Those who are heading up this new breakaway tournament have identified ‘fans of the future’ who want to see superstars going head-to-head on a weekly basis, as stated by BBC journalist Dan Roan on Twitter.

Should the ‘super league’ go ahead, the Merseyside outfit will likely see a significant commercial boost, but they’d have to sell their souls first to get onto that lucrative pedestal.
