Executives from ESL clubs forced to quit advisory roles
The move is a consequence of the so-called 'Big Six' teams attempting to set up a league which drew widespread criticism before it fell apart. The 14 other Premier League clubs felt betrayed by the move and demanded that executives involved, including Manchester United's Ed Woodward, Liverpool's Tom Werner and Manchester City's Ferran Soriano, step down. Woodward and Werner will no longer sit on the Premier League's Club Broadcast Advisory Group. Soriano and Arsenal's chief executive Vinai Venkatesham will be removed from the Club Strategic Advisory Group, while Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck will no longer be on the Audit and Remuneration Committee.
