# West Ham United: Fans react to club’s European Super League statement

**Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1384494939157909507), in which the Hammers released a statement regarding the recent formation of a European Super League.**

On Monday, it was confirmed that Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were among the 12 clubs who had [agreed to join a new European Super League](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56795811) – a midweek competition which aims to replace the Champions League.

However, the [immediate reaction](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56795811) to the announcement was that the formation of the new league was being driven purely by the greed of the so-called big six clubs’ owners, and Chelsea, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have [reportedly](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/premier-league/2020-2021/chelsea-preparing-to-withdraw-from-european-super-league-after-fan-protest_sto8282209/story.shtml) started talks to pull out.

And, following a [meeting of the 14 non-European Super League English top-flight teams](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56810962) on Tuesday, West Ham released a statement condemning the proposal of the ESL, with the club posting on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1384494939157909507): “West Ham United vehemently opposes the proposal for a Super League.”

In reaction, fans of West Ham [flocked to have their say](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1384494939157909507) on the matter, with many appearing delighted at their club’s stance on the European Super League proposals.
