The cynic in me thinks UEFA have given something in return and this was all a bluff...

Didn't they announce 4.6billion something or other today. Which funnily enough was what the superleague project was originally quoting.

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.

I am heartened by the response of the fans on here.

We know that Ed and the Glazers aren't what Manchester United need
"We are United!" in our contempt for them.
 
We're out.

Now the Glazers can feck off and Perez can play against himself.

It's quite bizarre to see people react so positively to this latest Chelsea nonsense and take every bit of news about this literally, getting emotional and not thinking for two seconds.

This Super League was extremely unlikely to happen, at least in the coming two years. Which was blatantly obvious given how amateurish the news was brought into the world, how unprepared everyone involved is at the moment, other than a cheap website there was no infrastructure in place at all. Obviously a club like Chelsea knows this so they can now act like they're taking the moral highground after joining the plan first to put pressure on UEFA - they're a scummy club who owe their success to the ridiculous spending of a shady Russian billionaire. And distgustingly people on here are celebrating this and lapping it up like a bunch of sheep.

The whole Super League is more of a threat and a negotiation position than anything by the big clubs involved. Throw out a generic press release and an amateurish website in the week UEFA is introducing their new CL set-up, create a meda shit storm.

In the meanwhile the UEFA is now being forced to create a lot more funds for the new CL, there's talks of finding investment parters to pump 6-7 billion into the new Champions League.

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2...-2bn-deal-with-centricus-to-halt-super-league

"UEFA is in discussions with Centricus Asset Management over a 6 billion-euro ($7.2 billion) financing package to overhaul its flagship soccer tournament and stop plans for a new breakaway Super League, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Switzerland-based sporting body is working with Centricus on a plan to fund a new-look UEFA Champions League tournament, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information."

I don’t know about that. Ed withdrew United from the ECA and himself from a position on fifa or uefa (can’t remember which). United went balls in on this idea
 
Everyone's pulling out except for us. Manchester United, Super League champions 2021! Our trophyless run is over!
 
Do you think they genuinely thought the fans of the clubs involved would be really happy about it?

There’s a story from earlier today about UEFA changing the format and taking out a credit loan on 7bn. This 4.6bn league hasn’t just collapsed in 6 hours from nowhere.

This £4.6bn league was announced even though 3 of the clubs who were meant to be in it had clearly already pulled out and 2 others in particular only begrudgingly agreed to it last week. The new Champions League already massive suits these teams but they thought they could get more on their own, if this was the plan they wouldn't have given up their major roles within the ECA.

What I hope this leads to is ownership reform. To stop the excess monopoly. Fans know they have a voice. Time to use it.

I never thought id ever be ashamed to be a United fan. And after over 40 years as a fan i can truly say i am.
There is only one solution and that is to rid our club of the Glazers once and for all.
We cannot settle for less anymore.

So Chelsea, City and Atletico are pulling out. I hope Boris Johnson does pull the trigger and ownership model in England changes. Roman and the sheikhs have got the message and do not want to lose their money. Where the fook the vice Chairman of ESL is? I hope he is deluded enough to push for his new position till the very end to piss the British public and government truly off.

It's imploding in on itself, Boris doesn't need to do anything.

I believe it is. The big clubs just showed everyone how powerful they are and now will be renegotiating terms with UEFA.

All my opinion of course. Could be bs.

This exactly. I will be amazed if not everyone is back in their position or better. Failed project, nah, this will end in better deals imo.
 
So having resigned from the ECA to stage a coup, everyone involved will now have to come back with their tail between their legs and now have much less power than before.

Woodward and whoever else resigned from their position at uefa are absolutely egg faced now.

He's one of the most unpopular men in our club's history so I wouldn't put it beyond them to just sack him, lay the blame at his feet and act like nothing has happened, the Glazer's I mean.
 
Didn’t Perez state the contracts were binding?

Interesting to see if the clubs are even allowed out.
 
Clubs pulling out faster than John Terry at a Bridge family barbecue.

The sheer incompetence of the men running one of the biggest clubs in the world is worrying, there's people on minimum wage working in your local Tesco's with more nouse

Yep, this project is going to be dead before the end of the evening. Good thing too. It's obvious no fans want it, and a lot of the managers involved weren't consulted before the announcement.

Biggest mistake in footballing history maybe? Or am i being a bit too extreme there?

We'll have to see how it ends up but the Glazers could really have shot themselves in the foot here.
 
All the clubs now in a race for some good PR. Seen the error of their ways.

Honestly I would rather have seen United relegated than in this.

What? Of course they would. The whole point was to show their teeth...I’m telling you in a few weeks we’ll see the new format revealed.
