Here is a curious turn of events -the proposal to create a European Super League of football clubs has provoked this response from the UK Govt-
"The culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, has pledged that the government will do “whatever it takes” to stop English football clubs joining a breakaway European Super League (https://www.theguardian.com/football/european-super-league) (ESL) and announced a wider review into the governance of the sport."

So let's get this straight -a Conservative Govt that one assumes is committed to maintan the role of Markets in the economy, is opposed to market forces in football? Or could it be, that with its policies of social control during the Covid Pandemic, the virtual takeover of the economy by Central Govt, and now the opposition to the ESL, we have a Communist Govt, and Boris Johnson -who declared last year 'I am not a Communist! -is in fact the UK's first Communist Prime Minister?
The owners of the ESL clubs want what America has got -a self-perpetuating money-making machine. Football, as a game played by millions, is of secondary interest. And is it a fact that markets always win in the end?
But without the Germans, can the ESL survive? And does Tottenham Hotspur deserve to be in the ESL?
