European Super league

The nine clubs have agreed to make a combined 15m euros (£13.4m) it's hardly a deterrent for those clubs, pocket money for the owners.

 

It's pathetic isn't it.

 

Agree the other 14 Premier clubs could not let this opportunity pass without as you say weakening their power within the game, especially with everyone bar the 6 mentioned on their side.

 

the fact that it is all agreed and voluntary etc says to me that they realised they hadn’t actually broken any rules. Will be interesting to see how they deal with the other three.

These 9 have also signed an understanding that if they agree to anything similar then the ‘punishment’ is £90m. So at least next time they know what the cost is, so they will be able to work out if it is worth it

 

I wouldn’t have an issue with it looking like that if there was a way to move upwards without waiting for another English team to come bottom of the league above

 

Ashamed my club ( Liverpool ) where involved in this
Peaceful protests and boycott of games is one way to show the club we don't want this
It is just Greed
Disgusted with owners

 

Apparently Juventus have been threatened with expulsion from Serie A. If that happened I could see it getting messy very quickly with court cases

 

After all these weeks it looks like UEFA have decided to start disciplinary proceedings against the last three clubs. seem to have taken their time over it.

And now apparently the three clubs have won the first part of the legal battle in the courts which could also mean UEFA having to remove the sanctions on the others, which presumably would mean Premier League would have to do same too.

Possibly but a key passage in that reads "We remain confident in the success of a project that will be always compliant with European Union laws."

 

currently our competition rules and those of the EU are almost identical, if not totally, as there have been more pressing matters since we left EU

 

We are no longer subject to European Union competition law, our current laws might be very similar but the government seemed eager to intervene when the European Super League breakaway was attempted, surely the next logical step is to put pressure on them to change our own laws to prevent a breakaway from happening. Real, Barca & Juve won't want to form a European Super League without the Premier League clubs involved. The whole reason they want the breakaway is because of the power of the Premier League and because they worry they can't compete.

We need to put the Premier League teams in a position where they legally can't breakaway, whilst thwarting Real, Barca and Juventus' attempts to form a rival competition.

 

Yes things could change to stop it in the future but all the agreed punishments will probably have to be removed and any fines returned.

 

Looks like UEFA are backing down until European Court make a judgement
