Interview Special: Jonathan Johnson, CBS Sports

All Villa No Filler - An Aston Villa Podcast

This week saw one of the most shocking 48 hours in football history as the Premier League's so-called 'Big Six' signed-up to a new 'Super League' alongside European heavyweights including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

Almost immediately there was heavy opposition to the Super League from fans, European governments, German football clubs, non 'Big Six' Premier League clubs, British Royals, UEFA, FIFA and more. The scale of anger led to a majority of the clubs who had signed up to withdraw from the Super League within 48 hours of it being officially announced.

In an interview special, we spoke to CBS Sports reporter and Aston Villa fan Jonathan Johnson about how the Super League collapsed and what it could have meant for Villa if the plans had succeeded. We also looked at the new rules for the Champion League, which include qualification based on historical performance, and whether they might affect Villa should they ever finish in the top four of the Premier League.
