European Super League Come Under-fire: All Premier League Clubs Bail Out Overnight

The Super League looks over, as all Premier League clubs confirm their departure after less than two days

All six Premier League clubs have tonight withdrawn from the Super League they formed less than two days ago.

Chelsea and Manchester City began the exodus on Tuesday evening, followed by the resignation of Ed Woodward, Manchester United's executive vice-chairman, who was a key architect of the deal to form the league.

Reports from Spain suggest Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are on the verge of confirming their departure.

Now all remaining English sides – Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham – have bailed out on the project too.

Manchester City were the first to publicly withdraw, but Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham have now made statements confirming they will not be going ahead with the plan.

That would leave just Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan left to compete.

In the two days since the announcement, the Super League has come under fire from supporters, football authorities, the British government, and current players and managers.

Chelsea fans stage a peaceful demonstration outside Stamford Bridge yesterday, carrying protest cards. 

Both Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola criticised the idea before their respective clubs pulled out, while Liverpool players released a joint statement on Tuesday night saying, "We don't like it and we don't want it to happen."
