If the other 5 clubs don’t withdraw from the ESL now Chelsea will be able to be the deciding vote to kick all the teams involved out of the prem.

[Hugh Jass]

I actually have a couple of thoughts on what could be practically done, asides from calling everyone involved a c**t...

The clubs want this place by August because they know they’re not going to be allowed into any UEFA competition for a long time now. So the clubs, football associations, UEFA, FIFA, governments, everyone should throw as many legal challenges, appeals, courts of arbitration, etc as they can to delay for as long as possible. Two or three years of no European revenue would hit these bastards hard.

Secondly the likes of Sky and BT should only fulfill their bare minimum contractual onbligations to showing these clubs on TV next season. And even then only ever show them at home to Burnley or Norwich, never against each other. No “Super Mega Sundays”. No United v Liverpool or Arsenal v Spurs. Block it all out. Reduce their revenue from televised matches as much as they can.

Being hit in the pocket is the only language these c**ts understand.

Will the 14 forgive Chelsea so quick?

If they vote against the rest of you we will.

Bit odd, guilty as the other 5. If liverpool pull out tonight, forgive them tonight as long as they vote against the other 4? 

[squirrelarmy]

We need at least one more club to make a statement of withdrawal otherwise Mike Ashley will be throwing his immense weight into the mix.

If city do drop as well do they press on without them and Chelsea (if reports about them both being invited late on are true)?

Nah, we only need one for a 15 team vote. Liverpool can fuck right off.

[squirrelarmy]

City also out now

[Hugh Jass]

Part of me respects Chelsea even less for not having the balls to go through with it.

They’re already past the point of no return.

Chelsea too super for the superleague

The likes of man u, liverpool and madrid have looked to change the rules in recent years because they see City and Chelsea as competition, not allies.

Barcelona seem to be backtracking too now. The decision to join hasn't be ratified by vote yet.

The scenes when Tottenham are the only team left in the European Super League.

A good PR statement from the clubs withdrawing so quickly can still turn it around IMO e.g. ‘upon reflection they realised the ESL visions were not what they were sold, and it wouldn’t be right to go ahead blah blah blah’

The Real Madrid president is appearing on one of the big programs in Spain in a couple of hours to talk about it. Hopefully we can get a few more to quit before then.

Too late for any of that. They knew what they were getting themselves into. They shouldn’t be forgiven or forgotten.

They’ve underestimated the strength of feeling here. They probably expected at worst a few blokes with bedsheets outside the ground. Nothing like this.

[squirrelarmy]

Sanctions still need to come in against the owners behind this. Just because this attempt seems to have been defeated it doesn’t mean they won’t try again in the future. 
 

Football still has an issue with how it’s financed and something will need to be done to secure the long term future.

Spot on.

Both Chelsea and City wanted it.

Hopefully the other clubs and not just the 14 in the Premier legue, will realise the top clubs have to much power.

So can we go to how shit the new champions league looks? Also how corrupt fifa and uefa are.
