The reversals came after a day of frantic behind-the-scenes discussions at the Super League clubs following international condemnation over their involvement in a project that threatened to overturn the hierarchy of the world\u2019s most popular sport. Twelve clubs from England, Spain and Italy signed binding contracts last weekend to enter the competition but teams from France and Germany declined to participate.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\" https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/f3ab9f68-65b2-4839-96b3-ec4d2928053b\">Financial Times<\/a><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>England\u2019s big six have backed down but Super League fight isn\u2019t over<\/strong><\/p><p>TheGuardian &#8211; The energy of football\u2019s outrage over the Super League has been heartening, but this is just a retreat, a ceasefire.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"tn6IsVQegAFiDWJqzSKG0hO5U3BYZaLw2dvlx8bTf4p7R19EcokPCjuNHrm\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"European Super League: Chelsea fan protests turn to celebrations as club withdraw\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X15CbAnxoOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>As the sun dipped below the roof-line of Stamford Bridge something strange began to happen.
