Yesterday saw the announcement of Liverpool’s involvement in the proposed European Super League.
The news broke prior to the clubs return to Premier League action last night in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United.
Plenty of reaction has been seen after the announcement, with fans and pundits outraged over the proposal.
This included former Red Jamie Carragher, who stated he was sickened by Liverpool’s involvement.
Carragher’s feelings are echoed by the footballing world, and clearly by the members of staff at the club.
According to freelance journalist David Lynch, a meeting with the clubs staff was meant to take place this morning.
The idea was supposedly to explain the owners decision to joint he European Super League and their plans.
However, Lynch reports that the meeting has since been cancelled by the clubs Chief Executive Billy Hogan…
What this spells for the clubs position in the European Super League is unknown.
The decision to cancel the meeting came after the full-time whistle against Leeds last night.
This is likely due to Jurgen Klopp and James Milner’s comments over the decision, with the pair openly against the proposal.
Hopefully, this spells a decision to reverse the involvement of the club in the league.
The concept of the ESL goes against everything that Liverpool Football Club represents.
Not only Liverpool, but football as a sport is for the people, it is about fair game and respect, it’s about the small teams becoming giant killers overnight.
The European Super League proposal removes everything enjoyable about the sport.
If this meeting does have a deeper meaning that the owners are thinking twice about their decision, then that can only be seen as good news.
