The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the clubs, which include Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs, 'must answer to their fans' before launching the 'very damaging' change.
He said the European Super League was not 'good news for fans' and he would work with the football authorities 'to make sure this doesn't go ahead in the way that it's currently being proposed'. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden will make a statement in the Commons on the Super League plans on Monday afternoon. The rich founders of the proposed European Super League have today rushed to court to try to force through their £3.5billion plans financed by US banking giant JP Morgan despite English fans and football legends crying 'betrayal' and declaring war 'for the soul of football'. Mr Johnson said football clubs were more than 'great global brands', they needed to have a link with their fans and communities, with supporters already threatening to tear up season tickets and protest outside stadiums in huge numbers if the 'money-grabbing' owners pursue it. Manchester United legend Gary Neville has laid into the club's American owners. He said: 'It's pure greed, they're impostors. The owners of Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City have nothing to do with football in this country. The fans that come into this ground are the people who matter. Forget them [Glazers] they're nothing to do with this club in terms of the actual history of the club and the long-term future. I would come down on them like a ton of bricks'. Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's most successful manager who is still on the club's board said: 'Talk of a Super League is a move away from 70 years of European club football. In my time at United, we played in four Champions League finals and they were always the most special of nights.'
