Chelsea fans never going to live this down!
Unlike the other clubs, I feel United are in deep with this.
I'm glad it's Chelsea and not one of the shitter clubs like Arsenal & Spurs pulling out first cause this has definitely had more of an impact.
Joel Glazer right now:
All goes to prove how fecking shambolic this thing was. Built on sand. At the first hint of a protest, one of the members folds and tries to leave (obviously a good thing), which SHOULD bring the whole thing down.
Absolute fecking shambles.

Chelsea to withdraw from European Super League
Chelsea will no longer take part in a breakaway European Super League.
They are the first club of the 12 teams who announced plans to form a European Super League to walk away from the proposed tournament.
Chelsea’s decision to quit the plans leaves Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as the five English teams still involved with the breakaway tournament.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck had earlier met with players and staff to discuss the proposals while there were a series of fan protests outside Stamford Bridge ahead of the club’s Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night.

Fans in Manchester have got to organize and kick the Glazers out, wont get another opportunity. A full boycott has to be done now.
He wants longer games now
This is my worry. Feel like we'll be one of the very last to give in. The Glazers want this desperately clearly.
It's going to be us playing Real Madrid and Juventus in some three team league every year out of stubbornness.
They still shouldn't let the Chelsea board off scot-free at the end of the day whether they were 'bullied' by the other clubs or not they are still complicit in this mess.
Not surprising, they & City's owners are not in it for financial gain. Also their ability to outspend the rest of the Dirty Dozen would vanish almost overnight.
We are the fecking Super League
Now that his bluff has been called out
All the more reason.
The ESL won't be too worried about the fans, unfortunately. The real money is in broadcasting rights.
According to Wikipedia (link) there 294 stadiums around the world which can host Association Football and have a capacity of over 50,000. Considering the fact that a 20 team league will have 380 matches over a season, there'd be lots of options to take the ESL on a world tour.

Shows how far we have fallen in our own estimationI’ve spent the last three days respecting Leeds, James fecking Milner, and now Chelsea.
and it’s all Man United’s fault ffs
Super League won't happen. It'll be inevitable that UEFA will just pay the big teams a fat cheque and everyone will go play happy families again. Footy is saved! CL is back!
Unfortunately, you still won't see UEFA, FIFA, players, pundits, Boris, media etc go against the billionaire owners because they'll all be back being paid. We will be stuck with the Glazers.
That's just how this will end up.

Fans will be fans, owners will be owners. Hats off and ultimate respect to the chavs who took it to their hearts and then streets. We are the red devils, the red army. Hope we do our part. It is now or never to punish the leeches who have been sucking the clubs blood for 15 years.
Why? Id say all English clubs are in this less than the foreign clubs. Its always been rumoured that it was the clubs jealous of Englands tv deals that got behind it.
Id say all English sides out by the weekend.
First one to fall only gets deducted 10 points. Second one gets 20 and so on. Let's see how fast they come crawling back.
The Glazers. Can we please distinguish between the cnuts that own us and the club. They aren’t Manchester United and they’re about to fecking realise that.
By the way, the football agents were in support of the Super League. Let's see what they come out with as this (hopefully) falls apart:

I would love to see it if Chelsea request to withdraw and Perez says no tough luck, then City follow and they fight amongst themselves.
City withdrawing now. United, Liverpool and Arsenal will be the last to withdraw.
Get the banners out
Get the placards out
And kick these leeches out right now
This really is the only opportunity we'll get
Well 4 of the 15 teams who were meant to be in this are now gone so they need to find enough clubs before they worry about where they're going to play these games.
Correction: 5
and the domino effect has started!
Knew it would be a snowball effect.
If true. It's the end.
