The 'big six' Premier League clubs have "taken a slap" over their involvement in the European Super League, says Newcastle manager Steve Bruce.
All six English clubs had withdrawn from the competition by Wednesday.
"It was pretty obvious to everyone we weren't going to accept it, which was terrific," Bruce said.
Nine of the initial 12 teams have now withdrawn from the ESL, although Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says the competition is only on "standby".
"The supporters have been heard and rightly so," said Bruce, whose side are away to Liverpool, one of the clubs who tried to break away, on Saturday at 12:45 BST.
