(The Guardian) The Leicester manager, Brendan Rodgers, believes that the Foxes’ recent success has perhaps helped accelerate plans for the European Super League. Here’s what he had to say before his side’s match against West Brom on Thursday: We understand now as much as any time that football is moving from sport to business but we must never lose the fact that it is a game for the fans and players. It’s for every supporter. The game is for the supporters and I think there’s been a line drawn in the sand with all of this and it’s been moved across to what looks like a purely business proposal. It looks like [sporting meritocracy] isn’t really taken into the ideas going forward. We see the evolution of the game. Teams that progress and develop [like Leicester]. That’s the beauty of the Premier League. The top six teams’ success is rooted in the other sides in the league. [Leicester’s success] has probably played a part in these developments. Our job was to disrupt the market. I always said ‘what defines the top six?’ Clearly it was money and I tried to disrupt that on the pitch.
