The establishment of a European Super League would likely see the introduction of a American style franchise system, that would almost certainly be the appeal for a lot of the owners who will suddenly find themselves the owners of a very rare commodity; A European football franchise. This would mean no relegation (which would have been tricky to manage anyway).

The benefits could mean a introduction of a wage cap, as all new members of the super league would agree to this and there would be little danger of their players been poached. You could have a draft system similar to the NFL where the choice players from the domestic leagues can sign up to the Super league, more evenly distributing the best players across the league - you also enforce some sort of system where the clubs get priority for players from the same nation.

I think you would need to make it 16 teams, removing some games from the calendar to allow for travel and find time for domestic cup competitions and international games.

It could work.
