BREAKING: European Super League OFF As Chelsea And Man City Pull Out And 12 Clubs Plan Meeting
The proposed European Super League is OFF, wontumionline.com understands.
All of the clubs involved in the controversial plans are meeting on Tuesday night to disband the idea, after Premier League duo Chelsea and Manchester City pulled out of the competition.
Chelsea are preparing to withdraw from the European Super League after angry fan protests.
The news comes after huge protests from Chelsea fans outside of Stamford Bridge ahead of the clash with Brighton.
Scores of fans chanted, let off blue smoke bombs and marched around the west London ground, with police attempting to control the crowds.
Former Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech, now a technical advisor at the club, spoke to some supporters and could be heard saying “give everybody time” in a video posted on social media.
That followed angry protests before Leeds’ clash with Liverpool at Elland Road on Monday night and a furious backlash from supporters up and down the country.
Chelse and Man City have duly decided to withdraw from the ESL – with the other clubs now ready to follow suit.
“You couldn’t make it up. This is Hollywood movie. Blockbuster gone horribly wrong,” Danny Mills said reacting to the news.
“What did these clubs think the reaction would be. They’ve tipped the toe in the water, it’s been bit off and scolded in the process.”
