European Super League
European Super League release first trailer for their controversial competition, boasting 'The new frontier of football' and 'the world's greatest players'… despite WORLDWIDE condemnation and threats of legal action
* Six English football clubs sign up for controversial new European Super League * A promotional video for the breakaway league appeared on YouTube overnight * The European Super League has been described as the 'new frontier of football' * Home to 'world's best players', controversial new plans have stunned the sport * MARTIN SAMUEL: The European Super League is a despicable, plastic competition that threatens the existence of English football The controversial European Super League has been described as the 'new frontier of football' in am underwhelming promotional trailer for the proposed breakaway league. Plans were revealed on Sunday after it emerged that six Premier League teams had signed up to join a breakaway competition 'as soon as is practicable'. Along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham, Spanish sides Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, along with Italian trio Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are looking to create a near closed-shop. The promotional video for the controversial breakaway league called for a 'new frontier' The video, which is 79 seconds long, gave little away as it showed off the teams involved A creative sequence showed off club crests such as Manchester United (pictured) Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are understood to have rejected the idea, although the plan is to expand the league to 15 founding members. Major US bank JP Morgan, a former employer of Manchester United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward, are debt financing the new league which will see founding clubs receive £3.03billion, which is set against future broadcast revenue. Now a first trailer appears has been released on video platform YouTube which has talked up a 'new frontier of football' with the 'world's greatest players'. The trailer, which lasts for 79 seconds, gives little away other than a creative display of the crests for the teams that have signed up. In a statement from the European Super League organisers on Sunday night, confirming earlier reports, it was explained that plans for their inaugural season are to see a 'new mid-week competition'. 'Twelve of Europe's leading football clubs have today [Sunday] come together to announce they have agreed to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs,' the statement began. 'AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs. 'It is anticipated that a further three clubs will join ahead of the inaugural season, which is intended to commence as soon as practicable. 'Going forward, the Founding Clubs look forward to holding discussions with UEFA and FIFA to work together in partnership to deliver the best outcomes for the new League and for football as a whole.' Fans have been promised the 'world's greatest players' for the new breakaway competition. EFA's Champions League is under serious threat of a breakaway league of the top teams It goes on to say that while there is immense criticism at the timing of the announcement with many clubs across Europe's lower leagues crippled financially by the Covid-19 pandemic, the formation of a breakaway league has been 'accelerated' by increasing 'instability'. 'For a number of years, the Founding Clubs have had the objective of improving the quality and intensity of existing European competitions throughout each season, and of creating a format for top clubs and players to compete on a regular basis. 'The pandemic has shown that a strategic vision and a sustainable commercial approach are required to enhance value and support for the benefit of the entire European football pyramid.' In a rare public comment, United co-chairman Joel Glazer brazenly claimed that the closed shop would provide 'increased financial support for the wider football pyramid'. Manchester United and Chelsea were among a group of six Premier League teams announced on Sunday night to join a breakaway European Super League. News of English football's Big Six planning to breakaway will be highly damaging for UEFA and their president Aleksander Ceferin (pictured) A format was also released which said there would be 20 teams and matches would take place in midweek and not affect domestic calendars, with an August start. UEFA, who were due to announce their own proposals for a revamped Champions League on Monday, reacted with fury to the news which had broken earlier on Sunday. A statement, issued jointly with the three governing bodies and leagues involved, said: 'If this were to happen, we will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is founded on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever. 'We will consider all measures available to us, at all levels, both judicial and sporting in order to prevent this happening.' Quote:
