When asked about his thoughts on the Super League, Atalanta defender Robin Gosens told Kicker: “This is a huge disaster for football. I am shocked that it is coming true now. That a small underdog prevails, that was always the basis of football.
“If there is now a Super League in which Arsenal or Tottenham qualify forever without any sporting achievement, then the foundation of football will be taken away. Everyone must be aware that football will then change forever and will never be the same again.
“People are still dying all over the world, there is a lack of money at the front and at the back. These twelve clubs set up their own league and get 100 or 150 million shoved up their asses. You have to question the ethics of that.
“The sad thing is: at the end of the day, it's all about money, money, money. The damage would be so big that many fans will hopefully oppose it. I would take part in such protests.”
Joel Glazer has been appointed as one of the Vice-Chairmen of the Super League and played a big part over United’s participation in the breakaway league.
Man United are set to earn up to €350m just for participating in the league and €200m a year, but have been warned playing in the Super League could see them banned from the Premier League and UEFA competitions.
