Gary Neville condemns plans for European Super League

Gary Neville described plans for a new European Super League as “scandalous” and called for the clubs involved to be docked points. 

A group of 12 clubs from England, Spain and Italy have been in discussions about a new competition which would see them leave the Uefa Champions League and instead adopt a controversial format which would give founder clubs protected access to the league.

It is thought Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all supportive of the plans while Manchester City’s position is unclear. Bayern Munich are one of the only major European clubs to have voiced reservations.
