Nobody

The PLs and UEFAs bargaining power has, and never will be, better than in the last few hours. By just allowing them back in without any punishment, they take that away and giving it back to the SL teams. What's there to stop them pulling this shit again in five years time if they aren't severely punished? That is why they need to come down hard on them now. I know that it's completely unrealistic to expect them to be chucked out of the league, but honestly that's what they deserve. A hefty point deduction and a year or more out of the CL should be the very least they get; after all they are the ones that said they don't want to be in the CL anymore. It won't happen for the same reason this shite started in the first place, this lot are more powerful than the other teams, and UEFA/PL need them, maybe just not as much as their arrogance led them to believe. As for their fans, well fair play I guess for speaking up and stopping this, but honestly I can't say I'd be too upset if they didn't get to see their precious team win even more trophies next season. Maybe they might even learn some humility by being forced out of the top league for a bit.

I would have much preferred it if they fucked off to their own lea3, with the PL showing a spine and telling them they're no longer welcome, even if they decided to opt out of the SL.

Fuck off, utterly ridiculous. By the same line of thinking, Sheffield United shouldn't be punished with relegation, only their owners and directors should pay a fine.

That would be hilarious

Has Chelsea put a statement out yet btw?

Leaves a really bad taste in the mouth the way they talk about "finding new ways to improve football in the future" like. Fuck off, you've shown your hand in what you think improving football is, all it is is just more guaranteed money for your already fat pockets.

I barely noticed there was a Premier League game on tonight with everything going on, like fuck did I know there was League 1 action happening

Florentino Perez offering a nice little bonus to Mundo to smear the English clubs I reckon.

Aye, it's been said a fair amount of times in the last 48 hours, but nothing about this has been any good whatsoever. The announcement was a shambles, from talking about a women's version (that was clearly never happening for a number of reasons) to blaming covid as well as trying to come across as the saviours of football. The league itself would have been utter shite. The arrogance thinking that 5 teams would have just been happy to join for a season before getting chucked out, the utter shite diversity of the teams that signed up and the no risk, no rewards structure would have destined it to fail even without the ethical and moral implications for the rest of football. They were planning on this to happen within four months, and they had no partners lined up (except for the backing/loan of JP Morgan), only 12 out of 20 teams cleared as well. It seems like it was thought of on a long lunch with a few too many beers and then hastily announced. Like you said Disco, any of us could have done a better job of thinking up a super league.

That is the worst one yet. Fucking hell

Still saying football needs change as well as trying to claim to have listened to the fans. Fuck right off Arsenal, fuck right off.

I waited at least 5 seconds. That's say more than I'm willing to wait. Someone could have best me to it if I waited longer ffs.

Absolutely. The PL will be over the moon with these developments.

Fucking coward. Also, surely City have to do more than just saying they're out ffs.

Without a doubt 3 is the best outcome. It would fuxk this lot so much, and they'd be shitting in their panties. If the super league fails (which I wouldn't be surprised to see it do), they are all utterly fucked.

Where's the ignore feature on the new forum?

Boo fucking hoo

It would be a first chance for them to show that these players won't be allowed to play in Euros for example. That's what we need to see happen now, players and clubs getting cold feet. Just get one to back down, the whole thing crumbles and the rest are left with less power than they had before all this nonsense. Show any weakness, and the greedy cunts win. It really is all or nothing now IMO. It's a massive opportunity to take power away from them, or to just back down and let them win.

Weak as fuck that. Show some balls ffs, we need to get these cunts thrown out. If they are then happy to play in a sterile, boring as fuck league then let them. Also, all we really need is for one of Chelsea and/or City to jump ship and this loses all credibility. This shite vs a Champions League with Bayern, PSG, Dortmund, City, Ajax, Napoli (should they not join), Porto, Benfica etc? I know what I'm watching.

Yes, that's exactly what I was expecting. Or bring back Porto, Bayern and whoever else outside the gready 12 deserves a shot. This lot have already said they don't want to be in the CL, simply chuck them out. Anything that's done that leaves the is lot with any power is proof that they are right. It cannot be allowed to happen.

UEFA already backing down then. Spineless cowards. Same will happen with the PL now.

According to the daily mail (I think) Boris Johnson is considering not giving work permits to the foreign players for these six teams should it happen
