Amid the thousands of words in the European Court of Justice ruling, as well as those addressing the immediate relaunch of the European Super League, the only ones that really matter are whether or not the project can go ahead.
The answer is that it remains complicated, and all advantage still lies with Uefa, as well as sporting governing bodies generally. The Super League is still subject to Uefa’s authorisation rules and procedures but those rules have to be much more transparent. On the other side, clubs will also have to be more involved in decision-making. It does create a potential legal grey area. Put bluntly: the Super League would still have to get some form of permission to launch if its clubs want to remain in the existing system, which they have already said they do.
