Why fans of Liverpool can now lawfully obstruct any Super League move

Now that a second European Super League is being considered, supporters of Liverpool can prevent their team from entering.

The European Court of Justice’s decision on Thursday caught many off guard and led the A22 Sports Management company to announce preparations for an additional ESL.

Although this created a commotion, analysts of the CJEU’s conclusions don’t think the decision significantly improves the competitive position of A22.

Like the five other English clubs that were initially interested, Liverpool has since made a statement in which it states: “Liverpool FC’s previous stance on a proposed European Super League is unaffected by yesterday’s ruling by the European Court of Justice.”

“We have ceased to be involved.” We’ll keep up our collaboration with other teams via the ECA and take part in UEFA events.

Because the club incorporated a supporters board into its Articles of Association in 2022, Liverpool fans now possess the power to veto the team’s decision to join an ESL, regardless of the club’s intentions.

This was a response to the club’s unsuccessful attempt to breakaway to an ESL the year before. Fans should now have the last word in these decisions.

There are ten Spirit of Shankly representatives on the sixteen-member board. Joe Blott, the previous Chair of SOS, was involved in it.

“We could stop the ESL happening again,” he said to This Is Anfield, adding that “it gives fans the right to veto when we need to.”

This is because the owners must now obtain permission in order to play home games away from Anfield or join a breakaway league.

Blott clarified, saying that “fan consent is required for any existential issues that affect the football club, such as a ground share, ground move, or move to a breakaway league.”

Furthermore, I believe that safeguarding not only our current interests but also the interests of football fans in the future is the primary component of this.

“The club intends to guarantee that the articles of association genuinely incorporate that degree of involvement.”

This implies that subsequent owners will be bound by the same regulations following the departure of Fenway Sports Group.

Although they can’t stop a European Super League from being suggested or established, Liverpool fans can make sure the Reds aren’t included.

Standing as one of the top four clubs in the world, this may influence prospective members. Naturally, that also doesn’t stop FIFA or UEFA from creating their own tournaments that resemble a mini-Super League.

“Get a life!” An hero of Liverpool FC slams Roy Keane over Virgil van Dijk’s remarks following the Manchester United match

After Sunday’s 0-0 Premier League tie with Liverpool, the former Man United midfielder called Virgil van Dijk “arrogant.”

Following Roy Keane’s altercation with Virgil van Dijk at Manchester United, former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson has encouraged Keane to “get a life.”

After a hard-fought 0-0 draw on Sunday, Keane took issue with Van Dijk, the Liverpool defender, saying that United were “buzzing” to leave Anfield with a point. The Dutch defender maintained that Liverpool was clearly the better team on the day and that just one team was attempting to win the match.

After the game, Keane called Van Dijk’s remarks “arrogant” on Sky Sports and brought up the difficult times Liverpool had previously faced. The analyst also made a subtle jab at Jurgen Klopp’s team by pointing out that they had only won one Premier League championship in the previous thirty years.

Van Dijk responded to the criticism in a composed manner, but legendary Liverpool player Thompson was not impressed. Reacting negatively to Keane’s remarks, he told the former United player to ‘get a life’.

Thompson told talkSPORT, “I just think he was giving his opinion. I don’t think he was arrogant.” “As Gary [Neville] expresses his viewpoint, so does Roy. It was by no means haughty. It was, in my opinion, frustration.

“It seems like you’ve come off that game feeling incredibly frustrated, even though you know you dominated and Manchester United only had that one chance with [Rasmus] Hojlund. There was no conceit in it.

And Roy Keane talking about people’s arrogance—come on, please, do me a favour. I also adore Roy.However, when I played that back to him, he continued to repeat the word. Please, Roy, have a life!
