Atletico Madrid are pulling out as well.

The longer we stay in it, the more idiotic & isolated we will be. Woodward is a buffoon & they’ve seriously miscalculated the backlash. Own up the mistake & get out of our club.
Yeah, our club is stained as long as these greedy bastards are owners. I do feel ashamed, even if I realise it's not directly my fault or anything.
I won't say this is over till ourselves, Real, Barca, Juventus or Liverpool rule themselves out. Any of those back in the Champions League and this competition will lack any credibility and the CL line-up looks better and better
Thought they might. Not sure it was their scene to be honest.
Nah. I posted this before but imagine the good publicity they (and these two in particular) would have got if they had said no from the beginning. I applaud them for doing the right thing now but let's not forget they (or rather their executives) were part of this. Still, between the scenes outside Stamford Bridge right now, Perez' interview yesterday and Perez' much anticipated interview later today, I feel this was all worth it. Great entertainment.
Simply can't see how it goes ahead when teams are ALREADY pulling out. The whole thing is an absolute shambles and will hopefully come crashing down because of this.
Well, this is going to die as quickly as it started haha
Woodward sacked by the end of the season/taking the brunt for this terrible decision?

That'll be Perez I guess
You'd think so, but I could see them carrying on with it somehow.
It'll probably end up being United, Madrid, Juve and Barca going round the world multiple times per year charging for friendlies at the expense of the league and cup competitions, and calling it the "Super Team World Tour" or something.
The current system isn’t sustainable, change is inevitable, but this isn’t it.
How much weirder can all of this get? This needs a thorough post-mortem analysis, because there have to be shady deals at play in this rushed announcement followed by an almost immediate collapse.
The whole thing likely falls apart if we pull out because we are part responsible for it’s creation.
Then the fans have to make themselves heard.
The cynic in me thinks UEFA have given something in return and this was all a bluff...
The big takeaway from all of this is this feeling of pride that all football fans want the same thing: Eligibility through success on the pitch, not a god given right to compete regardless of domestic performance.
Dominos are falling, 4 are now gone.
I wonder how long our fecking parasites will wait.

Fair play to the Chelsea fans - they bloody did it.
Milan have pulled out, Atletico have pulled out
seriously? Where are the tweets?
Everyone is pulling out now according to the news. There's a big meeting going on.
Was this whole thing just a ploy to get more UCL money?
Seems like it's all falling apart, unfortunately our name will be tarnished forever now.
With the super league collapsing, this has to be the end of Woodward, right?
Milan as well? Wow!
Great protest by Chelsea fans. Leading by example. Hang in there lads. Lets forget our differences and stand together.
We aren’t pulling out we’re in too deep
The blame will be on our shoulders for all this and rightly so. One could hope that this could finally see the glazers fecking off though.

All this was 100% a power play to negotiate with UEFA so Chelsea and co pulling out is a bit stupid on their part. UEFA would have bent over for them after another week or so
I’m genuinely shocked that it’s falling this easily.
I wonder if they genuinely thought the fans of the 12 clubs would be on board for it? I'm sure they predicted everyone else would rage about it but perhaps the reaction of the club's own fans surprised them
Mate this the red wedding in reverse... can I do Perez at the end after he seen the chaos he's caused.
I thought it was Real and Perez running the show?
I wouldn't be surprised if these clubs get a big share of the new pie from UEFA after all of this. After all, that's what they were looking to get. Still, the fact that they elected board officials and sorted out a financial package from JP Morgan meant that they were serious about this. This wasn't just a hollow threat else JP Morgan wouldn't have been announced as the financiers.
Thank God. I'm almost crying here
This might sound mad but its bad in the long run that they are pulling out this easy.
If legislation isn't brought in Glazers FSG and co will regroup and do this again in a few years.
The power must be taken from them.

This was an interesting couple of days.
Looking forward to the new look tri-nations league.
I can't believe Chelsea and City have the moral high ground against United even if it's only one inch above from the bottom. The Glazers destroyed our performances on the pitch and have now done the same to the image of the club off it. It's heartbreaking and I hope one day they face some kind of consequence.
