Super League organisers are detached from football – Ange

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou criticized the concept of the European Super League, stating that such ideas often originate from individuals who are “detached from what this game is all about.”

He expressed his disapproval, highlighting the disconnect between such proposals and the essence of football. Tottenham was among the clubs initially involved in the Super League in 2021 but withdrew swiftly due to widespread fan protests.

The recent ruling by the European Court of Justice has compelled UEFA to consider proposals for alternative competitions, although the six Premier League teams from the original Super League have distanced themselves from any revival attempt.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has also vowed he will “make sure the European Super League doesn’t happen” if he becomes Prime Minister but Postecoglou believes the plans are a non-starter if fans are not on board.

The Australia said: “The response it got the first time around is a pretty good indicator of where it sits within the footballing fraternity in general.

“That’s always a pretty decent barometer. I always think with these concepts they’re done in a room with people who sometimes are detached from what this game is all about.

“It won’t surprise anyone that I’m fairly conservative with these things. I’m a traditionalist. I don’t like the game changing too much, I don’t like rules changing too much.

“But I guarantee you I won’t be in that room when these kind of concepts are put together. But you have a fairly good barometer of what the most important people — the fans — felt about it and football people in general, so we’ll see what the outcome is.”

Arsenal and Liverpool have released statements affirming their dedication to mainstream European football, following similar declarations from the other four members of the ‘Big Six’ on Thursday.
