14 Premier League clubs 'unanimously and vigorously' reject plans for competition

The 14 Premier League clubs not involved in the new European Super League have "unanimously and vigorously" rejected plans for the breakaway competition.

The Premier League met without Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham to discuss the newly-announced competition at a virtual meeting on Tuesday.

The two-and-a-half-hour meeting, chaired by Premier League CEO Richard Masters, explored ways to collectively respond to the proposals.

A Premier League statement read: "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 supporters 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."

In a memo sent out to all 20 clubs before Tuesday's meeting, Masters wrote: "We do not and cannot support such a concept.

"This venture cannot be launched without English clubs and we call upon any club contemplating associating themselves or joining this venture to walk away immediately before irreparable damage is done."

What is your take?

if visions of six doesn't align with fourteen,they should allow them to breakaway. after all six is greater than fourteen.

before you argue pls think twice. you kno wha I m!n?the capital investment of both waring parties says it all. friendship is not by force.


when six invested a lots in the clubs vs fourteen investing little and the governing bodies using the capital of the six wise ones to sustain themselves & meet up with their selfish ideologies. it calls for questions & reactions.


the Major factor is the governing bodies. imagine winning a UCL with little token given after spending a lot to entertain the fans & to make football worth the value attached to it compared to other sports.

the proposed. ESL have its advantage,more players will be born,new investors will emerge,room for employment increases. Eufa knows these,but due to their ego,mediocrity is what they prefer in football.
