As a fan of a small european club compared to the behemoths that tried to form the Super League I find the manufactured backlash hilarious.
You've already made football all about money. Your teams are already owned by faceless mega-corporations, corrupt oligarchs and money launderers. Why not own up to it form your Super league and compete with each other and leave the rest of the clubs alone so they might have a chance at a European title.

But they can't be allowed to fail, it's Barcelona and most tourism goes through the stadium, I imagine UEFA would go crazy if Barcelona wasn't involved in their competitions
?Not for me. Im tired of him apologising tbh
That's too generous. How about John Carver, Frank De Boer or Remi Garde? Win % of 15%, 20% and 13% respectively for their last times managing in the PL.
"...goes without saying but should be said. That the project put forward was never going to stand without the support of the fans..."
Well clearly it was because you signed up to it without consulting the fans.

Me too. We've heard similar apologies from FSG for trying to increase season ticket prices, trying to trademark the word Liverpool and furloughing staff. They don't care about the fans and they'll never care about the fans but they do need the fans onside to push through ideas. I suspect this will be harder than ever from now on.

Anyone who thinks that FSG or Henrys apology is anything but complete BS is an idiot.
Clubs in the PL don't give a **** about their fans beyond the amount of money they generate. Not the big clubs, not the small clubs. If any club could double their revenue and half their fan base they would do it in a second.

I wonder what caused all the teams to drop out in the end because it sure as hell wasn't the fans reaction.
They knew this would be massively unpopular but they thought it would be worth the backlash.
If they cared about the fans they wouldn't increase ticket prices year after year. If they cared about the fans the glazers would never have taken over the club or put EW in charge of transfer policy. If they cared about the fans success on the pitch would be the most important thing to clubs.

The owners probably **** a brick when the government started talking about looking into things. Even though its likely Johnson et. al. would be mostly toothless in this, the owners probably didn't want the possibility of authorities probing their tax arrangements in detail. Plus they all just got paid off by the increased money in the CL by UEFA
870mil but most is the stadium i imagine.
They clearly dont even know the fans if they are trying stunts like this. I still expect the match going fan, hopefully myself if i can get lucky in the ballot, to be protesting when its all back.
I think the reaction of UEFA, FIFA and various governments played a significant part in the decision.
Shows the owners and execs are living in a different world and couldn't give a ****.
I sat a few feet away from Ed Woodward's office in the Man Utd London office for years, he didn't give any of us normal staff the time of day. Glad he is finally going, 7 years too late.
