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

UEFA are absolutely fucking delighted with how this has played out. Just quietly slip their CL plan out the back door while everyone is riled up at this.

The “Swiss Model” can suck it

Also Atletico and Barca both pulling out it seems

25 point deduction for Arsenal seems fair. And 5 for Fulham too. Pretty sure they were accessories.

Right?

Just relegate the big 6.

Looks like the whole thing is collapsing now.

From “we’re breaking away” to disbanded in 48 hours is pretty impressive.

[Hugh Jass]

At the very least ban them all from European competition for a few years.

[st dan]

Just said on Sky Sports News that they all signed 23 year contracts to the ESL, so the legals could get messy before they can officially withdraw.

Even better. Would love it now if they are tied and actually have to go ahead with it.

You think UEFA have the bottle?

I think they’ll be content with withdrawals, maybe fines and transfer bans, but exile from major comps will never happen

Would be amusing.

Bravo to Man City by the way for somehow making PSG look like the good guys for their upcoming match.

They’ll just have to settle the contract out of court. 
 

Looks like there’s going to be some desperate selling of players happening to fund legal bills. 
 

Unfortunately it seems that the Glazers are still going to benefit financially from this if they are on the ESL board.

What would it say about UEFA is they didn’t ban them?

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.

United rumoured out now, you've got your deciding voter now. 😀

Are we in a “last one to pull out gets booted out the PL” situation?

I hope it’s Liverpool.

Aren’t the Glazers the architects of the whole thing?

That they’ve got no bottle

[Hugh Jass]

How many teams need to pull out before we get invited?

You would say madrid, united and Liverpool were leading the way.

Then they can sing 'we will walk alone.

Wonder if the other clubs play the waiting game now, hoping that maybe they won’t have to pay the legal penalties of breaking the ESL contract if the completion collapses though no fault of their own - ie not enough clubs to compete.  

[jyoung]

Fuck me, it's all going on.

At least we have a game tonight that actually matters now. If ESL was a thing, this game would mean nothing.
