Forget fines, that’s not going to hurt them. 15 points deduction minimum to ensure it never happens again. 30 point deduction, hundred million fine and three year ban from European competition. That would send a message, and allow other teams to hoover up the money for a few years, leveling the playing field a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t accept anything other than a points deduction. Well, league expulsion to tier 5 would be better actually but I don’t think they’d do that. They’ve thrown the footballing world into turmoil for simply being greedy b*****ds - they should be punished severely. Make them cry like a little bitch. I want tear stain statements after they’ve been given massive points deductions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA are wringing out every penny they can from the CL already. The idea that there is billions left on the table annually to be grabbed by either a revised CL or Super League was a fantasy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were able to stuff the ESL's mouth with gold. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/uefa-is-said-to-discuss-eu6b-financing-proposal-from-centricus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only in October last year they were doing Project Big Picture. Which was eessentially going to be a gateway to the Super League because they were going to re-write the rules to give themselves special voting rights to let them do whatever they wanted. The rest of the EPL have to take action. Doing nothing is a delay to the inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hibs and Dons fans must be gutted. No invite to the EPL now Liverpool are staying put. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Surprised by how quickly this has collapsed. I think the ESL clubs seriously underestimated the reaction from their own fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) hm. UCL finals/group stage matches played in Asia/America or something like that next to get floated, maybe?? or that mad Game 39 idea that was talked a while back for the premier league? Any mad shit that comes forward over the next year now has the benefit of a "well its not as bad as that ESL, is it" defence cat's out the bag now, surely theres gonna be speculation about this happening every season until there's vast changes that happen eventually. Reckon the UCL will just morph into this by another name over the next 10 years anyway using the UCL name/prestige.

Detournement Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The long and short of it is this. You can't launch a new league and pretend it's the best thing since sliced bread while your own fans have the stadium under siege and are burning strips and effigies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Arsenal out aswell. Kroenke would’ve been one of the most influential aswell I’d imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 wait but haven't loads of senior figures resigned from Uefa over this (that were also in positions at ESL clubs)? take it they're just going to be allowed to reverse it or will they be told to f**k off?The latter hopefully. Some of them resigned from the ECA as well, no way they're getting back in. AFAIK the clubs also resigned from the ECA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Did you hear what he said a minute ago? "We'll just create a new Man City". Wow, the arrogance is astonishing, though a cheeky element of truth in it.Link for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
