Everton will fight any revised plans for a breakaway European Super League.The club condemned the initial proposals when they were revealed last year, slamming those involved for their “preposterous arrogance”. Chairman Bill Kenwright has now re-iterated the club’s opposition to any future move , accusing those involved of “greed and self-interest”. Among the clubs to speak out at the time was Everton . A statement from the board, referring to the Premier League contingent,
Everton Statement said: “The self-proclaimed Super Six appear intent on disenfranchising supporters across the game – including their own – by putting the very structure that underpins the game we love under threat. The backlash is understandable and deserved – and has to be listened to. This preposterous arrogance is not wanted anywhere in football outside of the clubs that have drafted this plan. On behalf of everyone associated with Everton, we respectfully ask that the proposals are immediately withdrawn and that the private meetings and subversive practices that have brought our beautiful game to possibly its lowest ever position in terms of trust end now.”
