‘Big six’ Super League club executives told to leave Premier League sub-committees.
Some executives from the ‘big six’ English sides who pledged to join the Super League have been handed an ultimatum to leave their roles on key Premier League sub-committees.
English and European football was rocked by the recent news with 12 of Europe’s elite clubs planning to join the Super League.
The new Super League was to act as a rival to the Champions League with the 15 founder members planned to be permanent in the annual event regardless of their pitch performance.
The breakaway plan however fell apart and a domino effect saw nine of the 12 clubs who had committed to the event pull out, leaving Barcelona and Real Madrid yet to comment and Juventus announcing their intention to take their place in the competition.
As the fallout continues to take shape, club owners now left with the task of rebuilding bridges with their fans.
The Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has told a number of executives at the six clubs to stand down from their roles on key Premier League sub-committees or risk being relieved of their duties.
