It really could be that the powers-that-be didn’t anticipate such a strong negative response to the Super League plans, and it might be that the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd won’t quite be brave enough to go through with it and risk alienating their fans to such an extent.

I’m over the anger period and are now just depressed. This is absolutely the worst that could happen. Can’t even focus on my job and just keep surfing around on information on this topic. Just mindblown and sick that 28 years of supporting Liverpool (since I was 6) have come to such a permanent end. I can’t and I will not support this. I’m done.
