(ANSA) - LONDON, APRIL 21 - British Tory Prime Minister BorisJohnson claims in front of the House of Commons that he supported the battle against the Super League to protect "the fans of our most beloved sport", not without arguing against the leader of the Labor opposition, Keir Starmer, accused of having remained "on the sidelines" albeit against the project. In Wednesday's traditional Question Time, Johnson also renews his appreciation for the decision of the 6 English clubs initially involved to abandon this initiative (under pressure from fans, the government and various insiders) condemning it essentially to bankruptcy.


    Responding to a subsequent question from one of the deputies, the British Prime Minister confirmed that his government intends to continue to keep the attention focused on the world of football - through the announced investigation entrusted to a body in which the representatives of organized supporters will have ample space - with the goal of "promoting" a greater role of fans in the management of the football movement.


    The main danger that the Super League would have entailed, in Johnson's opinion, and which must be averted in his words, is that of transforming large clubs rooted in the cities of the Kingdom into mere "global brands", to the detriment of their connection "with local communities" to which they belong. and the people of supporters.
