Leicester players take stand against disgusting Super League proposal

Some Leicester City players have rightfully decided to take a stand against the new, disgraceful European Super League move.

I haven’t spoken to or seen anyone back the Super League yet; barring a couple of suspected trollers on twitted – standard.

Certainly us Foxes fans aren’t appreciative that our beloved club’s prowess and challenge to the establishment would consequently mean they’d pick up their metaphorical ball and run home. Before calling all their mates for support!

But it’s not all doom and gloom, for example, Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana seemingly took an averse stance in opposition to the apparent league. Fofana retweeted quite a few anti-ESL posts on Twitter; and he also appeared to cryptically condemn it when an announcement was made Sunday night. You can see that tweet below.

Prior to the scheme being signalled, Leicester goalkeeper and on-field captain, Kasper Schmeichel, also made his feelings clear on the matter:

"“A club like Leicester, being able to do what we’ve done over the 10 years I’ve been here, it’s something unique and I’d hate to see a system put in place where the smaller clubs or the underdogs may not be able to get the limelight.”– Kasper SchmeichelVia Leicestershire Live"

Leicester City news and views

If you want my personal view on whether this new competition proposition will become a reality – then no, I don’t think it will. Yet because the six are intent on breaking away to form it, they won’t relent easily. Appeasement will probably come in the form of forced reform of the existing two major European club tournaments, the Europa League and the Champions League.

Incidentally, Boris Johnson has now thrown his two cents into the mix; the British Prime Minister thinks the proposal is detrimental to the game and threw his hefty support behind football authorities – presumably the F.A. and Premier League – in blocking the move.

In addition, Johnson – employing a position which will surely win him some votes from sports fans – stated he believes English clubs should have consulted the supporters before agreeing to the changes. Thankfully the PM and his cabinet are planning to stop the acquisitive ESL idea!
