Is the plan for the European Super League to begin next season? (i.e. this year)

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Take away the constant reminder of our need to find a home of our own and the concern over making ends meet, then the Withdean years look truly golden... even now.

Government is apparently making a call to UEFA and seeing what powers they have in stopping this.

Boris isn't working out which way the crowd are running then getting to the front to claim that he's leading them is he?
The plan is "as soon as possible" but I really cant see it happening this year.

Not even hindsight. My wife was working in India for two months right at the end of the 1997 season, thereby leaving the way clear for me to attend most matches. I remember speaking to her on the phone and saying how bizarre it was that we were at the arse end of the league, fighting for our lives and yet I had never enjoyed following the club as much. Even in the midst of all the mayhem, I appreciated how seismic it all was and felt thrilled to be a part of it.

Presumably they've not been offered the right share packages yet...
Mourinho sacked.
Some on Twitter claiming that it's because he refused to take training this morning over the ESL situation.
Probably 2 + 2 = 5, but there we go.

Bet the big 6 managers are really looking forward to their pre- and post-match interviews this week.
First up Klopp tonight then Tuchel tomorrow, a couple of Germans who may be torn by their countryfolk's determination to resist the idea.
Then Pep goes on Wednesday, a Barca hero who usually has a measured tone. Jose might be disappointed he doesn't now get to vent on the same night, having made his name with Porto in the champions league.
Mikel Arteta will know what side his bread is buttered on Friday night, whilst Ole gets time to consider his response (learn the lines his boss gives him) before United's next game on Sunday.
Will there be a hint or two of displeasure or a thorough chorus of 'above my pay grade' type platitudes. Expect lots of 'Premier League is world's greatest competition'- type remarks

Disappointingly, the BBC are reporting he's been sacked for boring football and dressing room related reasons.

How unsurprising that major players seem to be American financiers. Man United, Arsenal and Liverpool's owners, JP Morgan, AC Milan's owners. All of them after the cartel protection that they would enjoy in MLB or NFL. Those that pretend belief in the power of the market and the sanctity of competition once again only interested in protecting opportunity for competition if they are outside looking in, not inside building a wall of protectionism. Despicable cultural leeches: whether it be sport, television, music, information technology, film, theatre, they are modern day Midas's trying to turn everything they touch into gold, without a care that doing so kills it.

Insider on SSN claimed that these clubs would play a weakened side in the PL (provided they’re allowed to stay) and save their best players for the ESL in midweek, which would become their priority.
Interesting to see how teams like Arsenal would manage if this were the case, they’re struggling in the league as it is. If they played a second string team in the PL and got relegated, would they have a Championship team in the ESL?

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
So, Americans want to ruin our soccer in the manner of NFL, Barca and Real are broke and desperate for more money any way they can grab it, some "famous" English clubs that haven't won shit for decades want to tailgate along. And all because football (and gambling) is huge in Asia (60% of the world's population). What an absolute mess.
We’ll think about it, if all these super teams get 3 billion extra for wages and transfers they could easily field 2 quality teams. Forget the Arsenal of now, it could be like having 6 Man City’s.
