Stan Collymore has given his take on Twitter on Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool reportedly being part of the proposed European Premier League.
The former Liverpool striker is against the idea of the reportedly FIFA-backed European competition, and has criticised the Reds, Arsenal and City for potentially being involved in it.
Collymore has pointed out that neither the Gunners nor the Citizens have won any major European competitions to be considered as part of elite clubs in Europe.
Arsenal won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup back in 1994, and in 1970, the North London club lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. City clinched the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1970.
According to Sky Sports, Premier League giants Liverpool and United are in talks over a new competition that will involve the biggest clubs from Europe and is backed by FIFA.
The report has claimed that ‘as many as five English clubs could sign up to join it’, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur among the candidates.
The report has added that more than 12 teams from England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France are already in talks regarding the formation of the European Premier League, which could kick off in 2022.
Collymore wrote on Twitter: “If any English club joins a European Super League, then they should never be allowed back, ostracised completely and fam groups, real fan groups of those clubs stand up to condemn their club. F*** them off and remind them where their bread was buttered for 100+ years.”
The former Liverpool striker further added, as shown below:
Wait and watch
The report on SkySports.com was published only this afternoon (3:46pm), and it will be interesting to see how the proposal develops.
A European Premier League could potentially affect the UEFA Champions League, and it would also mean that teams playing in the reportedly proposed competition playing more games due to their commitment in their respective domestic leagues.
