I'm willing to give them credit for leaving if their statement is okay. It has to say that they won't ever consider supporting any change that doesn't have the support of the clubs throughout the structure and of fans. If they apologise and say that then I'll say fair enough, people are entitled to make mistakes.

If they make some statement that they have left but still want changes .. bla bla .. UEFA so unfair .. bla bla they can get fucked.

I think the reason they provide for leaving will be vital in deciding whether people see them as reluctant scumbags who saw sense, or devious bastards who feel like they have been forced to abandon their nefarious plans against their will.

Special punishment for Spurs and City: kick them out
of Sunday's final, expunge last year's winners, and the trophy awarded to the runners-up on that occasion!

They must, still, face punishments. They must not be allowed to go back to business as usual after giving two fingers to us all.

I think it could almost be the end of Real Madrid

I’m sure the rest of the EPL will allow the 6 to stay in the league.....after the appropriate points deductions

Totally agree they need to be punished.

Like a cheating spouse you can save the marriage but those who have strayed should expect serious repercussions and a lengthy spell in the doghouse.

There simply has to be a punishment now. It cannot be glossed over like it didn’t happen. Because if not they will do it again.

This. Absolutely this. Things can’t just go back to normal after what they’ve just tried to do.

They should not let the ‘super 6’ have a say in any premier league votes for the next few years. Let Norwich, Palace and Burnley vote in all sorts of mad shit.

As usual it will be the lawyers who will benefit from this

It has been confirmed that all 12 signed a 23 year binding contract
No one could leave without the consent of the others or face claims for damages that could be hundreds of millions

So will Chelsea now face the risk of £Ms of damages?
