Manchester | European soccer’s breakaway Super League project lay in tatters on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) after the six English Premier League clubs involved in the project quit 48 hours after agreeing to join Italian and Spanish teams in the controversial elite competition.
After a storm of protests from fans, players, managers and governments, alongside threats of bans and sanctions from the game’s European and world governing bodies UEFA and FIFA, the English clubs capitulated under pressure and threw in the towel.
