James Corden delivered an impassioned denunciation of the Super League proposals that have rocked football and warned the game’s future is at risk. The so-called Big Six of the English Premier League have faced a furious backlash to their proposals to breakaway and form a European Super League, with Boris Johnson among those condemning the move. Corden, a West Ham fan, joined the dissenters during the latest episode of The Late Late Show and became emotional while outlining his opposition. Corden said: “I’m heartbroken by it, genuinely heartbroken by it. He compared the Super League, which would allow its founder members access on an historical basis rather than merit, to an imagined scenario where A-list actresses Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Saoirse Ronan and Viola Davis carve up Oscar nominations for themselves.
