The six would-be breakaway Premier League clubs attempted to "kill English football forever" and both punishments and new legislation must follow, Gary Neville told Sky Sports' Football's Civil War special show documenting a historic week for the game. It can never be accepted, because last Sunday what they announced was the attempted murder of English football. "They attempted to kill English football forever, and they would have done it if they could. "They then wanted to come back into our league, the Premier League, with £300m extra and expect the league to be as competitive as it has been over the last 20, 30, 40 years. It's one that can protect and save English football forever.
