The Super League appears to be collapsing. And we were moved to produce a third Mailbox of the day. Send your thoughts to theeditor@football365.com
Boom
Florentino Perez: “The Super League was created to save football.”
Well, they may have just succeeded, just not in the manner he thought.

Whoop
There is an Independence Day movie somewhere in this. With Gary Neville playing the US President.
My God this is a good day for football fans.

Woodward gone?
Suddenly all this ESL bollocks hasn’t turned out too bad.

The incompetence is staggering
So, at time of writing, at least four clubs have dropped out, Ed Woodward will be signing on, players have broken ranks and the Super League is dead…after two days…
What the hell were they playing at? I never expected it to happen, and presumed it was just a negotiation tactic to get a better financial settlement from UEFA and their domestic leagues. The spectacular blowback was completely predictable and the teams couldn’t hold out for two days before capitulating…
And the result? Massive reputational damage…
What’s staggering isn’t the greed of these club executives, it’s how bloody incompetent they are… staggering. The fact that Ed Woodward, the former football club executive, ever ascended to a rank of such power and money just proves what we all already knew – you don’t need a sodding brain to be an investment banker. In fact, it probably helps not to…
Astonishing and comical in equal measure. I hope his head is the first to roll from every one of the Super 11 and their comedy mascot, Tottenham…
Morons… they’ve all made themselves a laughing stock… they’ve made real Tottenhams of themselves… and Tottenhams of all us fools that follow them.
Andy (MUFC – but just barely…)
Hitler etc
So ESL dies on the same day as Hitler. Seems there’s a common theme of what happens when you try to make Europe a private league run by fascists. Only difference is Hitler shot himself in the head, unlike the ESL that endured a two-day bleed-out from shooting themselves in the foot.
Obviously this is a joke, I won’t compare loss of life to loss of football as we know it. But congrats to everyone who’s coming out of this scandal better than they went in. United are rid of Woodward and if they rid themselves of the Glazers, they should be handed the inaugural ESL trophy after winning the damn thing without playing a game.
Don’t forget we fans have a voice that sometimes can’t be ignored. Let’s just use it more forcefully next time FIFA hands a WC to a country rife with human rights abuses. If we could stop the ESL backed by billions, we can stand up for things far more important in football. Racism comes to mind…

Champions?
I hope Liverpool stay in the ESL until all the other clubs have withdrawn, declare themselves the winners and have a nice trophy parade.
Minty, LFC
What now?
Now that the Super League appears to be collapsing, all that’s left to do is punish those involved. Immediate points deductions and transfer bans should do it.

Oh Daniel
Anyone ever watch ‘My Name is Earl’, where the main character wins the lottery but ‘karma’ makes him get hit by a car immediately after and he loses the winning ticket?
That’s Daniel Levy right now.
