AC Milan, Arsenal FC, Atlético de Madrid, Chelsea FC, FC Barcelona, FC Internazionale Milano, Juventus FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid CF and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs. It is anticipated that a further three clubs will join ahead of the inaugural season, which is intended to commence as soon as practicable.
so which clubs are the most likely to join? i’ve read between the lines and done the hard work, so you don’t have to.
1. missing merseyside
with local rivalries abound in the new super league, liverpool stand out like the terrible defending champion they are. the manchester rivalry is there. the london trio present, the milan twins, the madrid duo. all evidence points to the other big team on merseyside being dragged in. this will bring back competitive derby football to merseyside. as a result, tranmere rovers are a shoe in. their late participation is down to the fact that they aren’t in the premiership, so they didn’t have anyone working on sunday evening.
2. a change of code
a rebuild is on the cards for the most successful nfl frandchise of the last 20 years. the core of the new england patriots all conquering side has moved on or are retiring. align this with most of the states dying due to a botched covid response, could this just be coincidence or are their owners planning a seismic shift to proper football?
3. ronnie o’sullivan
altogether not strictly a football team, or wave a
footballer, with a nickname like “rocket,” rocket fc will be easy to brand. how he will fill all 11 positions at once remains to be seen.[/QUOTE]
