Summary
Ron Walker is joined by Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol and Rob Dorsett to explain what's different this time, who exactly are the 'A22' group behind the plans and how realistic they are - as well as whether any English clubs could be tempted to get involved again.
Jamie Carragher also gives us his views on why the idea won't get off the ground, and A22 CEO Bernd Reichart tells Sky Sports why he believes the league wouldn't need involvement from all of Europe's biggest clubs to get off the ground.
