Excellent power play by the elite, who will succeed in probably what they wanted all along and get fantastic ‘compromise’ terms which was probably their move all along. They have played UEFA and FIFA beautifully I suspect. They have shown their teeth and I suspect this move will get them what they want.

I think they caved too soon. Should have held out a week longer and in a joint statement disband. This looks weak with them dropping out cos of fear

Jim White just said they’ve just boarded a plane and they’re on the way. Here we go!

Seems like everyone throwing their toys out of the pram kicking and screaming worked. Yet they’ll fail to see the hypocrisy of the current UEFA monopoly.

Just how many steel chairs did Florentino eat from yesterday to today? Not enough, I say.

If you think Manchester United have withdrawn because of Harry McGuire's reaction then I pity you :lol:

Not a chance.

They've suffered massive damage from this. The Super League plans we know they've been working on for years have now been stymied, they've suffered massive reputational damage, they've burned bridges with both UEFA and other clubs and they've guaranteed measures will be put in place to prevent something like this happening again.

I get people think it's clever to suggest it was all a ploy that they are clever enough to see through but there comes a point where cynicism is just delusion and conspiracy theorising.

There's no 4D chess here. These clubs have done damage to themselves by botching an attempt at creating a Super League. It's as straightforward as that.

of course not but isn't it nice to believe we have players that stand for something and aren't just lemmings collecting a pay check

Fecking well done Shaw and Maguire :keano:
We mock him but Maguire has never felt as much as a leader if that's true. Good to see Shaw as another leader. Bruno, Pogba, Cavani, Rashford... I feel like we have some good leadership in that team.

The fans support the embodiment of the club, which is the players. To know that they stood up and reflected our feelings against the very people we oppose, is just a very heartwarming feeling.

Nice to hear our players have more morals than our owners. Of course we have to wait until Friday to announce our withdrawal, just like our transfers we have to drag it out.
