Seems like it's all falling apart, unfortunately our name will be tarnished forever now.

Great protest by Chelsea fans. Leading by example. Hang in there lads. Lets forget our differences and stand together.

We aren’t pulling out we’re in too deep

The blame will be on our shoulders for all this and rightly so. One could hope that this could finally see the glazers fecking off though.

All this was 100% a power play to negotiate with UEFA so Chelsea and co pulling out is a bit stupid on their part. UEFA would have bent over for them after another week or so

I wonder if they genuinely thought the fans of the 12 clubs would be on board for it? I'm sure they predicted everyone else would rage about it but perhaps the reaction of the club's own fans surprised them

It's quite bizarre to see people react so positively to this latest Chelsea nonsense and take every bit of news about this literally, getting emotional and not thinking for two seconds.

This Super League was extremely unlikely to happen, at least in the coming two years. Which was blatantly obvious given how amateurish the news was brought into the world, how unprepared everyone involved is at the moment, other than a cheap website there was no infrastructure in place at all. Obviously a club like Chelsea knows this so they can now act like they're taking the moral highground after joining the plan first to put pressure on UEFA - they're a scummy club who owe their success to the ridiculous spending of a shady Russian billionaire. And distgustingly people on here are celebrating this and lapping it up like a bunch of sheep.

The whole Super League is more of a threat and a negotiation position than anything by the big clubs involved. Throw out a generic press release and an amateurish website in the week UEFA is introducing their new CL set-up, create a meda shit storm.

In the meanwhile the UEFA is now being forced to create a lot more funds for the new CL, there's talks of finding investment parters to pump 6-7 billion into the new Champions League.

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2...-2bn-deal-with-centricus-to-halt-super-league

"UEFA is in discussions with Centricus Asset Management over a 6 billion-euro ($7.2 billion) financing package to overhaul its flagship soccer tournament and stop plans for a new breakaway Super League, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Switzerland-based sporting body is working with Centricus on a plan to fund a new-look UEFA Champions League tournament, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information."
I wouldn't be surprised if these clubs get a big share of the new pie from UEFA after all of this. After all, that's what they were looking to get. Still, the fact that they elected board officials and sorted out a financial package from JP Morgan meant that they were serious about this. This wasn't just a hollow threat else JP Morgan wouldn't have been announced as the financiers.

This might sound mad but its bad in the long run that they are pulling out this easy.

If legislation isn't brought in Glazers FSG and co will regroup and do this again in a few years.

The power must be taken from them.

I can't believe Chelsea and City have the moral high ground against United even if it's only one inch above from the bottom. The Glazers destroyed our performances on the pitch and have now done the same to the image of the club off it. It's heartbreaking and I hope one day they face some kind of consequence.

Yep, this project is going to be dead before the end of the evening. Good thing too. It's obvious no fans want it, and a lot of the managers involved weren't consulted before the announcement.

Biggest mistake in footballing history maybe? Or am i being a bit too extreme there?

I can't wait to watch us playing Real every week once everyone else pulls out.

If they could have pushed this through now, they would have

City & Chelsea will have pulled out with some immunity from repurcussions from the FA and UEFA. We'll get a hefty fine. They won't.

I hope we hold on long enough to not get sued by Perez now. Surely he’ll go after the first cowardly teams.

Man Utd, Liverpool, Madrid and Juventus Semi finals. Who's going to be the Super League Champions?

Arsenal And Spurs won't be participating because they should never have been there in the first place.
