I don’t disagree, but it would bankrupt the rest of the league.

I'm sure that's what "Rangers" fans kept telling everyone when they rightly got kicked out of the Scottish top flight. It really wouldn't. Contracts have already been signed.

The problem is these owners are so rich, state funded in some cases, that it will be almost impossible to go head to head with them legally.  Unfortunately I can't see any prospect of them being ejected from the PL.

This league wil happen.  Fans will object but ultimately they will creep back.  If they don't the owners simply won't care - look at Kronke moving LA / St Louis Raiders firstly from LA to St Louis and then back again 20 years later.  The fans are their last consideration.  Whatever happens next they have probably ruined football as we know if for ever.  The utter bastards.
This is a US money driven project.

They have demonstrated time after time they know fuck all about “soccer” and its fans.

It will spectacularly nosedive and lose eye watering amounts of money.

A nice touch from Leeds players tonight warming with  T shirts printed with "Football is for fans" and "Earn IT" banners.

If the PL need 14 votes to take action tomorrow against the 6 - then you would think they must have a club in their pocket.  I wonder who it might be?

I can think of a few £m reasons why a club’s head might be turned.

Agreed.
He should be figurehead of the opposition to this scheme.

Yes he's been a joy to listen to in the last 24 hours. Just slated Glaziers again saying they have turned  Old Trafford in a rusty tin shed.
