“We received news that some clubs have decided to drop plans for the European Super League, threatening the entire football pyramid. English football has a proud history of opportunities for all clubs and the game is unanimous in its rejection of a closed league There was a proposal that could divide our game, but instead, it unites all of us ”, says the text.
“We would like to thank the fans during that time, especially for their impressive and outspoken voice, maintaining the principles that guided football. It is a powerful reminder that the game is, and always will be, for the fans. ”
