Gary Neville accused club owners involved in the failed European Super League project of an 'attempted murder of English football' as he called for Government legislation to protect the sport in this country.
Last Sunday 12 clubs across Europe, including six in the Premier League, announced plans to join a breakaway league but most have now since embarrassingly pulled out amid a fierce backlash from fans, pundits, managers and players.
Manchester United co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer and Liverpool's John W. Henry were revealed to be key drivers of the project and have since been forced to publicly apologise.
