Reports emerge of British Super League: how it would impact Leicester

Reports have emerged on Thursday morning of a potential British Super League in the wake of the ESL’s failure. How may it impact Leicester City?

While all fans are happy the European Super League died a death, a new threat in the form the British Super League appears. Unfortunately it seems plans to disrupt either European competition or the Premier League are still in place under the guise of a new idea.

No one expected the ESL to fail by Tuesday and be given a kind of reincarnation on Thursday. Yet it was reported that renowned Scottish clubs Rangers and Celtic, both of Glasgow, may join fresh proposals in the United Kingdom. I can remember this actually being talked about in the 1990s, incidentally.

Following most owners of supposed ‘Big Six’ clubs – Manchester United and Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur along with Liverpool – being ethically forced into giving disingenuous apologies, timing for a BSL might the worst in sports administration history. Which is a particularly negative feat in itself.

This new initiation probably won’t incite quite as much visceral disapproval as the formerly mentioned disaster. Though supporters are likely to rally wonderfully once more if their teams or English football is affected – regardless of which level of the game is adversely impacted!

According to The Sun’s ‘exclusive’, the richest sides in the EPL still wish for reform of the current top-flight. The outlet claim “FIFA, UEFA and the UK Government” will potentially back plans.

Apparently Celtic and Rangers, as organisations, would be delighted at the opportunity to join the EPL. Ironic as that is. However, their fan bases may not be as easy to convince, especially as their away games would be in a different country each fortnight.

For Leicester City, this could mean a top four playoff; not to mention the division possibly cutting teams from 20 to 18. Naturally many people believe the ‘Other 14’ existing premiership sides will oppose these changes, too.
