Arsenal boss
Arsene Wenger believes a
European Super League could eventually happen.
The Frenchman believes if a group of club owners get together
and decide they would like a different structure, it could
happen.
“It could happen,” he told the official Arsenal magazine. “It will depend a little
bit on the situation of the big clubs. The television rights are
not the same everywhere at the moment. If it is Real Madrid or Barcelona for example who are forced into a
situation where they have to share their television money with
everyone else, they could find a surge towards some other way of
creating more revenue.
“The danger is also if we have many different billionaire owners
of clubs, who know each other, they could get together and create
their own league. At the moment, the balance between domestic and
Europe is right, but it will be decided by the owners. If these
people regroup, and want to create their own league, how do you
fight against that?
“But as long as you can maintain and interest an audience
domestically, its not in danger. The problem could come when you
have too many rich owners in the same domestic league, and they are
excluded from competing at the top-level in Europe through not
qualifying, they might think ‘is this investment worth it, or do we
have to find another solution?’”
