The universal uproar makes this impossible to happen. No way this will happen. Without the support of fans, players and clubs it will just not happen. It might take some time but in the end it will be cancelled. 

 

Yeah. Its coming across as a massive miscalculation by the owners of these clubs so far.

Did he just say the United players who died did in Munich did it for the champions league?

He did!

 

Conveniently missed out the bit that part of the reason they tried to rush back was because the FA were opposed to clubs playing in Europe and threatened to dock points if they didn't arrive back in time!

Well well. Full article below.

 

Keir Starmer urges government to block English clubs’ involvement in European Super League

 

EXCLUSIVE: The Labour Party leader is also in favour of at least limiting the ownership of clubs to reduce the amount of control clubs such as the current ‘Big Six’ occupy

 

Sir Keir Starmer has called on the government to introduce legislation to block English clubs’ involvement in The Super League, and even prise ownership from the current “Big Six” hierarchies so they have less control, stating there would be cross party support.

In an exclusive interview with The Independent on football’s crisis, to be published in full on Tuesday, the Labour Party leader said “there’s no excuse for not doing something given the level of support,” and what he described as “a wall of opposition” across society.

 

Starmer said that the government and football authorities have failed the sport through their laissez-faire approach to the game, and that a restructuring of club ownership would be central to Labour’s policy on the sport.

“My first stance is that it’s really for the Premier League and Uefa to try and sort this out with the clubs,” the opposition leader said. “But, if not, I’m really detecting now a willingness among politicians to legislate if that is necessary. It’s not an area where you’d expect legislation, but the strength of feeling is such that if the government is prepared to bring forward legislation, we would certainly look at it and support it

Very glad to see a bit of critical foresight on here at least as to the motives of those spinning yarns against LFC et al here. The brass neck of The Machine that led us into the brave new world of 70 fixture seasons, the death of the UEFA Cup, the sale of the soul of the European Cup to the oil & Arab nations now turning around and holding themselves up as some sort of bastions for the heart of the game. The Murdochs & Radrizzanis of the world adopting some sort of 21st Century Working Class Vigil to protect the interests of their media conglomerates, and self-serving politicians hopping aboard the train decades after football has been sold to the highest bidder or criminal with deepest pockets. Its enough to make you wretch.
