Twelve of football’s most powerful clubs faced accusations of greed and cynicism on Monday as they announced a breakaway European Super League that could have far-reaching implications for the game.

“Our members and football supporters across the world have experienced the ultimate betrayal,” the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust said.The ESL said the founding clubs had agreed to create a “new midweek competition” to start “as soon as practicable” but that they would continue to play in their domestic leagues.

“I think they’re in a desperate situation. One of the things they haven’t done during the pandemic is to impose some sort of wages control. They’ve got themselves into a bit of a predicament.”Under the plan, two groups of 10 will play each other home and away, with the top three qualifying for the quarter-finals. The fourth and fifth-based teams would play off for the two remaining spots.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the clubs “must answer to their fans and the wider footballing community before taking any further steps”. “Fans of any club in England and across Europe can currently dream that their team may climb to the top and play against the best,” it said.‘Lots more to do’
