'It's done, it's finished... I hope Perez has got them on a £100m fine': Gary Neville celebrates the demise of the European Super League and insists he hopes Big Six 'eat themselves' in the wake of breakaway failure

Gary Neville hopes Real Madrid and European Super League president Florentino Perez has a £100million fine waiting for the Premier League's 'Big Six' after they withdrew from the controversial project on Tuesday night, leaving the plans for a breakaway competition in ruins.
