from The Athletic

The Premier League has asked executives from the ‘big six’ English clubs associated with the Super League to step down from committee positions.

 

The Athletic understands Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, approached executives from Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool following their involvement in the now-abandoned European Super League.

 

Tottenham Hotspur, the sixth club, are not represented on any of the Premier League committees.

Who has been asked to step down?

Manchester United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward, Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham, Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano and Liverpool chairman Tom Werner have all been asked to step down from their positions on Premier League committees.

 

It is believed the Premier League is also looking to remove Woodward and Liverpool executive Tom Werner from its Club Broadcast Advisory Group.

Why has Masters requested this?

This follows yesterday's angry meeting of the 14 Premier League clubs which are not involved in the Super League.

 

They believe these ‘big six’ executives —bar Tottenham who are not represented on any Premier League committees — have acted in bad faith by taking part in sensitive talks and negotiations whilst conspiring behind the other clubs' backs.

 

The other 14 clubs and the Premier League board believe these executives have breached two specific rules, namely B.16 which states that “in all matters and transactions relating to the League each Club shall behave towards each other Club and the League with the utmost good faith" and L9 which says: "Except with the prior written approval of the Board, during the Season a Club shall not enter or play its senior men's first team in any competition other than: the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, the FA Cup, the FA Community Shield, the Football League Cup or competitions sanctioned by the County Association of which it is a member."

What does this mean for the 'big six'?

As it stands, these are the only responses from the Premier League to the Super League crisis and they are directed at individuals as opposed to the clubs they represent.

 

Some of the other Premier League clubs would like to go further with more significant sanctions, including punishments for the Super League clubs themselves.

 

At the moment, however, there is no consensus on what they would be or even if they are justified, given the fact the Super League plan collapsed so quickly.

 

Whether these moves to remove key individuals will be the end of it, though, will depend on how quickly the other clubs move on and also how contrite the 'big six' are.

 

It is possible that calls for more serious sanctions may return if the Premier League's auction for TV rights, for example, were to go badly.

Not sure why you quoted me.

It's like the media have been told to go easy on the six, "it's not the fan's fault..punish CEO's not the fans/players" etc.

This fucking stinks of some sort of set up to me.

We are being played somehow.

Newcastle are in a position now with some leverage. They could “not” vote for sanctions against the 6 in a quid pro quo situation. It’s a little underhanded but then the whole thing is so who cares if we can get what we want.

They posted a tiktok of Matt Ritchie hitting the corner flag with 'Super League' written on the flag... There may've been a statement too.

I think its a case of "treason doth never prosper" with this being brushed under the carpet.

Returning to the status quo is a return to the same broken system that proved fertile ground for this crisis but because certain people benefit from that, a blind eye will be once again turned. Its just the media and fans of those clubs at the moment that I know of. Media has done well from the cartel domestically almost every pundit either supports, played for or can only be bothered to watch games involving those clubs.

Its like another quote about "when they came for the socialists, i remained quiet because i wasn't a socialist' - they were only bothered by how broken the game is when it effected them. Rangers, Leeds, Newcastle, Blackpool and Blackburn was just part of the show to them.

Well that's where he lived, and his family live, so possibly?

All of these CEOs being asked to leave premier league committees.. and Sky are still not asking the right questions. I haven't heard the word scapegoat once. Absolute joke.

I'm thinking it's just a huge set up this, everyone is in bed with each other, the media is in on it..sky knows they need the 'big 6' for views, that's why they aren't calling for proper sanctions. 

Dunno, feel totally uneasy about all this.

Perez lying for fun in an interview again. It's a shame he'd never do this with a media member who would challenge him. Must be absolutely awful to work with.

What's the daft cunt saying now?

A few apolgies and all is forgiven and they're not even real apologies - apologizing for causing disruption and anguish, not apologizing for what they did or saying what they did was wrong. Like "I'm sorry if my theiving has been interperetted as being liable to cause any offense"
