There's no way UEFA/FIFA or the national football association will stand a chance in court to disallow this "Super League", they don't have the sole right to organize football events, there's clear precedent with cases in other sports. The real question has been and still is: is there a market for this? 25 years ago, maybe not, but we've seen how the UEFA has kept these clubs happy by giving more guaranteed Champions' League group phase slots to the big leagues and more money to keep them inside their brand.

And we also know they'll need that money, none of those "super" clubs have a healthy bank balance.
