Brighton manager Potter wary of Super League revival

Brighton manager Graham Potter says clubs must remain vigilant if they want to prevent another breakaway competition.

The European Super League - which involved six Premier League clubs - collapsed just 48 hours after its conception this week.

Potter said: "I think we have to remain vigilant because whilst you have got each of these clubs, they are private companies, with billionaire investors that may not be worrying about how much responsibility they have for the football pyramid.

"They may just be worried about the share prices and the performance of the company.

"So, we have to keep focused, keep reminding people of how important it is for competition to exist, that consequences exist and you can't create franchise systems in European football. "It goes against everything we have stood for 150 years and whilst it might work in other countries I don't think it works over here."
