SINGAPORE: The move to join the proposed European Super League is a move which prioritises money and risks alienating fan bases, said local ...

Six Premier League teams - Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur - are involved in the European Super League, alongside Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

"It’s like they already expected this backlash, seems like they are just waiting for it to tide over and not putting a face behind the statement,” added Khairul, who is part of the Blues’ local fan club and has supported them for about two decades. “I feel like for me personally, I have invested enough in the Asian game, the Southeast Asian game, that I can get my football fix from there. I love my local team, I love the Asian Champions League. I have no intention of following this cash grab,” he said.For one, Parmar noted that the move would alienate fans who might not be able afford supporting their teams at away games in Europe.

The clubs said they would all"continue to compete in their respective national leagues, preserving the traditional domestic match calendar which remains at the heart of the club game". Manchester United fan Haiqal Haffis noted that the competitiveness and unpredictability of the Premier League also adds an extra level of excitement for the fans.

“Once you’re in the Super League … there won’t be any opportunities for the youngsters. It will be definitely harder for the youths to break through … There won’t be any space for them to prove themselves,” he explained.
