Those clubs, for years, have been at the pinnacle of utterly stupid and reckless behaviour in managing their affairs. Like a drunk at an auction they just carry on regardless. As with all spend, spend, spend scenarios whether it's sport or politics, eventually you run out of other peoples' money.
They now want to double down on this stupidity by creating another layer, a "Super League" another lure for other peoples' money, an elite which they will claim demands higher TV money, more sponsorship money, bigger prizes, higher wages, bigger transfer fees. Not only that, it infers that the current system is not only unsatisfactory but currently beneath them and not suited to their gargantuan loss making regimes and disastrous incompetence.
Can't you just hear the refrain. "He's a "Super League" player, worth half a million a week, if you want to buy him it'll cost you £500 million.
And so the merry-go-round continues for a few more years until they once again run out of other peoples' money.
What's the next, head in the sand, money grab going to be, a "World League?"
At some point they will have to bite the bullet and end the upward spiral of wages and transfer fees or go bust. It's as simple as that.
