United: "We have listened carefully to the reaction from our fans, the UK government and other key stakeholders."

Boris will claim victory for this!
 
I coach a team with 15, 16 and 17 years olds. All of them, every singel one of them, hated this superleague.

Brilliant. I hated all those talks about the younger generation not liking the game or whatever. As a millenial, I know what's it like to have the older generation assuming the worst of yours and I don't ever want to be someone like that.
 
That statement by Utd is interesting though, couldn't help but re-emphasize the challenges football is facing and they'll continue to work on "sustainable solutions".
 
Through all of this, why did they not just start this as a pre-season or post-season tournament and try to grow it from there? Idiots imo, of course there would be a massive backlash if they suddenly announced it like they did
 


Chairman Daniel Levy said: “We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal. We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.

“We believe that we should never stand still and that the sport should constantly review competitions and governance to ensure the game we all love continues to evolve and excite fans around the world.

“We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions.”
 
seems to me like the spanish and italian clubs really wanted this to happen

I wonder why
Make no mistake, the UK teams are in the same pot. They folded due to pressure from various sides. They would definitely want that to happen and plotted it for years.

it would be pretty funny if all those clubs that pulled out are in for a prolonged legal battle and pay compensations on top of it.
 


Yet never put a tweet out to say we would be joining the Super League, or a message on any social media platform. Put it on the website so no one could comment on it, on the platforms they love to harp on about their growth on.
