I've read some headlines that the UK Government would oppose a Super League.
Do you have any insight in this statement?

Also food for thought, let's say it's full steam ahead and this new league happens, say a team from England, if they were to move to this 'super league' would they have to change anything like their name perhaps?

This seems somewhat similar to how American football teams uproot and change cities, they change their name.

They would still be based in the same place, so why would they need to change name?
Rebranding the clubs would make the new league completely pointless, since it is to be built upon the brands of those clubs.

To be honest I don't know. I was thinking maybe there is some sort of image rights so to speak. Not really sure how it works.

I'm sure the premier league draws a lot of money from the names of the team in its league. I believe hull had to get approval from them to change their name as well.
