Crystal Palaceco-owner Josh Harris does not expect the European Super League project to be resurrected.
Earlier this year 12 European clubs, including six from the Premier League, attempted to launch a breakaway Super League.
"The Super League was a situation where a small group of owners forgot that the sport was ultimately designed for the fans around the various national leagues in football and soccer," said Harris, who was speaking at the Financial Times' Business of Sport US Summit.
"I think if people remember why they are in sports, which is for the fans, then it probably won't happen again.
"We were very vocal at the time, and continue to be very vocal. It was designed to permanently install a small number of teams in a league that would have been the dominant league.
"It was a fight over eyeballs, it was a fight over media, it was a fight over media dollars and it was a fight over money.
"So if you would have established this league, the Premier League and all the other national leagues would have been less important and we would have lost media dollars. That would have had the effect of disenfranchising some of the leagues and some of the smaller teams in those leagues.
"We didn't like it. We didn't think it was fair and we want our right to compete. We want our right to go to a UEFA [competition]. If you play really well in the Premier League you get to play in a UEFA [competition].
"The fans and the local markets stood up and got very aggressive. It was over in a week or even less, 72 hours."
