Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher poked fun at how quickly the Super League has fallen to pieces.

He also warned Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have “no future” at the club.

“Jurgen Klopp has thrown them under a bus. Their own captain has thrown them under the bus with the rest of the squad. And so has Sir Kenny Dalglish,” he told Sky Sports.

“There is nothing left for Liverpool’s owners in what they are doing and what they are hanging on for.

“I actually think the situation with Liverpool’s owners is that l don’t see how they can continue.

“They can’t just leave the club, obviously, the business is worth a lot of money.

“But I don’t see a future for the ownership of FSG at Liverpool on the back of this.”

Plenty of current players were speaking out too. Liverpool stars including Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Trent Alexander-Arnold shared the same club post on social media, which read: “We don’t like it and we don’t want it to happen. This is our collective position.

“Our commitment to this football club and its supporters is absolute and unconditional.”

It ended with the words of Liverpool’s famous anthem: “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Liverpool royalty Sir Kenny Dalglish added: “The last few days have been difficult for everyone who loves Liverpool Football Club and I really hope we do the right thing.”

City star Raheem Sterling was happy to see his side leave.

Chelsea icon John Terry praised fans who protested outside their home ground of Stamford Bridge ahead of a match against Brighton. On Instagram, he wrote: “Unbelievable from the supporters tonight. The fans have spoken, now Chelsea FC, do the right thing and be the first team to leave!”

Former long-time Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger expected the concept to fail. “I’m not surprised it didn’t last long. It ignored the basic principles of sporting merit,” he said.

“If you ignore that you kill the domestic leagues, so fans would never accept that.”

BORIS GOES BANG

Even England Prime Minister Boris Johnson weighed in, taking to Twitter to encourage the rest of the clubs to follow Chelsea and Manchester City by pulling out.

“The decision by Chelsea and Manchester City is — if confirmed — absolutely the right one and I commend them for it,” Johnson tweeted.

“I hope the other clubs involved in the European Super League will follow their lead.”

BOTTOM LINE TAKES A BATTERING

Share prices of Manchester United and Juventus fell on Tuesday as the proposed European Super League was threatened following a furious backlash from fans.

On Wall Street, Manchester United dropped 6.0 percent, reversing most of Monday’s gain of nearly seven percent.

And in Milan, Juventus lost 4.2 percent after ending the previous day at its highest level since September 2020.

“Juventus and Manchester United shares have both come under pressure after the gains of yesterday, as it becomes apparent that even within the various Premier League clubs support amongst the players appears lukewarm at best,” Michael Hewson of CMC Markets UK said.

SOCIAL MEDIA LIGHTS UP

Social media had a field day with the news. UFC megastar Conor McGregor chimed in, taking a crack at Manchester United.
