Have a Good NEWS

after English clubs were banned from Europe in 1985, the Football League competition created a comfort to them

Have you heard of the English Super League with Liverpool and Manchester United? It may sound like a reminder rib Ian Ayre, has passed. If the big clubs want to form a breakaway competition of their own now 26 years too late. It has already been done.

English football was in the doldrums in 1985. 1966, he became more and more a distant memory, 56 fans died in a fire in the Valley Parade stadium in Bradford City and 39 Juventus fans died in the Heysel disaster when Liverpool fans rioted before the Cup in Europe, which led to UEFA banning all English clubs in Europe for an indefinite period of time. Potentially disastrous financial consequences. After all, it was not a good time to be English.

six clubs, including Liverpool, had qualified for Europe in the 1985-86 season, but the ban has made efforts in the previous season intangible and Everton, who were the champions of League, were denied a place in the European Cup, it means they were dissatisfied with their neighbors Merseyside would be an understatement. Football fans will not be forgotten. I still have not forgiven.

do not worry, though, because the Football League was about to get a brilliant idea: instead of playing European football, instead of the six clubs involved in a super intern named the player as a form of financial compensation and sport. Everton were in the European Cup, Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham qualified for the UEFA Cup for the championship and the League of Norwich as a champion of the Cup, while Manchester United had been in the Cup Winners' Cup "in As winners of the FA Cup.

for Everton, who could have taken in Barcelona, ??Bayern Munich and Juventus, the opportunity to play in the second division Norwich rise was so comforting as a family holiday in a Spanish villa being replaced by a stay through the summer in a cottage in Norfolk. It is surprising that the tournament was abandoned after one year.

The teams were divided into two groups of three on each side of the game twice, before the top two from each group went to a second semi-final stage, followed by a final two floors a useful distraction when the league season consists of 42 games and the FA Cup and League Cup meant something else. Rumor has it that Everton and Liverpool have been left out in the draw, which means that group 1 consists of Everton, United and Norwich and Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham made by Group 2.

However, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Football League First struggled to find a sponsor for your brain waves. "A lack of a better name, because they have yet to find a sponsor, they call the Super League Cup," wrote David Lacey in the Guardian. "A sponsorship agreement with a brewer fell this week as c ' might be better. No doubt, the brewers have acted in good faith, but do you really want to be associated with an event born of a disaster that followed a hard day of drinking water in Brussels? "

a solution has finally arrived, however, when the cable sports channel Screensport agreed to sponsor the tournament, giving it a new name: the Super Screensport, which sounds less like a serious contender among the teams in the country was more like a five-a-side tournament in the former professionals from more than 50 years.

It was not an encouraging start. Screensport channel was launched as an independent in 1984 and was bought by WH Smith in 1987, before finally being renamed the European Network of Sport. The canal was closed permanently hampered by its new owner, Eurosport in 1993, by which time Sky had a stranglehold on English football.

Interest in the tournament was not high, perhaps a result of breathing the League campaign that grows with him, but also because of the darkness that surrounds the game. Clubs have been in conflict with the BBC and ITV on the money - Games left out of the box until the new year - and the threat of a real Super League weighed heavily

.

In fact, the failure of Super capture the imagination is used as an argument for why a Super League could not function. That said, resulted in the same cup full House, designed by the FA so that each club can experience the feeling of the Super essentially a consolation race to lose in a competition of consolation, but that was six years after the competition consolation original was over.

gaming authorities were full of ideas at some point, the negotiations to stop the Super League Super sounds almost replaced by British Cup, a competition for clubs in England and Scotland, but that never happened.

United

Before the opening match of the Super Cup, the chairman Martin Edwards, wrote in his program notes that he hoped that "only last a year" due to the naive belief that UEFA could have lifted the ban on English clubs then. His prediction was correct, but got no points for the job.

United

Ron Atkinson set a frantic pace in the league at the start of the season and would expect to get through their group with Norwich designated whipping boys. But his first game at Old Trafford in September was against the champions, Everton, who presented a check really strong. United, who won their first eight games, beat Everton last season with the FA Cup final bead Norman Whiteside, but the Toffees, seeking revenge, got a little style.

warning signs were there for the competition. Only 33 859 people attended, according to American standards, despite what the Guardian called "a show full of dramatic incidents, skills and subtle half a dozen excellent goals." Four went to Everton, Kevin Sheedy fastest game of the group with a 25-yard screamer. While States had not been demolished, the team Everton and speed still trapped. The difference of eight points between the parties in the league suddenly seemed abnormal.

Three weeks later, however, the group became the head of Norwich won the second race on the same score to put pressure on United. However, due to strange format, two months elapsed between the first match for United and the next. At home against Norwich, has resisted the temptation to Bryan Robson a break after an injury, but Gordon Strachan is necessary to come to the half and won a penalty, converted by Whiteside, after Wayne Biggins gave visitors an early lead.
United

Although United were increasingly listless, the Super Cup was to attract the attention of Norwich, it is necessary only to avoid defeat by two goals in the last game against the The team of Atkinson to qualify for the semifinals. 15,449 fans at Carrow Road to watch Norwich were there to participate effectively reserve with injuries continue to pile up for United, the leader in the First Division was reduced to two points behind Liverpool. Missing eight players to leave Manchester United task has become even more difficult when Jesper Olsen became ill on the team bus.
Norwich, who had lost once in 14 games, took the lead in the ninth minute thanks to Kevin Williams to leave United need to score three unanswered. With 19 minutes, Colin Gibson called, but that was by one point from their four matches, the U.S. went out, not you shed a tear. After all, according to the report published in The Guardian, UK "gave the ball with depressing regularity and lack of inspiration," giving the impression that simply do not care.
