They ask Boris Johnson for explanations for the Super League

Boris Johnson has been one of the most critical public voices with the Super League since on Sunday 18 the twelve founding clubs officially announced their launch, including the 'Big-Six' of the Premier. “The Super League could attack the heart of the national leagues and that concerns fans across the country. The clubs involved should respond to their fans and the football community in general before making any further decisions, “he posted on his personal Twitter account.

However, now it is he who must respond to the community. 'The Guardian' reports that he is now being asked to give explanations about his position on the project. The reason? The information shared by 'The Times' in which it wielded that Johnson had a meeting ten days before the Super League took shape with Ed Woodward. In it, the still (resigns at the end of the course) executive vice president of Manchester United came out with the impression that the politician was in favor of the proposal.

However, and as we progressed, At the time the bomb exploded, the Conservative Party leader's public stance was very different. Hence Labor is now asking him for an explanation, with Jo Stevens, one of the most notable members of the opposition, at the helm. Stevens has requested that the conversations discussed in said meeting be known, as well as knowing why it happened, who was present and if Boris Johnson or any other member of the government has met with any of the other five founding clubs, see Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea.

“The British people deserve an explanation”

“Again, Boris Johnson's integrity is in question. The public has a right to know that it was promised to Manchester Untied by those responsible and by the Prime Minister. If Johnson supported the Super League and then turned his back on the plan, then the British people deserve a full, clear and immediate explanation and apology.“Stevens said.

While the government, for its part, has categorically denied that the prime minister had any record of the plan and argue that Boris Johnson's conversation with Ed Woodward was short and casual, since they suddenly met in the hallway.
