BREAKING " SUPER LEAGUE OFF / CLUB OFFICIALS RESIGN "

Fifa boss Gianni Infantino "strongly disapproves" of the breakaway European Super League and says the 12 clubs will have to "live with the consequences" of their decision to join.

"There is a lot to throw away for maybe a short-term financial gain for some," said Infantino.

"Either you are in or you are out."

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has called an emergency meeting of the Premier League captains to discuss a response to the Super League.

Premier League statement:



The Premier League, alongside The FA, met with clubs today to discuss the immediate implications of the Super League proposal.

The 14 clubs at the meeting unanimously and vigorously rejected the plans for the competition.

The Premier League is considering all actions available to prevent it from progressing, as well as holding those Shareholders involved to account under its rules.

The League will continue to work with key stakeholders including fan groups, Government, UEFA, The FA, EFL, PFA and LMA to protect the best interests of the game and call on those clubs involved in the proposed competition to cease their involvement immediately.

The Premier League would like to thank fans and all stakeholders for the support they have shown this week on this significant issue.

The reaction proves just how much our open pyramid and football community means to people.

NED the gvmnt as also said they will make sure clubs cannot use the law to block attempts to ban clubs from leagues? This comes after it was revealed clubs could go to court using competitions commission rules to stay in leagues but boris said they will bring in laws to prevent this.

Looks like they've been prepared for the aggro..

These clubs are fighting the authorities, governments and supporters over this.


The 12 clubs might have a lot of money, but I'm not sure they'll win legally.

The big part of that statement of the Premier League statement is where they say the six clubs will be held to account.

According to The Sun a meeting was held by the 14 other PL clubs and they are all agreed that the way forward is to ask the big 6 to leave at the end of the season

This bit concerns me it comes from the 14 clubs? We want the 6 to stay in premier league but not the executives? Whilst they reject E.S.L they are leaving door open which to me is a dangerous thing and this is what E.S.L want a way to sort of blackmail clubs into signing more power/money to these clubs like the big picture idea last year ...
Ps legal discussion is taking place as to if UEFA/FIFA can ban them from this years euro cups and players from competitions.. watch this space.

I think once they're gone, they won't be invited back.

I honestly don't see any of the organisations giving these twelve clubs more money to stop this happening.

If this was all kept in-house then that might have been possible. But it's far too public now.

This doesn't surprise me, if true.

I think a lot of people would support this at the moment as well.

Well they managed to manipulate more money from overseas tv rights! ...... Perez at real gave game away with his statement in TV interview they have lost millions and they want to maximise income from E.S.L as cannot get it any other way.... but its yanks doing this and maybe clubs will think twice before getting taken over by them in future? Let's hope the authorities stand form and take it all the way of banishing these clubs from our leagues

I can't see either side backing down now.

Most likely conclusion is that clubs are kicked out of their leagues.

Madrid court as placed temporary block on UEFA FIFA from stopping E.S.L going ahead until it takes full look at E.S.L case...... is this sign that E S.L have found a friendly court to block authorities from acting ? Presume it doesnt have jurisdiction in uk.

As you've said, there's a clause in the Premier League contract where they have to give permission or teams will be excluded.

So don't think it can possibly legally apply in the UK.

Boris Johnson has held talks with the Premier League and the FA today.

Said he'll do whatever it takes to stop this happening.

I think governments and the rest of the footballing authorities, together with fans, Leagues and the other clubs all working together will stop this, I don't think they would have expected such a unified backlash.

Surely it’s up to the premier league who they let in? So a can a lawyer force them to keep sides in? With brexit we can now, if our mps want, create whatever law they want to stop it happening regards the 6 English clubs. So if they are stopped would the super league have the same draw? PSG Bayern etc are still massive pulls for the champions league so they can stay put

It's about preventing E.S.L going ahead... in case of uk it will be about kicking out teams from premier league which as far as can see they can be because of the rules inforce... E.S.L did day they would vigorously use law to get this done and looks like started the process.

Ban the 6 from premier and fa cup with no way of returning at any time in the future they' ll soon get p.ss.d off having no fans wanting to travel abroad to see there team . play

So these other 5 teams they want to invite in.

What happens if a of the founding clubs finish below them in the league but the founding clubs can’t be relegated?

Something they may gave not considered is we are now a sovereign state so not under EU laws? If boris is true to his word we can put in things that would stop this in its tracks and fck all E.S.L can do about it.

The government is considering implementing the German “50+1” fan ownership model

Wont work here premier league to successful and different financial model... tbh it's a sure way to drive more attempts to break away in future
