Sport Express – Fans will fight zombie super league 

The “walking corpse” European Super League has been slammed for ignoring fans once again by the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA).

Fresh plans for the Super League have this morning (February 9) been outlined by the company behind the competition, A22 Sports Management. Their CEO Bernd Reichart revealed to the media at a London hotel it could contain up to 80 teams and have multiple divisions.

His comments have been met with outrage by FSA chief executive Kevin Miles, who issued a statement which read: “The walking corpse that is the European Super League twitches again with all the self-awareness one associates with a zombie.

“Their newest idea is to have an ‘open competition’ rather than the closed shop they originally proposed that led to huge fan protests. Of course an open competition for Europe’s top clubs already exists – it’s called the Champions League.
