European breakaway league: Is football about to change forever?

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35707372

According to The Sun, which broke the story, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were there to resurrect an idea we have seen mooted in the past - a European super league.

This time, the talks were with American billionaire Stephen Ross.

It would be a new, invite-only competition that would see the biggest English clubs partner with their continental counterparts.

Such a move would mean the end of the Champions League and pose a huge threat to both the Premier League and Uefa, which governs European football.
