nufcjb Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Is it just on here or others from other clubs or maybe fans of the Big 6 want these clubs punished in someway? Edited April 21, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Surely the other 14 are fuming and will be pushing for severe punishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just imagine if this was a Leicester city or a Everton in today's age doing this, the bigger Boys would be demanding a punishment and they would of been told it by now this still stinks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I don't know if I'll explain this very well but here goes . The so called big 6 have still used this absolute to farce to establish themselves as "the big 6". Beforehand you ask people who the biggest clubs in this country are you wouldn't necessarily have got uniform answers regardless of the individual asked. We're still a massive club and would have been classed as part of a big 6 in the last 20 years, as would Leeds, Everton and Villa in the not too distant past. If perception is reality (don't know who came up with that originally ...might have been Vince McMahon) this is how these clubs will be perceived both historically and going forwards and perhaps in future TV/League deals.

If it was the other way round and it was the 14 trying and failing to break away from those 6 you could guarantee punishment would be dished out and it would be severe.

joeyt Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The apologies will be accepted and they'll say it was just a mistake and probably brushed under the carpet. Maybe get a minor fine or something but can't see the FA or anyone else having the balls to punish them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, you have just as many people saying how ridiculous it is that Arsenal and Spurs were invited. Obviously the general point is right that the idea of any kind of big 6 is fundamentally stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Agnelli is definitely the worst of the lot of them. You can understand it from the Americans, sheiks and oligarchs. You can even understand Perez as an industrialist and relative latecomer in life to football ownership. Agnelli is from a long family dynasty of running Juventus - it's absolutely scandalous that he is such a driving figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 To show how these things ('big 4/5/6') are a 'moment in time' thing, look at the member list of that G-14 European superclubs thing which they introduced at the turn of the century. Doesn't include Man City or Chelsea or Spurs. Originally didn't include Arsenal. Includes Ajax, PSV, Marseille, Porto. Oh, and included the modern day goliath that is Bayer Leverkusen.

nufcjb Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I would not be surprised that the lack of punishment towards the big 6 from the PL is because the other 14 are just grateful that they came back and they're still in a league with the cunts. Watch us throw our safety away and get relegated and Fat Mike will then cry foul because the big 6 had no points deduction.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 With a likely lack of punishment fro UEFA or the PL I guess we're going to have to hope that JP Morgan included some hefty exit clauses. If there is an industry more self serving and murky than football than its financial services, they never lose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) 14 PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS PLOT PUNISHMENTS FOR BREAKAWAY SIX There is a difference of opinion among the group of 14 Premier League clubs about whether there should be sanctions against the 'big six', now that they have abandoned their plans for a European Super League, Sky Sports News has been told. One senior club official has told Sky Sports News that they want to pursue the possibility of punishments, because they feel there is a clear breach of Premier League rules, and a precedent must be set to act as a deterrent to possible future breakaways. Rule L9 says any member club needs prior written approval by the Premier League Board to enter a new competition, and this official says that rule has “patently been broken” by the rebels signing an agreement to join the Super League. An executive at another Premier League club has told Sky Sports News that any sanction imposed on the 'big six', such as points deductions or fines would hurt the wrong people - the players, managers and, crucially, the fans of those clubs. Instead, they advocate the Premier League rules being tightened for the future, but they say the 'big six' should be welcomed back into the Premier League fold quickly, because “there has to be a measure of realism” here, with those six so crucial to the “overall commercial and sporting success” of the league. There is likely to be another meeting of the 14 Premier League clubs - possibly even later today - to discuss what should happen next.
