The landscape of English football and the tumultuous saga surrounding the European Super League (ESL) have kept fans and authorities on their toes. While major English clubs have voiced their stances, one prominent name remains conspicuously silent: Liverpool.
The inception of the ESL, 32 months ago, triggered immediate responses from significant figures. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the President of the Football Association, Prince William, were among the early voices condemning the ESL’s formation.
The recent judicial “validation” of the ESL saw Manchester United take the lead in openly opposing the league, reaffirming their commitment to UEFA competitions and collaborative efforts with football authorities for the development of the European game.
Following United’s stance, a cascade of responses emerged within minutes from Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and subsequently Arsenal, all aligning against the ESL.
Yet, amidst this flurry of declarations, Liverpool, part of the famed “Big-6” in English football, has yet to make a public stance against the ESL. However, insight from Fenway Sports Group’s Tom Werner, shared a year ago with The Athletic, indicated that the ESL was “definitely off Liverpool’s agenda.”
The silence from Liverpool amidst the widespread opposition to the ESL raises intrigue and speculation about the club’s underlying sentiments. As the drama unfolds, the absence of a public statement from Liverpool continues to spark curiosity among fans and pundits alike, leaving the final position of the club regarding the ESL shrouded in uncertainty.
