LONDON: England’s Premier League said it was drawing up a new owners’ charter designed to avoid future attempts to join a breakaway European Super League (ESL) as police launched an investigation into the protest that caused the postponement of Manchester United’s match against Liverpool.
Fans invaded Old Trafford and ran onto the pitch Sunday as part of a demonstration against United’s owners, the US-based Glazer family. Greater Manchester Police said one of their officers required emergency hospital treatment.
Anger towards the Glazers has been reignited by United’s part in the failed ESL project, which collapsed within 48 hours last month after a backlash from fans, players, governments and governing bodies.

After months in the doldrums, National Party leader Judith Collins has finally caught a wind.
It may be a foul wind, but it is wind nonetheless. Collins found it gusting from the He Puapua report, a report which canvasses a range of options to make Māori rangatiratanga a reality.
That report has sat on Government desks since 2019 with nothing happening, and without being made public until recently after the Ombudsman intervened.
