Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to heap praise on James Milner for his comments on the European Super League, following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Leeds.
When quizzed on the elitist organisation, Milner told Sky Sports: ‘I don’t like it and I hope it doesn’t happen.”
Short and sweet from the 35-year-old.
Lineker commended the 61-cap England international for his bravery in going against his employers.
You can see what the BBC Match of the Day host tweeted below.
John W Henry – owner of Liverpool – has been one of the driving forces behind the European Super League.
According to The Times, he will be one of several vice-chairmen on the European Super League committee.
It really is a grim time for football, but a time for people to stand up and be counted.
That is exactly what Milner has done, and he was joined by Patrick Bamford in stating his disapproval of the embarrassing organisation after full-time.
It does take nerve to stand up and go against the people who pay your wages, so Lineker has rightly piled praise on the Liverpool No.7.
Hopefully, those who are driving this horrible plan forward will stop and listen to the outrage across the footballing world.
They simply cannot go ahead with this.
