ESL…what were you thinking! Some of the legal issues…and more…

There are a few things in the UK, that really cause a sharp intake of breath…a shake of the head…and an argument from generally phlegmatic people. Things such as should the milk go into the cup before or after you pour the tea? Should you put the clotted cream on first on a scone or should you instead put the jam on first? On Sunday 18th of April this year, a new subject was added that united a country in a way not seen since…well…I don’t know when. It brought together the great and the good, working people and the heir to the Crown, right and left-wing politicians and all in between and raised the level of vitriolic language and anger throughout the country, not seen since Brexit…all seemingly in one voice of condemnation. I am of course referring to the then proposed creation of the European Super League (ESL) by twelve football clubs, six English Premier League clubs, three Spanish La Liga clubs and three Italian Serie A clubs. As a quick note to our American readers, football here refers to what you would call soccer…but the rest of the world calls…football!
