I mean anti-anti semitism is a bit of a mouthful.

The three main drivers seem to have been RM, Juventus and United.

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.

is there a similar word that this guy got confused about? how the fuck do you write that lol


A source at the club told Forbes: “The club is preparing to pull out. Roman’s involvement with the club has never been about money, it has always been about the community and [the] fans. This is not what we want.”

The source added, “Issues with the Champions League and Uefa remain ... but we are preparing to withdraw after having listened to the community.”

You know, its mostly the American billionares that buy into football to make money. The other mega rich owners are in it for the image boost. And this isnt a good look for ones image

Edit: what i quoted is what he probably said just got lost along the way with how quick the media are pumping out articles

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.

That's a money loss, I doubt you can do that without reimbursement and that's gonna be pretty costly considering we're talking about the whole PL.

Ya I always had the impression that Roman was in it cause he thought playing real life FM was fun, Arabs care more about PR than about money, and the American owners only care about money.

Then there's Perez and the Juventus dude whom I think have wanted to equalize the economic advantage of the premier league.
Literally the only guy I've seen be positive towards this (aside from owners) was the leader of the real madrid supporter club in Norway - and he stated that as the reason - it was good, economically, for real madrid.

The Super League could turn out to be a good thing if the egregiousness of it pushes much-needed reform of the governance of the sport.

I’m not particularly happy at this avoidance of catastrophe, merely stopping it this time, what’s to stop them having another crack down the line?

The Overton window has been pushed rather far out here, I don’t want the existing inequity and treatment of fans to be seen as fair and the norm, merely by comparison to the Super League.

so is there any significance about the clubs that have already left the eca? do they just casually join back or does membership within the eca mean jack shit anyway that it doesnt matter?
awkward moment for ed woodward and the juventus chairman if they decide to call it quits on the super league. they just exposed themselves as some of the biggest villains and gave up their positions of power for nothing lel.
also in october woodward explicitly denied any rumours of a super league being formed because he was on the uefa board and he would know. what a fucking snake

holy shit just as i post this woodward resigns!?!?! FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
thank you super league thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I mean, it's crisis averted for now, but I don't imagine it's an end of the saga. Berlusconi wanted this 25 years ago, and Wenger predicted it happening more than a decade ago - without supporting it. Pushing for and implementing a 50+1 model is prolly the only way to sorta-permanently stop the plans.

I'm a bit puzzled why they abandoned it so quickly. They must have expected a heavy backlash, nothing so far is particularly unexpected.

I thought disband could easily happen in a few weeks as the resistance starts forming something more concrete and substantial, but that was never going to happen in a handful of days.

Nah, they will offer up some fake sacrifices to apease the masses but the owners and real decision makers stay the same. Perez resigns at Real, new elections and all of a sudden they are the good guys... I dont really think so...

At least Chelsea will never get invited to a secret club ever again. Which is a good thing!

If you think about it he had zero credibility left in any of his dealings.
This was his big gamble. Tell everyone its not going to happen WHILE you are planning it?
