English FA opens inquiry into European Super League breakaway

The Premier League says it is tightening up its regulations to stop any future attempt at a breakaway structure.

The English FA has opened an inquiry into the Super League rebellion and sought evidence from the six English clubs involved in the breakaway that could lead to punishments. The Premier League also disclosed on Monday that it had prepared measures to stop teams playing in closed competitions. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham launched an ill-fated attempt last month to found a new European competition with three clubs from each of Spain and Italy.
