European Super League announced; collapses

Okay, Spurs ended up winning with a penalty, but now City, Inter and Juventus are all trailing 1-0 😂

[OctoberRaven]

So, we're toppling the MLS and the USSF that enables it now, right?

Heads gone. Romano has done some rough live tweeting of the interview.

Props to Mr Perez, he said that the 16-20 year old demographics don't have much attention span for football anymore, so he created a league which barely lasted 4 days.

[Nerf]

Honestly, once all this is over can we get Perez on Gogglebox or something? His insanity has been box office stuff.

[Colly]

This stuff about the top clubs losing money while the bottom clubs make it is hilarious, especially when combined with the Alaba signing.

LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - JPMorgan said on Friday it regretted supporting soccer clubs in launching a breakaway European Super League after the plan collapsed earlier this week amid intense criticism from fans and politicians.

"We clearly misjudged how this deal would be viewed by the wider football community and how it might impact them in the future," a representative for the bank said. "We will learn from this."

JPMorgan provided a 3.5 billion euro ($4.2 billion) grant to the founding clubs to spend on infrastructure and recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The plan collapsed on April 21 - less than 48 hours from being announced - with eight of the 12 founding members from England, Italy and Spain walking away.

On the plus side for Arsenal fans, by merit of alphabetical order, Arsenal are going to end up as de facto 2021 ESL champions.

If there's ever a celebrity football league, that should absolutely be a team name.

Also a good celebrity football name: Miami Guillermo Del Toros.
