Botched European Super League 'will relaunch in modified form with Man United, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs still part of controversial breakaway project'

All six English clubs involved in the European Super League are yet to formally leave the hated competition – with organisers claiming that the botched masterplan will relaunch, according to a report.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea all withdrew from the European Super League within 72 hours of the seismic change to the sport being dramatically announced in April.

A spate of public apologies and pledges to resist revisiting the doomed idea followed, but the so-called Bix Six allegedly remain co-owners and shareholders of a holding company in Spain, with senior sources close to the venture claiming there is 'no mechanism' for withdrawal and the league will be relaunched, The Times has said.
