stamford bridge against the proposed super league-— super league.nscious of the situation you're in. we _ super league. i am conscious of the situation you're in. we don't - super league. i am conscious of the situation you're in. we don't want i situation you're in. we don't want any kind of language coming across but i will ask you a second question. it seems like it is disbursing the little bit. one of the things about this is they spend nothing from the owners really so far on these plans. —— there has been nothing from the owners. silence at the moment from the owners and chairman and chief executives of the english clubs involved. we've only heard from florentino perez of real madrid about the proposed super league. the floor is open for the fans instead to get their voices heard and also the with last night with leads, tonight we will hear from managers and players about what they think and players about what they think and but at the moment as you say, nothing yet from the hierarchies of the clubs who are threatening to break away from the c

would have actually gather indeed a place to play in the premier league that is the super league in the premier league they would have got a guaranteed place which is not the case right now are a good thing see where this goes from here i think is always in frankfurt. you know some of the other business stories making headlines around the world. shares and netflix tumbled 12 percent in after hours trading that's after the company missed its subscriber growth target for the last quarter investors ignore the company's huge leap in revenue after raising prices last year that will explain pandemic related production delays for what it calls a quote lighter content slate than usual. the e.u. will impose a 56 percent import tariff on harley-davidson motorcycles from the u.s. the move is part of a trade dispute started by the trump administration in 2018 the company says it legally challenge the measure which is due to take effect in june. production of russia sputnik the coronavirus vaccine has begun in argentina that according to christian officials argentina has been struggling to get co

the fact that the proposed european super league seems to be in trouble. in from the moment are arsenal and spurs from london and in the north are manchester united and liverpool. the plan was that this league would be created with three more founding clubs and five others would qualify to enter the super league each year. those 15 would not have to qualify. they would be guaranteed to play their biggest rivals every year with all of the consequences that might follow. earlier on, spain issued a temporary injunction against the governing bodies of world football. this was poster prevent them from imposing bans on clubs involved in this proposed breakaway league. they seek to head off any measures that could prohibit plans... they could prohibit plans... they could prohibit the players from playing in the international team. it would be one of many legal twists and turns. the moment, just in the last hour, four of the 12 clubs involved, went out. it is not a good start given that they are only 48 hours into the plan. we will have more about that in minutes

a joke. >> the super league clubs want to start as soon as possible. ny fans have joined in condemning the move. competing clubs face being booted out of their domestic leagues. several television broadcasters are also refusing to abandon national leaks to join the new project, but if it does go ahead, football's single sporting pyramid from the lowest grassroots teams all the way to the top may never be the same again. >> those behind the super league say they want to kick off as soon as practicable. the competition will have 20 teams. the 15 founding members are guaranteed a place every year. other clubs will compete for the remaining five spots. each team will earn 400 million dollars just for joining the league, nearly three times more than what the champions league and or gets every year. organizers data format guarantees regular matches between the top teams. this potentially means more fans in the stadiums, more television viewers, and more money for the clubs. revenues have taken a hit during the pandemic. it is predicted the world's top 20 foot

, there's only one place to start tonight as the fallout continues from the collapsed european super leagueday, it's organisers said that the 12 teams from across europe — including the premier league's �*so—called' big six — had come together "at a critical moment" to "transform european competition" and "help football at every level". but since, the reaction from players and fans — from across the globe — has been fierce... with protests and banners outside many of the 12 clubs invloved. and so little more than 48 hours after it was first propsed. .. the plans started to crumble. as one—by—one all six of the premier league clubs withdrew. today, clubs in italy and spain have begun to pull out, with the plan seemingly off — in what's been another dramatic 2a hours in the super league saga.... chanting. it's a demonstration from chelsea fans as there was some other fans around the country that this european super league was not something they wanted. we want an opportunity to move forward from where we are but what we can't do is place football clubs and communities up place football clubs

does the argument for a super league, a different kind of league, if not this super league, have meritshop. it takes a small. a closed shop. it takes a small number of teams and says that forever they will be at the top and get the best deals, if and when they share money with the football pyramid, they can reshape football around their commercial interests and everybody else will be living from the crumbs. it is integral to football and something that has made football and something that has made football is huge success in england, thatis football is huge success in england, that is competition. you cannot have that is competition. you cannot have that if most clubs are excluded from top competition.— top competition. looking at the monetising _ top competition. looking at the monetising of _ top competition. looking at the monetising of the _ top competition. looking at the monetising of the game - top competition. looking at the monetising of the game and - top competition. looking at the - monetising of the game and proposals for further monetising of the game and proposals forfurt

european super league we have seen in the uk.ple of days many of them have beenin couple of days many of them have been in favour of the idea of a super league but it seems the whole initiative is falling apart and it is just a matter of time before barcelona and real madrid admit that it is not going to go any further, at least for the moment.- it is not going to go any further, at least for the moment. president biden has said the conviction of a white former police officer for the murder of george floyd, an unarmed black man, can be a "giant step forward" in helping to achieve racialjustice. derek chauvin was found guilty of murdering george floyd in minneapolis last year, after kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. the civil rights activist martin luther king iii told the bbc the verdict is encouraging. lebo diseko reports. we the jury in the above entitled matter as to count i, unintentional second degree murder while committing a felony, find the defendant guilty. derek chauvin convicted of two counts of murder a

of course not, but they are talking about our european super league, if you look at the plant is too aked out, there are 20 teams in it, too leagues of ten, therefore they will play home and away, that is 18 games for the clubs to play before then going into a knockout stage of quarterfinals, semifinals and a one—off final. that is a hell of a lot more games. even if you only last in the league stage outfit, at the moment the teams play six games in the group stages, this means they will play 18 games, so at least 12 more games they need to fit into the congested football calendar. that needs to be properly thought out. again, i do see this as some kind of play between the big clubs and uefa, which they have done before, to try to get more of the money and more fixtures and more big games for them to make more money. you are a former player, of course. how much power to players have in a scenario like this? could they lead a revolt against their employers? well, i suppose they could chew. the important thing is to try and perhaps stop this is for supporters and fans of all clubs, beca
