(Reuters) - The Premier League has told executives from the clubs involved in the breakaway European Super League to step down from key committees or risk being forcibly removed , British media reported.
Premier League Chief Excutive Richard Masters had approached executives from Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City on Wednesday asking them to relinquish their positions on working groups, Sky Sports said.
Tottenham Hotspur are not represented on any of the Premier League s key committees.
Tonight, the fans said NO. We demanded that we were listened to, we demanded that we were heard, and we demanded that the club that we all love was not sold for greed and self-interest. This is a victory for the supporters. We did this together. The Chelsea Supporters Trust (CST) is unashamedly proud of its members across the globe. We shouted and they had to listen. The position of a number of the CFC board is now untenable and the CST will continue to push for what is right. The CST board is proud of our members and supporters. Together we are stronger. This is our club and that will never change.
