There's work arounds for the PL, UEFA, FIFA etc even if their current rules don't allow it.

Players will be banned from all international matches starting with euros this summer.

I hope so, let these “big clubs” lose their stars and let’s create 6 new big clubs who aren’t trying to spilt football up.

ill watch Kane and Rashford playing for Leeds and Leicester. It’s the quality of the players not the team name.

As expected. They have them all by the balls. 
 

this throws the European leagues into absolute chaos , if they can’t be kicked out of the premier league im assuming they can also block any attempt to curtail their he power they have

Fortunately there's zero corruption in UEFA and FIFA. Everything they say is completely honourable.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Will they just fuck off like. For fucks sake. 

Manchester United and Real Madrid already the two richest clubs in the world.

That’s sounds like a fantastic idea

We’re pretty big on health and safety in the uk. It’s a legal requirement to wear that stuff in certain work environments. Also looks great as a photo opportunity to endear yourself to the plebs.

Maybe I've missed something, but if they can't be expelled from the PL, but they won't be allowed to compete in the CL/EL, what exactly are they playing in the PL for?

[r0cafella]

The fact they have to target players who have zero say in this tells me how weak the legal case against this is. 
 

A lot of mileage in this shitshow.

More money

Aye, in the current format it’s pretty much big 6 orientated for the top 4 anyway (the odd blip when Leicester, us, West Ham this season have threatened it for the odd year). This is going to widen the gap even further when you think they’re now going to get about £300m each. The money they earn in a year compared to the rest of the league could literally buy a club like us.

 

It's not really, in terms of the PL anyway, the TV money is pretty evenly distributed and that has resulted in well run clubs like Leicester being able to compete with the 'big 6' and meant that the likes of Man United have struggled to consistently finish in the top 4.

They have to be kicked out end of and if they want to take it to court then let them. You can't break documented rules and not be penalised.

Easy enough to grt them out the PL. Promote top 3 in champ, keep bottom 3 in PL, vote on removing top 6 and reform with 4th champ team as playoff winner for next season. 18 teams while the pyramid settles.

So they dominate the top six positions, one of them wins the league, but our CL entrants start from 7th place?

Fuck football like. Dead as a fucking dodo.

And we're in a huge amount of debt as the Glazers keep taking money out of the club whether we post profit or not. Make no mistake the Glazers are doing this for their own pocket. It's such a pathetic money grab it's unreal. Literally just a way to wipe out the debt of the big clubs. 

[Ben]

Has anyone with the exception of the club owners actually backed this ?

This would sicken players like Bruno. If this goes ahead the top 6 clubs can forget about players like him. It'll be full of the same mercenaries that were going to China for a payday.

I’d admire the optimism but 99% of them will follow the money.
