It would take the 14 clubs to push through a special resolution to punish them. I can not see it happening.

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.

I have been as against this breakaway league as anyone but surely you can't punish teams when they haven't gone through anything.

Christian Purslow seems to have called it bang on the button in his interview on 5Live on Sunday. He was pretty adamant it wouldn't happen.

Er, they felt they were above playing against their 14 premier league partners. They were prepared to let the remaining 14 sink or swim. They signed legally binding contracts committing to a closed shop league in which they would never face relegation. They must have the book thrown at them. Points deductions, embargos, European bans. The lot. Zero tolerance.
Well said.Huge points deduction  and a loss of voting rights for attacking the viability of the league and European ban for undermining the Champions League.Stand up to these six clubs ,if not this will surface in a few years time with sweeteners for others to abandon the rest.

Come you you lot you know that they have been very clever in creating this fuss so that UEFA can push through the absolutely terrible restructuring without anyone noticing. Their job is done.

Difficult to see how the 6 could sit round a table with the other 14 as if nothing has happened. Trust has gone completely, so they have to have some kind of sanction to draw a line under it and be able to move on.

Personally speaking I hope Man United and Liverpool stay in

I’ve always said we haven’t got a big 6 or big 4 but we have got a big 2
Those two are bigger than the rest of the premiership put together with all their millions of overseas fans
They are massive global brands not football clubs

I think it would be for the best if they fucked off to be honest

Wouldn’t be completely shocked if a couple of the owners start looking for buyers after this.

They all need to start next season on -30 points and a 2 year European ban...minimum.

Make it minus 60, that way they will all have to amass league winning points (90+) just to stay up.

And most definitely a European ban.

My guess, though, is f*ck all will be done


Norwich would still go down

Not just scabs but cowardly scabs too.
They need to be punished. Everything is stacked in their favour and yet that still isn't enough for them based on their underhanded conniving ways.
F-ck them off and f-ck them up.
Whatever happens I hope fans of all other clubs never forget that these 6 clubs attempted to do them over.

Part of me's disappointed. It was quite satisfying seeing those shitty clubs get absolutely shredded by the otherwise fawning press, and everyone else in the entire world.

Now they'll just get away with it, and probably end up with even more cash from UEFA into the bargain.

And Chelski and Man City are still c**ts for going along with it in the first place.

When those 12 start suing the shit out of each other their clubs’ll be worth fuck all.
