Moshiri slams breakaway Super League as Everton urge rebel 6 to backtrack Lyndon Lloyd Tuesday, 20 April, 2021
Everton owner, Farhad Moshiri, has branded the decision by 12 European clubs, six of them from the Premier League, to form a practically closed-shop Super League as preposterous arrogance and called for disciplinary measures to be taken against them.
Meanwhile, in a statement from the Everton Board of Directors and an email to supporters from CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale, the club outlined its commitment to the football pyramid and principles of open competition and sporting merit.
The 14 Premier League clubs excluded from the Super League have also unanimously rejected the plan and said, in a statement, that they are considering all options to prevent it.
