sent to clubs. This is the German newspaper Der Spiegel who first consulted the documents relating to "Football Leaks".
"Bayern Munich knows neither the existence nor the content of the draft agreement you are referring to," writes Bayern Munich to VG and Der Spiegel.
The newspapers also write that the director of the PSG club, Jeun-Claude Blanc, does not know the draft. The director of Borussia Dortmund, Hans-Joachim Watzke, will not comment on the document in question. He believes, however, that several European clubs are working on a super league, saying it all depends on whether such a league will replace or supplement the national leagues.
"As long as I'm in charge here, we are not leaving the Bundesliga," he said.
Lars Tjærnås fears the consequences if the league in e-mails becomes a reality.
"This will lead to even greater divisions and polarization in European football, where the distance between the biggest and the second largest is already bigger than I want – and growing. a lot of charm for me if we exclude the possibility of an outsider to realize his dreams.
