European Super League backers announce new plans that could impact Liverpool and Everton

The backers of the European Super League have today revealed plans for a new version of the competition which failed two years ago.

Liverpool were one of 12 clubs from across Europe to initially back plans for a proposed European Super League in 2021. However, the Reds soon backed out, as did all other Premier League clubs who had signed up, amid widespread backlash from across the football community. Everton condemned the proposals, with owner Farhad Moshiri calling for the plotters to be punished and declaring: "Every facet of it is against the very idea of British football".

FSG chief and Liverpool’s principal owner John W. Henry even released a video apologising for the club’s initial decision to join the proposed league. Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United had all signed up, before backing out like Liverpool.
