West Ham United 'wholeheartedly against' European Super League

West Ham United are reportedly 'wholeheartedly against' the European Super League, as Karren Brady prepares to discuss the ESL in a Premier League meeting on Tuesday.

West Ham United are reportedly firmly against the European Super League plans.

It was announced on Sunday that the so-called 'top-six' English sides will join six other European clubs in forming a new closed club competition, which has been heavily criticised.

If the plans are to go ahead and the teams involved are excluded from the Premier League, then West Ham would be one of the strong favourites to win the Premier League.

David Moyes's team would be nine points clear at the top of the table this season without the 'big-six' due to an excellent record against the lower teams, losing only to Newcastle United out of the remaining 13.

However, the Evening Standard reports that the Hammers are 'wholeheartedly against' the concept of a European Super League, joining the Premier League, the FA, UEFA and a number of European football federations in opposing the plans.

Karren Brady is expected to represent West Ham in a Premier League meeting, minus the 'top-six', on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the ESL.
