He meant it

And, I mean, on the football what I would say is our first step is clearly to back the football authorities in this country, the FA football association, the Premier League and the steps that they’re taking to contract this initiative. But be there no doubt that we don’t support it and support the creation of this European Super League. I think it’s not in the interests of fans. It’s not in the interests of football. How can it be right to have a situation in which you create a kind of cartel that stops clubs competing against each other, playing against each other properly with all the hope and excitement that gives to fans up and down the country. I think it offends against the bracing basic principles of competition. And, if necessary, in order to protect that principle of competition, we will seek, as I said to those bodies earlier on, we will seek a legislative solution. But we hope that they can find a way forward themselves. Boris Johnson 20 April 2021

Questa roba non è stata dimenticata da qualcuno.
