Other European European Super League one step closer?

The dirty dozen are meeting to disband group apparently

The damage of these clubs reputations will take years to heal. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the next UEFA/EPL meeting between clubs!

Points deductions and European bans must happen after this.

Football is so fickle, I am not so sure.

I agree. They will be treated with suspicion and not trusted for years.
They will also have alienated a lot of their supporters.
Plus many supporters from other clubs will despise them.

It was most likely a bluff the entire time, but I think they’ve horribly misjudged the feeling around using this as a bargaining chip.

Woodward has gone from United.

Rumour flying around that Ed Woodward has been made the scapegoat for this and he'll be out.

Ed Woodward has resigned! Wow

Will that be enough to take the heat off the Glazers?

Very very true, but is this a step too far?

Noone will be shedding tears for him as he was due to go at end of year anyhow

What a strange couple of days - never thought I would be fully behind FA, UEFA and FIFA. Now I'm suddenly full of praise for Chelsea, who I normally can't stand.

Statement from Jordan Henderson and now bring retreated by Liverpool players

Has there ever been a proposal ever that has been almost unanimously objected to? Players, all supporters, managers, ex managers of the clubs in question. The media have struggled to find anybody who thinks that it is vaguely a good idea.

THEre must have been a fair amount of work behind it though, with money reportedly in place? More than a vague threat

I would imagine they basically went, "Let's put it together in case we DO go through with it, and we really might, but even if we don't then any money we spend setting it up in principle will be offset by this new UEFA format for the Champions League, plus the new funding coming in." They can afford to play it however they want.

Nobody really knows what they spent on this, mind. They've got a website and a logo, along with a broad overview of what they might, sort of, maybe do one day in the future, and have had a few chats with some banks. What have they spent huge amounts of money on?

All very odd.

Love the Oscars analogy. Great piece.
