Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the Super League was doomed from the start and that it was only created as a "strategic weapon to get more out of UEFA".
Indeed, all six English teams confirmed in quick succession on Tuesday night that they would be pulling out of the planned continental competition, which had prompted outrage across Europe.
And Wenger has said that the leaders behind the Super League endeavour were "not well prepared" to handle the backlash that immediately followed the announcement of their plans over the weekend.
