The biggest consequence for them is that they have all lost their own fans though

Pathetically weak from the FA. A Joke fine for each club. To hurt these clubs, they should've been deducted 30 points each. Monetary fines don't hurt them at all. How many times now have Man City in particular been fined for a past breaches?

Mind you, it's more than the clubs who haven't backed down yet have received:

"Following the opening of disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona, Juventus FC and Real Madrid CF for a potential violation of UEFA’s legal framework in connection with the so-called ‘Super League’ project, the UEFA Appeals Body has decided to stay the proceedings until further notice."

From what I've read UEFA are awaiting a European Court ruling regarding the Spanish court action taken by the Three Scabs to protect themselves. It appears the Spanish ruling has validity in Switzerland where UEFA are based. However, UEFA I think are awaiting a decision on whether they can legally go ahead with punishment against the 3 and have the authority to ignore the Spanish court's ruling. They may not be out of the woods yet. But they are in debt. Barca have officially admitted being 1b Euros in debt.

I can't find the article I read to refresh my memory, but if I do I'll post it.

The PL would never do anything as drastic as kicking them out/big points deductions etc, as much as I’d love them to. The broadcasters will all renegotiate the tv deals sighting an inferior quality product, and the PL stands to lose too much money from that.

Thanks for linking, very interesting. SoS were really good on this issue.

The main takeaway, I think, is that if we as fans want to stop owners and authorities screwing us over (even more than they already have done) then we have to stand together, regardless of club allegiance.

The number of teams in the Champions League group stage will rise from 32 to 36 from 2024-25 under changes approved by Uefa.
Under the new format, each team will play eight games over 10 match weeks.
But a plan to give two Champions League places to individual clubs solely on the basis of their past European performance has been abandoned.
Instead, two of the four extra places will be awarded on the performance of a country's clubs in Europe over the previous season

Does that mean a 5th place Premier League finish would get you into the Champions League most seasons?

Yes on basis currently it will do if England teams continue to dominate Champions league 5th place would provide real incentive to aim for I imagine that's the aim for us moving forward.

The format itself is going to be one big table so in addition to changes to qualification, the Champions League group stages will instead be a single league table of all 36 teams, with the top eight teams qualifying and ninth to twenty fourth entering a play off, which will be proceeded by knockouts.
