Sincerity rating: Meh. Regrets, Daniel Levy had a few.

Man Utd:

We will not be participating in the European Super League.#MUFC

Sincerity rating: Low. Very low. No apology, no sense that they did anything wrong. Ah, love those Glazers.

Man City:

Sincerity rating: No apology yet.

Liverpool:

Liverpool Football Club can confirm that our involvement in proposed plans to form a European Super League has been discontinued.

Sincerity rating: Businesslike statement, no apology. The talk is of stakeholders, not fans – pretty disgraceful from FSG.

Chelsea have yet to confirm their withdrawal.

Verdict: Arsenal the clear winners here, simply for saying sorry. Also:
