John Barnes insists Big Six's withdrawal from European Super League is NOT a victory for fans... as Liverpool legend concedes chances of ousting disgraced American owners involved in controversial breakaway are slim

John Barnes claims the English Big Six's withdrawal from controversial European Super League plans should not be considered a victory for football fans around the country.

The project to form a breakaway league fell apart on Tuesday night as Manchester City and Chelsea began the exodus, before Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham all made statements confirming their departure later on.

Their confirmations came after 48 hours of widespread condemnation of the proposals from supporters groups, pundits and even some players and managers including James Milner and Pep Guardiola.
