Jamie Carragher Sums Up Fan Reaction To Proposed New European Premier League

Jamie Carragher's three-word statement of "Oh f**k off" has summed up reaction to a proposed European Premier League.

Sky News have revealed Manchester United and Liverpool are already in talks over joining, with a $6 billion [£4.6 billion] package being created to fund a start-up in 2022.

The concept of a 'Super League' has rumbled for years and despite the lucrative sums of money involved, fans aren't keen on the idea.

One of those is former Liverpool man and current Sky Sports pundit Carragher, who wasn't entertaining the idea at all.

He wasn't the only one to express his anger at the idea, which would see 18 top European teams play fixtures in midweek, between domestic games.

Teams from across Europe have been invited to the 18-team tournament and an official announcement may come later this month

The proposal is said to "potentially be the most important development in world club football for decades."

What do you think of the proposed European Premier League?
