The European Super League seems to be falling apart, and Newcastle takeover figure Mehrdad Ghoudoussi is thrilled.
News about the European Super League first broke on Sunday afternoon, before an official announcement that evening.
Ever since then, social media has been a sea of rage and anger at the proposal.
Ghodoussi was critical of the plans on Monday, stating on Twitter: ‘There is a line that should not be crossed when you begin to endanger the essence of the game and it’s competitive nature.’
Just 48 hours after the breakaway league was announced, the plans seem to be in tatters.
Both Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly set to withdraw, while Manchester United chairman Ed Woodward is set to resign.
The European Super League dream seems to be crumbling, much to the joy of football fans far and wide.
The proposed plan was a danger to the beautiful game, and seeing it fall apart is a joy to behold.
Ghodoussi, who is a partner at PCP Capital Partners who want to buy Newcastle, has reacted to the latest news on Twitter.
He is not the only Newcastle takeover figure to react to the news, as Jamie Reuben has also commented on the matter.
Ghodoussi and Reuben have summed up how fans are feeling about the latest developments.
Common sense seems to have prevailed, but it never should have come to this.
The Premier League’s ‘big six’ have shown their true colours. However, Toon fans knew of this all along. Amanda Staveley said as such when the takeover collapsed last summer.
Now Newcastle fans will be praying that the takeover is passed through so we can close the huge gap between ourselves and the elite sides in England.
But first, Premier League survival must be confirmed.
