Scudamore dismisses European Super League

Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore is not in favor of a breakaway European Super League.

Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore has become the latest to voice his opposition against the idea of a "European Super League" to replace the Champions League.

The idea has been much discussed since it was raised once again by American billionaire Stephen Ross, whose company Relevant Sports runs the preseason International Champions Cup, was reportedly meeting with clubs to hold discussions about a new European competition.

A European Super League would see the world's most popular teams battle it out for a continental crown without the need to qualify through domestic competition.
