Not quite so 'Super' League

Refuse to license clubs so they can no longer play in England?

Meaning no other clubs can ever compete with them financially? If it is the case that they would stop any future purchases then surely something has to be done about the current state owned clubs too?

Bolded bit - does sound good but even if the will was there, surely there's no body powerful enough to go up against the people that just bought Newcastle, so you'd think the proposed test would just wave through the ownership of the current/established oil clubs.

Progress?

Liverpool fans group Spirit of Shankly and club owners FSG have reached a landmark agreement
Any future involvement of Liverpool in another version of the European Super League would have to have the agreement of supporters after a 'ground-breaking' deal was reached with club owners Fenway Sports Group.
Spirit of Shankly, the recognised Liverpool supporters union, had a motion passed at their AGM on Saturday morning that recommended the approval of a proposal that would make it a legal requirement for FSG to gain consent from fans should they ever wish to embark on another ESL plot or make moves to take the club away from Anfield.
SOS met with FSG local representatives including Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan in May, weeks after the Reds had played a significant role in the failed attempt to launch a breakaway league with 11 other of Europe's biggest clubs, a move that mobilised fans to display their opposition to the proposals.

It made minimal sense for the PL teams then and it makes even less sense now. Less meaning no in this case. I'm guessing this will just be Juve, Barca and Real Madrid coming up with more ideas that would try to get them back to the top of the roost which should be a non-starter for PL teams.
Might be a bit early now that the next 3 years of TV deals have been secured but I'm actually somewhat surprised that feelers haven't been put out in regards to expanding the PL with a view to the future TV deals. In hindsight Project Big Picture was probably dead on arrival due to needing teams to vote to basically relegate themselves with the reduction to 18 teams. Going the opposite way and expanding it, getting buy-in from the FL by adding more teams there and then the continental teams could be pretty appealing. Probably too radical but you have to keep in mind the PL is competing for TV dollars with UEFA and FIFA to a degree so nothing would be all that surprising if history is anything to go by.
