more importantly now if chelsea are out theres theoretically enough to start expelling other premier league clubs who might cling onto the super league idea (you need 75% in favour of expelling a member not just 14)
but also has a system in place where owners can cheerfully underfund the team and bank the cash without fear of any punishment in the form of relegation, hell the worse they do the better the draft pick so they are incentivised to do so!
honestly one of the things I don't get and maybe the amercians on here can explain it to me what the fuck is the appeal of the regular season in nfl etc
its an existential threat when your up to your gills in debt and decided to start a renovation project on your stadium when theres no guarantee when fans can return and at what capacity in the next few years
covid accelerated and highlighted the problems some clubs were having, Juve for example were already kinda up the creek before all this thanks to overspending to get Ronaldo now they're really fucked.
if anybody is shaky on this its Chelsea/Man City they don't need the money and I'm baffled as to why they signed up in the first place they're in it for PR purposes
