403: The proponents of the European Football Super League have switched from a proposal suggesting that permanent members self-govern their (almost) closed competition to a proposal maintaining the concept of self-governance by the participating clubs but now advocating participation on the basis of sporting merit. Can self-governance be realistically introduced at the top of the football pyramid without closing this top? The paper explains why this is not the case and how the new proposal is a closed league in disguise, which is likely to trigger the same value creation problems as an openly closed league: Egon Franck
