Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham have all pledged their commitment to the existing competitions they play in, while the Premier League has rejected the European Super League concept following Thursday’s European Court of Justice ruling.
On Thursday, judges said UEFA rules blocking the formation of a new competition, such as the European Super League, were contrary to EU law – but added that the competition may still not be approved.
The Premier League said: “The ruling does not endorse the so-called ‘European Super League’ and the Premier League continues to reject any such concept.

Live in jeda for us our chief reporter carve solicor carve good evening again how have the Premier League clubs reacted to all of this well the Premier League clubs have come out and said that we are not interested in joining a European Super League even though six of them uh two
And a half years ago were very very interested in joining a European Super League just in the last few minutes uh we’ve had statements from clubs like Manchester City uh Spurs and also Chelsea now and the statements are very very similar what they basically say is
That we are committed to playing in UEFA competitions uh we are committed to working closely with the European Club association uh and also our position has not changed we’ve also heard from Manchester United earlier today they said exactly the same thing their position hasn’t changed they are committed to playing in UEFA
Competitions and the ECA we also heard from the Premier League the Premier League said it was a significant verdict in uh Luxembourg today but their position hasn’t changed they are totally opposed to the setting up of any Breakaway uh leagues I think what’s interesting is that basically what’s
Happened today in Luxembourg is that these 15 judges have come out and said to clubs across Europe if you want to create a European Super League you can go away and try and create a European Super League the problem is there are no clubs really who want to set up a
European Super League at the moment except the clubs behind a22 sport who are Real Madrid and Barcelona and used to be Juventus as well before they dropped out I know a22 sport are celebrating today of course this is a significant victory for them but until they can get clubs on board their
Project is really not going anywhere and even when they do get clubs on board there’ll still be some very very significant hurdles for them to clear not least the strong feeling of fans all across Europe before their crazy dream to set up this European Super League
That people have been trying to set up for 30 40 50 years comes to fruition yeah but hold on car all these clubs scrambling over themselves to say no we don’t want any part of this I want to take you to golf live golf John Ram I’m
Not playing in live golf he’s just signed for gazillions of pounds any chance the Saudis could get involved and back a European Super League well I’ve been asking the question here in jeda the people I’ve been speaking to have been saying to me at the moment there is very little
Chance that Saudi Arabia would provide the financing for the setting up of a breakaway European Super League they say to me the Saudis at the moment we’re very interested in developing our own Saudi pro league we’re very interested in developing women’s sport here setting up a women’s national team which they’ve
Done setting up a Women’s Premier League which they’ve done and they will also say that our Focus really long term is on the World Cup here in 2034 and reading between the lines Mike uh Saudi Arabia at the moment is very very close to FIFA uh there’s been uh the FIFA Club
World Cup is being held here the World Cup is going to be here uh there was a FIFA football Summit here today there was a FIFA council meeting a few days ago I don’t think the Saudi Arabians will want to do anything to antagonize or upset or rock the boat
When it comes to their relationship with FIFA but make no mistake there are people out there who will want to finance the setting up of a European Super League because unfortunately modern day football is all about money it’s a business they’re lots of people out there trying to make money out of
Football trying to exploit any uh angle that they can and I’m sure they’re going to be lots of meetings in hotels behind closed doors schemes plots trying to get clubs on board but today what the clubs are saying basically pretty much United uh apart from clubs like Real Madrid and
Barcelona is our position has not changed we are not interested in joining this Breakaway but the question I’ve got is Will money finally talk I think what has happened today is that this verdict is sign ific because if it had gone the other way then this dream of a European
Super league would have died once and for all but a22 Sport and the European Super League company have won this significant verdict which means they live to fight another day and I think FIFA and UEFA are worried they feel that they’ve lost an important battle but I think they’re quietly confident that in
The end they will win the war any European Super League project if you go back to 2 and a half years ago it needed it needed the might the power of the Premier League clubs those six clubs were massive in terms of their Global appeal but their appeal here in Europe I
I’m trying to think of analogy of where a22 Real Madrid Barcelona are today and I think with this ecj ruling they’ve been given a nice shiny bus Mike but that bus hasn’t got an engine it hasn’t got any tires it hasn’t got any Wheels it hasn’t got any fuel and it hasn’t got
Any seats because there aren’t any passengers on board and in this country come next year a law will be written off will be written through Parliament the football governance bill which includes as car was mentioning earlier the independent regulator that independent regulator has the power to stop any
Football club in England from breaking away from the domestic leagues and joining a breakout like a European Super League because supporters through this for example in the UK here through law they have a voice and they have some power and the football politicians realize this and they’ve got them on
Side got them on board so I just don’t know where anybody is going to get on board the a22 Real Madrid Barcelona bus and join them I just can’t see it happening and UK law as far as English clubs go it ain’t happening

As soon as city get found guilty of their charges they’ll threaten to jump ship to get a lesser punishment
Kind of a dumb idea this European SuperLeague tbh, I'm not really a big fan of it either! 😄👍 I mean over in Greece they call it the Greek SuperLeague. ✌️🇬🇷🙂
This would kill the Premier League, the best league in the world and most competitive. Money will sadly talk and the fans, true fans will lose out.
Didn’t the existing premier league a breakaway from the 1st division. All us fans that support Prem teams, literally support clubs that have already done this before.
Dear Arsenal, please join this breakaway league….they hate you in the epl….you would have won the league last season regardless of the deep in form towards the end….you've lost 6 points already in this campaign due to poor var decisions
Imagine being stupid enough to sign up for super league then get kicked out out of your domestic league and have to compete with Saudi oil money teams not bound by ffp.
No one thought Brexit would happen. The wheels turn very quickly and FIFA cannot be trusted
Liverpool wins
Dont believe me ?
Just go look back at any Premier league games views ,
Liverpool win every single time
So Barcelona tryna sort out their financial difficulties by any mean necessary
It's a business battle for product over product. Nothing to do with the fans.
Super league is stupid idk why they are bringing it back
Is absolutely not
It's no surprise that liverpool and arsenal haven't rejected it and maybe considering this when they got robbed by VAR week in week out, just for man city to challenge and win it again. Hope that with existence of super league, these corrupt FA/UEFA/FIFA finally get humbled and wake up that there's a competitor.
1:22 Moyes won the club's first ever European trophy. They're 8th in the PL and doing well in the Europa League. Whatelse do people want from West Ham?
The clubs involved, the owners, the shareholders are all just blissfully burying their heads in the sand and hoping for a big payoff.
But, the fans – the people who make football what it is – don’t want anything to do with it
Would football authorities decided if the players could not be picked for their countries and not allowed to play in european Cup games.And if it falls apart in say 5 years time ,if they want back in would they have start at the bottom division. They have opened a chapter in the game that may backfire big-time. One word Greed.
Given that Liverpool were the club of the six that put the most measures in place to show that they won't join a super league like this unless it is the will of the fans…
I think it is very safe to say that they also are committed to their existing competition.
European Super League = MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER. NOBODY. AND I MEAN NOBODY WANTS THIS OTHER THAN AMERICAN CLUB OWNERS TO GUARANTEE that they stay at the Top.
Utd fan and I don't class Utd as one of the big 6 anymore.
I know for a fact, my team will never never go to the super league because we don’t have any money but well done to the Premier League teams who said we are not going. I hope the super league never happens that well the European football will die if any of us happens
Super league is important… PGMOL destroyed PL
Stop crying sky sports hahaha we will gonna watch the matches for free no more monopoly 😂😂😂
Liverpool and Arsneal should be deducted points. Disgrace to football.
I think the UK teams are overestimating their influence. I mean they hardly even dominate European competitions
You couldn't get a more greedy ownership than the Glazers who were the first to reject this, probably because of what happened a few years ago but it;s very early days, there's lots of money to be made, get ready for greed wins and a u turn at some point, why would you not take £5 billion for a full sale, it's not because you love the club, somethings brewing in the future.
Lets enjoy the best teams, you can rest English teams
Yeah, no it's the UEFA they're against not national leagues. I feel like no one has actually taken the time to check what the format is. People be do jumping on "closed competition" and "break away", thanks Sky Sports!! You can still dislike it, but at least know what is it that you dislike
What the hell is wrong with these people??
@onehandedgamer8431
What’s so great about the Premier League ??
It might be exciting from time to time, but it’s an “anything goes” league with a management and refereeing structure that is OPAQUE and not accountable – it’s plagued by the worst VAR decisions thinkable, and no retrospective action is even taken when they admit they got it wrong –
How can anyone but into such a hotpotch that seems to lack true sporting integrity
If it wasn’t for some deep-diving journalism, and governmental pressure, they probably wouldn’t be charging any of the Big Six – but now they have to be seen to be done something
Just give them City and we’ll crack on 👍
Me too. As a Liverpool fan in South Pacific, Liverpool FC is better remain with UEFA.
5:00 "power of six premier league club" 😂 all I see only one power, it's Manchester United. If United says no, the rest will follow.
United and Chelsea would have no chance of ever winning anything
If Man Utd go into the super league then I won’t support them anymore
Never gunner happen 🥱🥱🥱
