A Post-Mortem? I think we're still a bit too close to the situation to see the whole picture yet, unfortunately. I do think, like the NBA shutting down last year, they were waiting for 1 club to react first. and the protest lead Chelsea to be that first club.

The fans hated it, they felt like the "americanization" of football was just to make money, and that it attacked the integrity of the game. In my opinion the fans are completely right

Also, football cannot work by using franchise-style clubs, it simply cannot happen. Relegation, promotion, qualification to bigger competitions is as natural to the sport as the green grass

The established European and domestic leagues said if they go ahead, they're expelled from all other competitions and the players can't play in international tournaments. And the fans protested in droves as well.

To add this, the supposed draw was for the "best teams in Europe" to play each other. With no German or French club being a part of the initial 12, this claim was pretty weak when spurs/arsenal/United were included.

TL;DR: "The strategy of the Super League, astonishingly amateur in its execution, contrived to alienate every possible stakeholder. They even lost the faith of sponsors, as Liverpool’s timing sponsor has now pulled out."
