“Again, people and fans are free to express their feelings, and if they decide to do it that way, we have to respect that and we have to listen to them.
“World football listened to them and that’s why they made the decision afterward to withdraw from the project.”
Chelsea game against Brighton was delayed, and although it was able to proceed uninterrupted, it was overshadowed by events that were happening off the pitch.
As the game inside the stadium rumbled on, it was announced that Chelsea had withdrawn themselves from the project.
Manchester City and the other Premier League sides involved gradually pulled out as well, leaving the plan in tatters.
