Do you want this league to go ahead?

So this will test my theory that once one team pulls out, the whole thing will come crashing down. I can't see how it doesn't, personally.
Everybody in the 12 needs to go or be muzzled. No excuses, no bullshit PR narratives. All of them.
They should go, but really only Perez and Levy show themselves at games. The Yanks will just stay in the US.
feck Chelsea and good job Chelsea
Was this all an elaborate ploy by Roman to gain favour with the UK government?? Fair fecks either way!
By all accounts Chelsea were very hesitant to sign up in the first place but didn't want to be left behind so at least they have shown a modicum of restraint unlike our club.
Not kidding, all United fans in Manchester need to take to the streets now. Right now. Keep the pressure up.
City are in itSuper League top five teams: Real, Juve, United, Liverpool, Barca
Non-SL top five: Bayern, PSG, City, Chelsea, Dortmund
Which 5 is the better 5 right now?
Well done to the Chelsea fans for actually making something happen. If it does fall apart, fully prepared for United to be the last English club to withdraw.
The fecking Yanks will be the last ones to pull out. They won't go out so easily because all they understand/know is NBA/MLB/NFL shit and that's what they want over here.
Can someone photoshop Luke Shaw's face on this?
It will end up in court and could take ages to sort, in the meantime this monstrosity can't start, especially if it gives courage to a few other clubs.
It doesn't matter. They still went ahead with it.
Its very much about the participation in the PL - or the lack of it.
United v Barcelona midweek vs Away at Burnley on a Saturday? Who does the manager pick? Who will the board tell him to pick?
How will the scheduling work out? Are the PL going to allow the SL teams play weakened sides week in week out to keep their reserves warm?
Is there any real reason to compete in a PL?? What about the FA cup and League cup. How long until the big 6 pull out of one or both?
All of this threatens the very fabric of the PL when more that 1/4 of its teams are not interested anymore.
Open your mind to what this SL really is?
Do they extend Chelsea's invite to Everton now and we see them tear down those social media posts from earlier.
Chelsea aren’t owned for profit. Let’s not fecking pretend they aren’t part of the problem though eh?
Yes and rightly so.
Peter Cech joined the protest.
Is that Roman to his left?
Luke Shaw Twitter
I don't, but it is a good point you raise. An email of a few lines which is personalised is worth so much more than a template.
I shouldn't say this but Parliamentary Committees and Government Departments basically ignore anything which is done to a template as they assume (conveniently) that is it a bot, not a real person.
It's not morals. It's something else we've known they have which we lack. Competence and ability to act quickly and decisively.I honestly can't believe the fact Chelsea now seem to have higher morals than us.
Roman has played a blinder! Now he's got the support of football fans globally
Well it’s not guaranteed is it. At the moment it’s your opinion.
Absolutely the UK govt need to be pushed to move ahead with the reforms they were talking about regardless of the outcome.
Dont think Roman comes out smelling of roses, just better then Ed and the Glazer clan.
Oh well hope this means they sell up, I would rather take Saudi Prince then those American gold diggers.

Thank you Chelsea fans for saving football.
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.
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.

Get the popcorn out.
Fans in Manchester have got to organize and kick the Glazers out, wont get another opportunity. A full boycott has to be done 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.
