Laylabelle 9,534 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Someone on twitter said its like the Fyre Festival of Football..sums it up!!! Arsenal have said sorry... ''As a result of listening to you and the wider football community over recent days we are withdrawing from the proposed Super League. We made a mistake, and we apologise for it.'

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 question will be what the price is the clubs have to pay for 2 days of madness. Probably millions of fines to get out of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 All the English clubs are out of the Super League, although the only one yet to release a statement is us. Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool and Spurs have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew as a result we were dropping out regardless of the official statement but was never going to be announced by the club with the game on tonight.

Laylabelle 9,534 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I like Arsenal's statement.. saying about a mistake and apologising. Feels nice somehow There was 6..now none lol.

If the club are that bothered about the timing they can word it as "As reported earlier this evening..." or "Earlier today we...". I think it's been made clear though throughout the last couple of days and today that City and Chelsea have made a mistake following everyone else into this and been planning to remove themselves since. Not that this exonerates either from blame, but it's pretty clear who the drivers of this were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It'll be interesting to see whether Bruce Buck leaves the club shortly. I think his position is untenable now. Reports suggest Roman wasn't keen on this as it was so it must have been driven by someone and has left the club now with so much negative publicity to deal with. Buck is about 75 years old now too, he's not going to last forever. It can be done in an amicable way similar to that of Woodward. There's been all sorts of talks about punishments in the Premier League but I don't think point deductions will happen. Instead I think heads will roll in high up positions in these 6 clubs and new committee members will be introduced to rebuild trusts and relationships. I like the way that the likes of Bayern have ex players in these sorts of positions to represent the club. It screams of Cech to act for us in this capacity moving forward.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Still has to be repercussions for the clubs. Be it heavy fines or whatever. And also internally the clubs need to sort their shit out. Cant kick us out of competitions now this season which is good but I wouldn’t be surprised if they still pushed to try ban all 12 teams in next seasons CL. Or do something to send a message. Plus there will inevitably be money exchanged to get out this super league. Theres no way a 23 year commitment agreement that is “legally binding” can just be walked out of After a change of heart.

Superblue 6,372 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I must say fair play to Arsenal. They're mostly a complete shit-show nowadays but their statement is actually excellent and very apologetic. I'd like to hope what we do end up officially announcing is of a similar sentiment. Spurs though, Levy has expressed regret but no form of apology and basically just a statement trying to justify themselves.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Never mind the fact that the Super League idea was trash to begin with. They can't even market it right. They announced the god damn thing close to midnight on Sunday, then you have Perez giving that interview again close to midnight on Monday and now, you have everyone pulling out close to midnight on Tuesday! WHAT A FUCKING SHITSHOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More information will follow but legally binding has come from Perez's interview yesterday. There's lots of speculation it was a letter of intention. I'm sure we'll see in due course. If there are financial repercussions then it teaches a lesson. I'd be very surprised though if there are European bans. UEFA would secretly probably love to make an example, but they will not want to water down their premier competition to that degree next season. At the end of the day that's the whole reason this has kicked off in the first place! I think the biggest punishments will come politically from UEFA. PSG and Bayern will be the big dogs now in terms of positions of power and quite frankly rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The hilarious thing now is the reformed Champions League is not any better than the Super League either. It still seeks to protect the interest of the big clubs. Fernando and OneMoSalah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 does anyone else want to 🤮 every time Florentino Perez opens his mouth? Wonder if he actually tries to sound like an arrogant prick, or is it something that comes naturally to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
