European Super League plans set to be announced with six English teams involved

Six English teams are expected to be part of plans for a breakaway European Super League, with an announcement due on Sunday night, Sky News understands. Among the English clubs involved are Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

The project has been launched to rival UEFA's Champions League format which currently dominates European football.

The Premier League's chief executive Richard Masters has written to all 20 of the league's clubs in England to state its opposition to the new project. Mr Masters told the 20 that "this venture cannot be launched without English clubs and we call upon any club contemplating associating themselves or joining this venture to walk away immediately before irreparable damage is done".

Champions League is already a great competition. We don't need this s**t.

[hamzahkingali]

u know its serious when Roy and Micah agree

[realm]

FIFA calling people greedy is the most hysterical thing ever.

[connorllewellyn]

We’re all going to condemn this super league but I guarantee that when it happens sky will be the first to get their finger in the pie

[sheik]

If this happens, it will be the beginning of the end. All us fans have been abused enough.

[leoatherton]

I’m a Liverpool fan and I’m praying this doesn’t happen this will destroy football it’s just pure greed us fans need to step up and do something about this it’s an absolute disgrace

[maxschmidt]

As an Arsenal fan it just makes me ashamed that my club would show the greed and lust for wealth to back such a project

[sebastianelytron]

Leicester will run away with the league every season 😂

[mixfcb]

I feel like the super league will cause more fatigue and will prevent youth academy development since you are playing big teams all the time also less time for tactical adjustments.

[danorm]

Do all you can Premier League and Uefa to stop this at once!

[farnhigh]

I'm an Arsenal fan since 2004, i really love this club with all ups and downs, but i really want these teams to be punished, relegated, even don't recognized anymore.

[razer]

Real Madrid 5 - Arsenal 0, Barcelona 5 - Arsenal. DT - "When's it gonna end Robbie" 😂😂😂

[aaronantao]

Papa Wenger actually said in an interview Super League would destroy the every other domestic league

[hubbelizer]

As a Liverpool fan I'm disgusted by my club's greed

[kniveslives]

The fact that leicester and west ham are not gonna be in here despite their places in the pl table and how arsenal are gonna be there despite being litteraly midtable shows that this is just a money grab. And even as a chelsea fan myself this doesn't feel right at all it feels dirty and disgraceful and I really hope they call this off because this is just gonna ruin football itself

[danio]

Making the rich richer, and keeping the others poor.

[JoeHawthorne]

"Theyre overworking us!!!! These schedules are ridiculous youre killing
...

The Premier League was formed breaking away from English FA divisions for the sake of cash, wasn't it? CL evolved out of other European formats for the sake of cash. Do FIFA have the right to prevent players from playing for their national teams? Think they would have trouble getting that through courts.
Not in favour of a new league, but it's a bit ridiculous hearing all these multi-millionaires squabble about money going into someone else's pocket rather than their own...

[paranoidandroid]

As a Liverpool fan of 17 years, if this happens I’ll be finding myself another team to support. This would ruin football

[chinchu]

The beginning of the end of the beautiful game of football.
