Now it's over for the SL (for now) I have to say I feel a real sense of pride in the way that football has spoken with one voice on this in the last 48 hours. On Sunday night I felt quite cynical that this could be stopped - the big clubs always get their way don't they?

But since Sunday there have been so many strong dissenting voices: Ceferin, Ferguson, Milner, Bruno, Shaw Guardiola, Ander Herrera but just as importantly fans of all clubs, especially those in the SL. Pics of Chelsea fans outside Stamford Bridge could not have been powerful.

Put all of that together and you have something we haven't seen much of in English football in recent years: solidarity.

Too often here people see things through a club rivalry lens ("our owner's not as bad as yours") and I've been guilty of this myself.

Ultimately this has meant that fans/clubs/football bodies have struggled to recognise their commonality or speak collectively, particularly regarding regulation/ownership, which is partially why we're in this situation in 2021. (Obviously lots of other things are to blame too)

But maybe this changed this week? Fans and players spoke out against their club owners. They saw themselves in fans and players of other sides. And they collectively said no to the destruction of the fabric of the sport.

Now obviously there are huge structural problems in football that will be very hard to fix. But ownership models - and government oversight of the game - are back on the agenda. Hopefully that means eventually fan power - golden share, veto powers - rather than a token board seat

I know that things that look like the Super League will be raised again. But before this week I would never have thought that football could say no. Relieved to have been wrong.

This is my favourite image of the week (no idea who took it sorry)
