Perez's 'Super League' ambition
Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez is plotting a football revolution after calling for Europe's biggest clubs to create a new 'Super League'.

Perez, who returned for a second stint as president of the Spanish giants last month, has embarked on a multi-million spending spree over the past few weeks, signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema as part of his plan to assemble a new generation of galacticos.

The 62-year-old is now casting his net even wider in his bid to alter the face of European football, and has criticised UEFA's handling of the Champions League, indicating that the format of the competition does not benefit the biggest clubs.

"We have to agree a new European Super League which guarantees that the best always play the best - something that does not happen in the Champions League," Perez told Spanish television on Saturday.

Perez added, however, that he hoped his proposed format could be implemented "without abandoning the national leagues".

This comes about every five years or so and after a bit of hullabaloo dies down again.

'Cos everyone with half a brain knows implementing a Super League would crush the small soul left within football.

Never going to happen after the reshaping of the CL to give 'smaller clubs' a greater chance

That change was driven by EUFA.
A Super League would be driven by the big clubs, ie the ones with the one to most gain from it.

The more clubs being owned and run by "money men" the greater the chance that this could happen in the furture.

Didn't they decide this kinda thing would not happen?
The G18 or whatever it was called always threatened to do it, but didnt they have to split?

What's driven by Uefa goes

It'll never happen. They won't be able to keep their respective leagues in play and have their own little shindig.

I am sure they said the same thing when the breakaway league from the old first division was first mooted.
Unfortunately in these times money is talking ever louder

the power was spread thinly back then.

Now there's a greater proportion of clubs with £££ that proportion is only going to increase, thus making it even more difficult to even come into fruition.
