So it looks as if this midweek league will be made up of 20 teams 15 'founder members' who it reads as if will be permanent and 5 places each year available for qualification.  The 15 founder members will get a share of £3.5 BILLION initially with a further £!.5 Billion for the running of the League and a share for the other 5.  These 6 already have a financial advantage over most other clubs in the Prem putting them in a 'financial' league of their own, which already makes them virtually untouchable.  What will another half a billion make them?  How does that sit with the Financial Fair Play Rules?  What effect will this have on disrupting mid-week games for the rest of the FA?

The questions go on and on but one interesting one is, is it just coincidence that Jose gets sacked the day after it is announced Spurs have signed up for the league, they are only sitting 2 places away from the Champions league with other clubs potentially qualifying by other routes?  Not to mention the League Cup final coming very shortly makes no sense.

apparently Jose refused to take training this morning looks like a kind of protest against this super league and spurs involvement in it
if thats the case then well done Jose

I would be surprised if that is all there is to it, is refusing to take a training session a sacking offence? You would assume no one involved in the day to day running at the club would have the authority to sack the manager, without referral back to the higher ups. It all seems a bit quick, I don't know what time training sessions start but the news was out around 10:00 am so for him to refuse, that to get reported back to the immediate management, them to send it to the higher ups. Then an investigation, as to what happened, a decision by the higher up made, then that decision to be sent to the lawyers for comment, then the decision implemented and Jose sacked, all before morning coffee seems a bit to efficient to me, but who knows certainly not me
