I would love it if 15 of the 20 EPL clubs (which is exactly how many you need to pass something) vote to penalize all the breakaway clubs 20 points THIS season. Nothing can technically stop this. I think the clubs should be crushed.
yeah but that might mean west ham win the league and no one wants that.
Super League announcement coming in 2-3 hours apparently, according to NBC here in America. Something tells me the teams are now on a Zoom call re-evaluating their options.
I think nothing will come off this if all the leagues and associations stand firm. A small league that covers only three countries would not generate as much revenue as they hope, kick them out of all FIFA or EUFA sanctioned competitions and ban any players in it from playing for their country. People saying about the big six leaving would destroy part of our game, well other clubs would eventually fill the void.
I’m sure their assumption is that the domestic leagues would never kick them out as they are to big, because I don’t think they could ever replace their revenues with an 11/12 team league. Still,their winging managers will get what they want - fewer league games, no cups and no international call-ups.

The EPL needs 15 of 20 clubs to pass any measure. It requires no vote for someone to leave. This is why the Super League wanted 6 clubs from the EPL. The remaining clubs would be just 14 votes, not enough to pass any measure against the other 6 even if the Super League falls through. Clearly this was on their mind.

Also ban any youth player registered with them clubs from representing their country at respective levels and to keep the ban in place if they leave the club. So basically if you sign schoolboy forms with that club, you’ll never represent your country. should also ban any loaning of players from any of those clubs.
The irony of a Sky Sports presenter talking about greed in football.
Neville benefited hugely from greed during his playing and presenting career, now gets up in arms because he'll miss out on the money.
Oh do shut up you pillock! 😤
I'm not buying Sky Sports being up in arms about the integrity of the game.
They're protecting their huge Premier League investment, nothing more.
In addition who is going to provide the Super League teams with the TV revenue they'll miss out on if they get chucked out of the Premier League.
Of course you'll get the Asian and American markets etc buying into it but lets not pretend that SKY and BT wont buy rights as they'll be too scared to lose subscriptions
England could tell the clubs that leave the price to come back into the English system when the SL fails is $1 billion each and they can begin in the National League and work their way back up.

I think you are massively missing the point - Money in the game has broadly been good - at the heart of this however is the removal of competition and the impact on the wider pyramid.
This could reignite my interest in domestic football (outside of Charlton).
It's hard to imagine anyone apart from the top six winning anything at the moment. Chelsea have featured in 3 of the last 4 FA Cup finals, its just getting boring. If there's a chance to escape the Rangers / Celtic syndrome I'm all for it.

If they're not in their domestic leagues they run the high risk of not winning a trophy in a season

Man United started the American takeover of football with the Glazers and didn't say anything about it at the time.

If they really do go through with it, then good riddance.
As others have said, fuck them off and tell them to fuck off if it goes tits up.
should also ban any loaning of players from any of those clubs.

MOTHER OF GOD!
Great, passionate speech & absolutely spot on
