The 12 team European Super league has suffered a major set-back in the fact that half of those teams have now taken an exit from the competition. All of England’s “Big 6” have withdrawn from the Super league following a huge amount of fan protests.

Manchester City were the first team to announce their departure from the newly formed league and the other clubs followed soon. It was a startling collapse which began with news that Chelsea, who were playing Brighton at a Stamford Bridge surrounded by protesters, were about to abandon the project.

We made a mistake, and we apologise for it.

We can confirm that we have formally commenced procedures to withdraw from the group developing proposals for a European Super League (ESL).#THFC ⚪️ #COYS

Chelsea confirmed they have “begun the formal procedures for withdrawal from the group” that they only joined “late last week”.

 “We have now had time to consider the matter fully and have decided that our continued participation in these plans would not be in the best interests of the club, our supporters or the wider football community.” – said Chelsea’s official statement.

UEFA have welcomed these 6 clubs back to their competitions and wants the other 6 clubs to follow suit and remain a part of their European competitions.

The future of the Super League now rests in the hands of the Non premier League clubs who are still yet to exit the league. although there have been reports that Barcelona, AC Milan and Inter Milan are on the brink of quitting the league no official statement has been made by each of these clubs.
