Arsenal lämnar också The Super League

Manchester City var den första klubben som officiellt meddelade att man lämnar The Super League - som föddes i söndags men som dog idag efter 48 timmar av massiva protester från fotbollsfans från hela världen.
Chelseas fans protesterade högljutt utanför Stamford Bridge före matchen mot Brighton & Hove Albion.
Och nu har även Arsenals ledning gett upp.
Det blir ingen jävla superliga!

Klubben meddelade i ett statement att man drar sig ur projektet - och nu hoppas vi en gång för alla att den här idén begravs för gott.
Ingen vill ha en NHL-inspirerad fotbollsliga.
Jo, de amerikanska ägarna.
Men ingen i Europa vill ha dem!

Precis före midnatt så bad klubben om ursäkt och säger att man lyssnat på sina supportrar. Ett desperat rop på hjälp - och förståelse för att de gjort bort sig rejält.
Så här skriver de:

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.

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 apologise 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.

Stability is essential for the game to prosper and we will continue to strive to bring the security the game needs to move forward.

The system needs to be fixed. We must work together to find solutions which protect the future of the game and harness the extraordinary power football has to get us on the edge of our seats.

Finally, we know this has been hugely unsettling at the end of what has been an incredibly difficult year for us all.

Our aim is always to make the right decisions for this great football club, to protect it for the future and to take us forward. We didn’t make the right decision here, which we fully accept.

We have heard you.

Hade de brytt sig om sina supportar hade de frågat oss först vad vi tycker om en stängd europeisk superliga.
Eftersom de uppenbarligen inte fattat tidigare.

Alla andra engelska lag har också meddelat att de drar sig ur projektet.

So far: 1-0 till oss!
