According to journalist Alex Wickham, a source with knowledge that one of the big six English clubs is now seriously considering pulling out of the Super League. They are accusing Liverpool and Manchester United — the 2 clubs leading the breakaway — of lying to them and “f***ing up”.
Meanwhile, Anas Laghrari – the secretary general of the Super League – talked about the new project in an interview with Le Parisien.
“The Super League can start even in five months. We are ready to sit down and talk to UEFA. Their threats of exclusion are not legal anyway. It will not be a closed league, a quarter of the teams will be renewed every year,” he said (via MilanNews).
“We want to create the best football, we have the desire to organize a competition that everyone wants to see, that makes people dream, young people to renew a football that has entered the madness of transfers and money.”
Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol states on Twitter that there are ‘strong differences of opinion emerging in private between breakaway clubs’ with some executives involved believing they’re being ‘hung out to dry’ and ‘are beginning to get cold feet’. They’re nervous & disappointed about way it’s been handled. One says: “This is not what we signed up for.”
If they can come together to take such a great decision then they must used such to retire that greedy super agent
