Honestly, the ones responsible in our club can pack their bags and f the right off. I will never watch any of the Super League games if it comes to that.

United is worth $4.2 bn alone, are you talking about all British clubs or just United - could be a rather big loan considering they are borrowing frantically to cover Covid and Brexit.

Back in the real world...
Come on, give over. Earlier today you were saying it was unrealistic this monstrosity wasn't going to happen.

It's very feasible that the government can mandate the sale of a portion of the club - 20,30 or 50% over a number of years.

Also, the PL can adopt some new rules where a minimum of X% is owned by the fans. Certainly enough for a board seat, so the fans are never kept in the dark ever again.

The guys who defended this idea last 2 ideas honestly need now to come and bravely apologize and admit they were on the wrong side.

Chelsea and City have officially withdrawn from the proposed SuperLeague. Rumors that Atletico have too, although these have been denied. Barcelona said to be letting the fans decide. Also a report that all 12 are meeting now to put an end to it.

In the midst of this, news broke that Ed Woodward has resigned, due to leave end of the season. Rumors Juve’s Agnelli has resigned, although this has been denied. More and more players coming out against it.
Thanks. Something similar will probably happen in a few years under the guidance of UEFA and not many will object then.

So, no master plan, just arrogant rich idiots who were so detached from reality that they thought they could get this through. Would be funny if it didn't confirm how far away those people have moved from the actual fans.

Nonsense to knock on Henderson and the other Liverpool players. Liverpool are still in the ESL as things stand and it takes courage for the players to speak up that clearly. Strong statement.

I would have gladly taken relegation down as many leagues as was imposed rather than play in a competition with no consequences or merit. I wish we hadn't been the ones leading it, as long as the Glazers are here we are forever tarnished and far removed from the traditions and values of the club. I just hope this speeds up their exit.

Yeah, all the players that have stood up are legends. Especially considering the likes of Raiola and the agents associations apparently were in favour of this new league.

UEFA quick to remind us that they're almost as disgusting as the wannabe ESL founders:

Aleksandar Ceferin, the president of Uefa, has had this to say on City’s withdrawal from the Super League project:

I am delighted to welcome City back to the European football family. They have shown great intelligence in listening to the many voices - most notably their fans - that have spelled out the vital benefits that the current system has for the whole of European football. As I said at the Uefa Congress, it takes courage to admit a mistake but I have never doubted that they had the ability and common sense to make that decision. City are a real asset for the game and I am delighted to be working with them for a better future for the European game.

Explains why Pogba, Mr Instagram, has been conspicuously quiet.

Do we really have to name and shame people because they share a different opinion?
