UEFA president says Big Six owners are making a "huge mistake"

:Headline: UEFA president says Big Six owners are making a 'huge mistake':
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered the Government's 'unwavering support' for attempts to prevent the breakaway.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin urged England’s so called ‘Big Six’ to “come to their senses” as Boris Johnson told the football authorities that no action by the Government “is off the table” in seeking to stop the Super League.

The six are within a group of 12 European heavyweights who are founder members of the new competition, threatening to fundamentally alter the shape of football on the continent.

They have faced criticism from within the Premier League, with Everton and Brighton speaking out on Tuesday against the plans. The other 14 English top-flight sides are meeting to discuss a way forward following the weekend’s developments.

There are reports that some executives at the breakaway clubs are getting cold feet after 48 hours of almost unanimous criticism, and Ceferin warned: “Gentlemen, you made a huge mistake.

“All the great steps made in recent years… will have less of a chance of becoming a reality,” she said.

A club statement from Everton was scathing about the Super League signatories.

“The backlash is understandable and deserved – and has to be listened to,” it read.

“This preposterous arrogance is not wanted anywhere in football outside of the clubs that have drafted this plan.

“On behalf of everyone associated with Everton, we respectfully ask that the proposals are immediately withdrawn and that the private meetings and subversive practises that have brought our beautiful game to possibly its lowest ever position in terms of trust end now.”
