Arsenal Confirmed To Withdraw From European Super League

Recently, Arsenal has confirmed that the club is withdrawing from the current 12-team group that has announced plans for a proposed European Super League on Sunday night. The decision marks a humiliating climbdown for the Kroenke family who had signed us up for the breakaway competition behind the backs of supporters, club staff, players, and the coaching team.

The decision for the u-turn in the Emirates boardroom comes after Manchester City pulled out and also Manchester United announced that CEO Ed Woodward, a major powerbroker in the negotiations, would be stepping down at the end of the season. According to a source, The European Super League will be founded by Florentino Perez, President of Real Madrid, and 14 other founding club owners who want to join the new league. This is strongly opposed by FIFA, UEFA, the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A.

According to the open letter made by Arsenal that mentioned, “The last few days have shown us yet again the depth of feeling our supporters around the world have for this great club and the game we love. We needed no reminding of this but the response from supporters in recent days has given us time for further reflection and deep thought”.

They also added, “It was never our intention to cause such distress, however when the invitation to join the Super League came while knowing there were no guarantees, we did not want to be left behind to ensure we protected Arsenal and its future. As a result of listening to you and the wider football community over recent days, we are withdrawing from the proposed Super League. We made a mistake, and we apologize for it. We know it will take time to restore your faith in what we are trying to achieve here at Arsenal but let us be clear that the decision to be part of the Super League was driven by our desire to protect Arsenal, the club you love, and to support the game you love through greater solidarity and financial stability”.
