Paddy Power have released several specials relating to the proposed European Super League.
Plans are in place for six of the Premier League’s biggest and richest clubs to break away and form a new division alongside Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, where they would battle it out in what will in the end become a 20-team league without any promotion or relegation, replacing their current commitments in either the Champions or Europa League.
Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool have all agreed to participate in the Super League, which would see each club receive an additional £300million per year. It is a farcical concept and one powered by nothing but greed, which will have damning repercussions for the sport as a whole if it is introduced.
Players who play in the proposed ESL could also be banned from representing their country’s at future international tournaments - potentially even as early as Euro 2021 - which kick's off in June. While as of yet there are no official dates on when the ESL would start, reports in the media have suggested that it could be from next season, something that has prompted bookmaker Paddy Power to release odds on next season’s Premier League - which could well feature none of the current 'Big Six' if they are expelled from the division due to joining the ESL.
The Irish firm are offering odds of 12/1 for Leicester to win the top-flight next season, or 14/1 for either West Ham or Everton to do so. Leeds are a 20/1 shot in the market. They have also priced up Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal not to play a single Premier League match in 2020-21 at just 4/1, alongside the six aforementioned sides to play a European Super League match before the year 2025 (17/10).
BetVictor have also got in on the act, offering odds on whether or not the ESL will have started before the year 2023. Yes is 4/7 (an implied 63% chance), while No is 5/4 (and implied 44% chance).
You can find all of the specials below.
