Hopefully that sends the dominos toppling.

I guess but the other teams seemed more involved/committed than Chelsea and City.
Watching the Chelsea stream John Terry has just shown up in his kit.
We know the Glazers are rats. Let's see how quickly they leave the sinking ship.
Imagine having a group of people in which Roman Abramovich is the least bent. Well done to Chelsea if this turns out to be true.
Love it. Sadly I see our beloved club, Perez and Barca holding out in a bunker.....
My only hope here is this thing doesn't crumble so fast no actual change occurs. I want the Government to force through the 50+1 rule.
Obviously don't know how true this is, but it was obviously either going to be them or City. Hopefully, this happens
Well done Chelsea but at the same time feck you, they don't deserve ay praise for pulling out.
They're still complicit, as the rest of them.

This. We're not washing this off. A vile stain on the club.
Hope Old Trafford gets absolutely swarmed by United fans for our next game.
Well done Mr A I think.
That being said, a better version of the CL would be good for top teams and I hope that happens.
I honestly can't believe the fact Chelsea now seem to have higher morals than us. 
Feck these billionaire cnuts
United is leading the whole fecking scheme! Absolutely shameful.
There should be a trial for these cretins. Like with King Charles.
not barcelona, they don't even have a chair on the board
All Utd fans know how good our own Woody is at running our club.Well that project seems to be going down the shitter pretty quickly
Now the whole world can see for themselves as well.
Rumours were they felt pressured to join by the American owners of Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal.

That's multiple sources saying Chelsea are trying to pull out. 
Which only increases the pressure on others to do the same and for those who haven't joined to stay away.
It will only take one or two to pull out for the ESL plans to be scuppered as the finanace behind the league depends on a certain level of involvement from the "major" clubs. There's a reason the were looking for 15 + 5 rather than 10/11 + god knows.

Chelsea bottling it. Hopefully the rest of the owners skulk back under their rocks as this project fails and we can buy the club's off them
It’ll be over by then I think - hopefully Boris continues with fan ownership though.
It’s official. Watching ITV news right now and they have just updated that Chelsea are currently drawing up documents in preparation for their withdrawal
Imagine if this all falls apart, UK gov adds fan ownership rule and it makes Ed's/Glazers' position so untenable that they feck off Not gonna happen but what if
Not gonna happen but what if Of course, if possible, Man city and PSG would gladly reject ESL because it would level the playing field with other teams, providing that they will be rules like salary cap and transfer budget cap like MLS.
Some of you are praising Pep but he did make me laugh.
Pep can say whatever he likes but the real fact is that man city is the only club in EPL which was unaffected by economic problems due to covid.
People are blaming clubs for wanting ESL but some of the blames must be on FIFA and European organizers too.
FIFA awarded World Cup to Russia and Qatar with some shady deals.
And clubs like PSG and Man City are knowingly breaking FFP but where were the punishments?
That’s why these clubs wouldn’t want a league which can level the playing field.
And what’s about players’ wages and Agents fees?
Yes, it is the faults of the clubs to succumb to the demands of players and agents.
With economic downturn, being to be able to meet these demands by players and agents become difficult for clubs.
Yes, players are voicing out their displeasure of ESL but would the players and agents be happy if their wages and fees are cut down by some percentages to help clubs’ finances so that ESL would not happen?
Would they accept salary cap and agent fee cap?
I don’t think so.
That’s why everyone should shoulder the blames instead of hiding behind the glass walls.
In the end, the only losers will be supporters who will have to bear all the cost and consequences.

Jesus if Chelsea drop out first I can see myself actually wanting them to win the CL out of the remaining shower of shit.
I’ve spent the last three days respecting Leeds, James fecking Milner, and now Chelsea.I honestly can't believe the fact Chelsea now seem to have higher morals than us.
and it’s all Man United’s fault ffs
So true, until we have new owners we are stained and deserved to be mocked.
Yeah with the Glazers being vice chairman of this league it suggests they are some of the main instigators of this league. They are going to back it to the bitter end.
We need the all the clubs that my not have had as big a part to pull out and make the ESL much less attractive to them.
Its probably because Chelsea dont really care about money while Glazers will sell their own mother for a dimeI honestly can't believe the fact Chelsea now seem to have higher morals than us.
Or is it a smokescreen to get them all to go home...
I for one think Roman has always been a top top guy.
Absobloodylutely. At least now it is clear to everyone who they are. I wonder if they decide to sell, when ESL is dead.I'm ready to bet though Glazers will still move heaven and earth to push for it to happen if obstacles arose.

Amazing if they really did it
If this collapses he won't dare show his face anywhere near a United game again.
I will be accused of being lazy. I don't suppose you have a template?
If Chelsea and City pull out...
PSG definitely won't be tempted until after the WC...
Dortmund and Bayern ruled out for good because of their ownership model...
Sevilla and Porto both said no...
Where else do you turn to build a 20 team """SUPER""" league? Ajax won't entertain it for a second.

But they still went along with it and only said no because of the mass protest. Well done for leaving but feck them for joining in the first place.
I get this, but on the flipside I think its at least mildly brave for them to be the first to pull out.
The rest of the clubs that now follow suit, are just rats leaving a sinking ship and should be treated as such.
Impressive that they beat Spurs to it, really.
