Anti Super League coalition in the Premier League

It is getting serious. News that some English clubs are thinking of pulling back from the European Super League is ruffling even more feathers.

According to some reports, Chelsea and Manchester City, who were not that vocal about the creation of the new league but were on board afraid that they might miss out on a huge project, are on the verge of rejecting the participation. Enormous pressure coming from the fans, former footballers and the public altogether made it severely unpleasant for the wealthy English clubs.

It is safe to assume that these two clubs were not as eager to form a new league as Liverpool or Manchester United due to the ownership and the system it comes from. American capital is what is behind two biggest English rivals and the system implemented in American sports is what they are accustomed to. Money flowing in fast but the tradition and dedication to a club (no matter how big or small the club is) is out the window.

Chelsea and Man City, founded mostly by Russian capital and the money from the United Arab Emirates, are not that financially challenged. Of course, most of the teams are losing money due to the coronavirus crisis but for these two it is not the end of the world. It can be said that is the reason why they were not as engaged as the executives of Man United or Liverpool.

The fellow Premiership teams expressed their views on the 'big' clubs separating themselves and creating a league of their own. The views vary from extremely harsh to comical.

Blue side of Liverpool, Everton FC, and the executives of the Toffees are determined in seeking punishment for the teams who 'betrayed' English football. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri calls for the Premier League to deduct points off the breakaway six looking to form the Super League.

'Every facet of this is against the idea of British football. This is six clubs attacking the Premier League and should be punished. Football’s about competition, every club can outperform the other.'

'Everton is saddened and disappointed to see proposals of a breakaway league pushed forward by six clubs.

'Six clubs acting entirely in their own interests. Six clubs tarnishing the reputation of our league and the game. Six clubs choosing to disrespect every other club with whom they sit around the Premier League table. Six clubs taking for granted and even betraying the majority of football supporters across our country and beyond.

FIFA vows 'consequences' for Super League clubs as backlash intensifies

These clubs have been secretly conspiring to break away from a football pyramid that has served them so well. And in that Pyramid Everton salutes EVERY club, be it Leicester City, Accrington Stanley, Gillingham, Lincoln City, Morecambe, Southend United, Notts County and the rest who have, with their very being, enriched the lives of their supporters throughout the game's history. And vice versa.

'The self-proclaimed Super Six appear intent on disenfranchising supporters across the game - including their own - by putting the very structure that underpins the game we love under threat. The backlash is understandable and deserved – and has to be listened to.

Member of the board of directors Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale wrote personally to Everton fans.

'I feel it is only right that, as CEO of your football club, I write to you directly following the plans made public over the weekend for a European Super League.

'As a proud custodian of Everton, I, along with my fellow board members, understand the responsibility that has been entrusted upon us to maintain the traditions of your club and of the wider game.

Everton was a founder member of the Football League and a founder member of the Premier League.

'Throughout our history the club has always strived to move both Everton and the game forward. But we have always done so within the parameters of the pyramid structure which maintains the principles of open competition and sporting merit.

'Sadly, the plans that have been made public by 12 clubs from across Europe - and six in our own Premier League - do not maintain those principles.

'Disenfranchising supporters across the game and undermining the very structure of the pyramid that underpins the game we love is, quite simply, wrong.

Wolverhampton Wanderers approached the situation on a lighter note. The club edited the official description of the club's Twitter profile.

After the 2018/19 season Wolves were 7th in the table. Given that six clubs above them might be banned from the Premier League and stripped of their accolades, Wolves self-proclaimed themselves champions of 2018/29 Premier league season. Quite original, wouldn't you say?

Southampton caught on to the humor-train and replied to the tweet by the Wolves as the 'champions of 2014/15' season.

One after another, clubs gave their statements severely judging the decision of the 'Big Six' to have a mid-week league of their own.

Also, player's and managers across Premier League emerged with their views on the situation, heightening the pressure on English clubs who are considering their membership in the ESL.
