It's so craply complicated, apart from anything else. It's not a proper league.
I'm not even completely against changing the CL, even if there is not a lot wrong with it... but the proposals looks so ill thought-out to me.

"What are fans but mere external stakeholders?"
They were exploring legals before confirming. City were first to confirm.
They all need to be ousted.
They're backtracking not because they care what fans think, but they know they have to find a sustainable way of continuing to rip us off without governments getting involved.

One of them needs to stay in, so that they can be top AND bottom of their own league. Sounds like something Juventus would do.
Finished first. Wooooo.
Finished bottom, though.
Can't get relegated!
Lets goooooo.

Can we knight Gary Neville now?
With this supposed cash injection from Uefa, have Madrid and Barca got their bailout of sorts anyway?
Yep just four teams left in, another semi for Ole.

They're trying to figure out what's the way to earn most points - do they apologise, keep it short or what? PR team in heavy discussions probably.
I just saw that this guy had taken his shoes off. Never realized it before.
A bit Scouse, this.
I am not sure why these clubs think that 300 million per club for a pretty random selection of clubs who will continue to play domestically is good for the sustainabililty of football?
We need less money being spent (or the money better divided), not more... CL participation is too decisive, and Super League participation would be even worse!
It's great news it's gone, but the money factor in football is still there...

You take greedy owners and mix in some stupid American businessmen (American posters on here are fine) who show their complete ignorance for the world's love of football and how passionately we feel about it.
Then put Perez in charge.
Basically they're all shite (Levy's a gobshite smartarse), they tried something terrible, their apologies are awful and I'm just glad it's over. I was in a very bad place two days ago ... heartbroken at the thought of stopping supporting United (I will never support a super league).
But this will hopefully turn out to be the start of something good, see some changes we need/want. Ironic?
Drinks are on me!
For services to being 16 years late on this crusade against the Glazers?
Just shows how gullible the supposed best chairman in the league is and how out of touch he is with fans
This is the stuff.
Absolutely pathetic and piss poor statement from Liverpool. Two short paragraphs, not even a smidge of an apology towards Klopp, the players or the fans. Feck off FSG, the sooner the better.
This is the PR working already. Define the good guys, make it sound like owners listen how they feel about it. This will be quiet soon.
Hey everybody!
Let's laugh at Liverpool and Chelsea dropping points!!!
Seriously!! It matters, gives me chills....
Awesome. I am usually cynical but they've gone against the club, so I believe this.
GLAZERS OUT!
I wonder what all the consultants and analysts that worked on this Super League project are thinking at the moment.
No doubt that smart people have done their research but the miscalculation truly is something else. This will be studied in universities what went wrong from a PR perspective.

I think that, putting aside all rivaly, all the supporters against this in all those clubs should be given huge amount of respect for being united for one case.
So well done Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and ManCity fans. Not to forget other fans too.

The post mortem of the crisis management here will be something.
Fecking finally! It took long enough but it's the result we wanted. Good stuff. Not to see what the fallout of this means for our club.
Yeah, I've given this some thought. The players and coaches have been playing twice a week since September to get positive results on the pitch and succeed in the very same European competitions that our owners were secretly working to remove us from.
Everything the players and fans have gone through all season and just as we're on the cusp of having a season to be positive about, after years of them fecking it up for us, they find the ultimate way to piss all over it.
The disconnect between the ambitions of the football and money men ends up being the most potent metaphor we've had yet for why they need to get the feck out of this club.
Come on, Atletico.......
PS. Rereading... better financial fair play... better for the football pyramid?
Piss off Levy you smalltime knob.
So who's left
Absolutely. I just posted that the post mortem of the crisis management will be quite something.
I love this Tweet.
When they turn up in the morning, they're going to have 143 missed calls from Perez saying "please. Pleassssse!!"
Are any of these wankstain clubs shooting a documentary this season alá ‘All or Nothing’ with Amazon?
It would be a brilliant couple of episodes dedicated solely to this fiasco, wouldn’t it?

I'm over the moon we've stopped this.
But as long as they're still here, there's the threat they can pull a similar stunt again, only they might get away with it next time.
It's now imperative that we oust them completely.
Well now there is no more guarantee of Europe we can get back to laughing at Liverpools league position!
Florentino on the Zoom meeting explaining how it can still work...
I didn't hear a dickie bird from Spain against it and a lot of approval. Seems the UK backlash from the Government, fans and media sunk this fecker.
Levy's statement is full bitterness.
