Great job Chelsea!

There's a Norwegian phrase - 'det er ingen skam å snu' - there's no shame in turning around. Hope City follows as they were also supposedly reluctant.

I feel good for the Chelsea fans.
The punishments should get less severe depending on who withdraws in which order lol

Apparently city and Atletico Madrid are out as well and Laporta said that it's up to the members whether Barcelona joins. Looks like it's a face saving way to get out as well for Barca.

Beautiful! It seemed like a matter of time tbh. You just can't succeed with a new product when the launch is that bad.

The Guardian’s Jessica Elgot asks what is Boris Johnson’s own view on the German model of ownership (50+1) which gives fans a controlling stake in their clubs?

Johnson says it’s a matter for the minister for sport Tracey Crouch to address in her review and he is of the opinion that she is impressed by those models.


Well I'll be damned. Someone previously praised Crouch in this thread, but this would be absolutely amazing for English as well as European football.

How would she do it though? UK would buy the shares?


I guess there are many possibilities. But really all they need to do is make a law (or convince the league to do it, but GL on that) which states that you can only compete if you're 50+1 owned by the club. And then just leave it to each owner to figure it out.

I gave up drinking 20 months ago (not an alcoholic) but I might go for a beer to celebrate this. Amazing news.
These teams need to be left with no uncertainty that they can't just do this though.
This feels like player power.

even if the super league is formally called off our war against these owners has to continue. everything from the ownership of clubs to the management of club finances and player/agent expenses has to be reformed from top to bottom. keep the momentum going and force out cancerous owners like the glazers. if things just quiet down and settle then were back at the status quo and nothing changes until this idea gets brought up again

From the bbc LOL:

The decision was taken by owner Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea board after witnessing negative global reaction to the Super League.

There was a fear that it could do reputational damage to a club which prides itself on its anti-Semitism and community work.

Questions were raised internally as to whether fans would respond to the club if it continued with a proposal which has gone down so badly.

The decision was made earlier on Tuesday before protests started outside Stamford Bridge.

It is understood Chelsea was not one of the main drivers of the Super League idea, but felt it had to get on board when it was presented to them late last week.


Unfortunate phrasing, man.

I think Abramovich cut a deal with the UK govenment so he can stay in the UK and push through the new stadium. 5D chess

Good job Chelsea.

Sadly I see MU's Glazers and Ed Woodward as being the last to leave, perhaps only second to Real Madrid.
