Seasoned football observers would be forgiven for rolling their eyes at yet another European Super League proposal.

After all, this kind of scheme rears its ugly head every few years when Europe's elite clubs agitate for radical change.

This one, named the European Premier League, apparently has the backing of FIFA and Wall Street financiers JP Morgan to the tune of £4.6billion.

Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly involved in talks for elite clubs to form a highly-lucrative European Premier League competition

The new league, which would also likely feature Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid (pictured) reportedly has FIFA's backing and u00a34.6bn in funds from JP Morgan

The bombshell plans are said to include a dozen or more elite teams in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France with Liverpool and Manchester United among the driving forces.
