I suspect the so called big 6 will regret not trying to bring us in to their fold. They could probably bully other clubs but not us!
A breakaway league would be a non starter I think. The FA would simply ban any competing clubs from European competitions, and any players would lose their right to be picked for Internationals, for any country. It was tried in cricket with the Kerry Packer experiment. It failed.
Fifa and UEFA would back the FA. Why wouldn’t they “dare” to protect their interests. The over inflated self importance of some so called big clubs would be exposed to the reality that the FA can pull their plug out quite easily.

Too may people see them as the crown jewels of English football and there is too much money involved and there would be too many expensive lawyers involved. But as I said it's academic as it will never happen.

A super league would kill the Champions league and Europa stone dead. There isn't a chance UEFA nor FIFA or indeed any domestic FA would stand for their cash-cows being milked by other farmers.Its as pie in the sky as the Scottish clubs joining the premier league, which used to be touted annually right up until a few years ago.
