Six Premier League clubs withdraw from Super League following backlash

Published

on

The dream for the world’s most elite football clubs is going down in flames, now that all the premier league sides have backed out.

Any club involved in the the ‘European Super League’, that has been dubbed the billionaire boys club, will have to face consequences.

That was the warning from Football’s ruling authority earlier this week. 

Coaches, fans and players protested their outrage for a break-away league.

Manchester City was the first club to cut the cord, less than 48 hours after the super league founders said this would save football.

Like a domino, five other English Premier League teams backed down after UEFA warned they’d be banned from every competition.

It’s hard to imagine the super league can still proceed ahead without any English sides.

Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman resigned from the top job, with calls for the rich owners of the other Premier League Clubs to step down too.

John Henry, the owner of Liverpool FC, took full responsibility and issued an apology to fans, players and Jürgen Klopp.

To say fans were excited their clubs made a back-flip and are boycotting the super league…is an understatement…

The fantasy league is being shattered by those at the heart of English football.

So, no matter how much money is at stake, the clubs are nothing without their supporters.

And despite the disaster, this has united fans together, speaking as one… for the love of football.

Rafa Nadal pulls out of French Open

The Spaniard has failed to regain full fitness from a hip injury sustained earlier this year

Rafa Nadal has delivered news that no tennis fan wanted to hear.

The King of Clay will miss the French Open after failing to regain full fitness from a hip injury suffered at the Australian Open back in January.

The 14-time Roland Garros winner says he expects to retire following the 2024 season.

Nadal has dominated the clay court season for close to two decades.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion fronted a widely anticipated press conference at his tennis academy in Mallorca to drop the bombshell, saying its the right thing to do for his body and personal happiness.

“I’ll look to be 100% ready for next year, which I believe will be the last year of my professional career,” Nadal told a news conference at his tennis academy in Mallorca, Spain.

“The evolution of the injury I sustained in Australia has not gone as I would have liked. I have lost goals along the way, and Roland Garros becomes impossible.”

“I’ll not establish a date for my return. I’ll see how my body responds and take it from there,” said the 36-year-old. “If I keep playing at this moment, I don’t think I can be there next year.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back in the highest level and compete for Grand Slams. What I will try to do is to give myself the opportunity to go back to what could be my final year competing at the highest level.”

China expresses concerns about ‘politicisation of sports’

The East Asian nation raised the issue when Premier Li met with the head of the IOC, Thomas Bach

China has expressed concerns to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) about the politicisation of sporting events.

The issue was raised when Chinese Premier Li Qiang met Thomas Bach, the head of the IOC, in Beijing over the weekend.

“China’s efforts to promote the Olympic spirit will never cease, and [China is] ready to work with IOC to oppose the politicisation of sports, and make further contributions to the Olympic movement,” Li said.

It is rare for China to raise such concerns with the IOC in public, and it was the first time it had made such comments since the Winter Olympics in Beijing early last year.

The United States and several of its allies took part in a diplomatic boycott of the Games, citing alleged human rights abuse in China’s far west region of Xinjiang.

Beijing has repeatedly denied the accusation and said it opposes any attempts to politicise sporting events.

Tasmania will have a team in the AFL after all 18 current teams agreed to the motion

An exciting day for residents of the Australian state of Tasmania today.

Outgoing AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan confirming Tasmania has been granted the league’s 19th licence.

It follows the nation’s federal government confirming it will cover the $240 million shortfall to fund a new multi-purpose stadium at Macquarie Point.

This has long been viewed as Tasmania’s most significant hurdle for entry into the league.

All 18 clubs supported the state’s bid, before the AFL Commission agreed to a formal ratification.

McLachlan fronted a press conference at North Hobart Oval, alongside Premier Jeremy Rockliff, Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles and a whole host of players.

The CEO says the decision “will finally make [the] competitions truly national”. #trending #featured
