Punishment for the 6 clubs?

[enmac]

Difficult to be objective because it obviously affects City favourably, but have just read this tweet.

Points deduction, minimum. Probably coupled with European ban next season (though a big enough points deduction would stop them qualifying anyway unless they win EL/CL). 

Fines are fairly pointless, but why not, give it all to grassroots. 
 

Transfer bans feel a bit random given the nature of this. 

[Pliskin]

Agreed. They can’t let this slide. Otherwise it could happen again. Punish them, and let them pay the price. I’m sure the fans are embarrassed (bar Arsenal). 

[Tielemans63]

Nothing will happen. I'm certain of it.

This does feel likely, I agree.

Take off and nuke their grounds from orbit.

Harry Kane must be made to shave that ridiculous beard. I will accept nothing less.

[North Leeds Fox]

Very little will happen but it needs to be a huge punishment here. It will just happen again if not.

I'm more concerned about these new champions league plans. Whilst all the attention has been swung towards the ESL, uefa have been conjuring up this new champions league format. There is no way they can go ahead and keep allowing the "big clubs" in every year regardless of where they finish in their league. If it becomes the likes of us, Lille, Atalanta etc can't qualify, surely these clubs would look to take legal action against uefa

[NaijaFox]

Crickets...that's what!

 

Nothing major will happen to them. UEFA and the EPL will be glad to welcome the prodigals back.

[Webbo]

Can't see any punishment. If they've shat it after 2 days they're not going to try it again soon. Their future threats for more money will also ring a bit hollow now as well.

[foxer]

In an ideal world it would be large fines with the proceeds being spread around the football League clubs and below. Doubt there would be any legal basis to do it though.  

[NewEnglandFox]

That guy has 156 followers and the tweet has received 0 retweets. No traction.

 

I'll bite though. Doubt there will be punishment considering they never actually left. And hoping for punishment only because it'll help us is soft.

Try for a 2 year European tournament ban, expecting it to become 1 year on appeal. So difficult, the owners need punishment not the players, fans, management etc.Having all those less games to play though would only increase their chances of dominating at the top of the Premier League so be careful what you wish for. Ultimately, somehow, the target has to be to get the six owners out, they threatened the stability of the whole sport and continuing in it should be untenable

We should be throwing the kitchen sink at them. Completely **** them up. Massive point deduction for next season, massive fines, take away any prize money from this season.

If they aren't severely punished they'll pull this shite again in a few years.

Needs to be heavy punishment to deter repeat offenders. 

 

I wish there was a way to punish the owners and board without also making the fans, managers and players, many of whom have been vocal against it, suffer but I don't see how that could be done.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

I don’t think punishing the clubs is what’s required here, I think what is needed is a mechanism incorporated into the organisation of football clubs that provides a handbrake to anything like this happening again...

 

And the obvious answer to that is making it a mandated requirement for ALL affiliated league clubs to have meaningful fan representation at board level and that a fixed percentage of the club is owned by the fans - so that no club can ever be completely owned by one individual.

UEFA, The Premier League, Seria A and La Liga aren’t going to penalise their biggest income makers in this way if they come crawling back with tails between their legs.

 

What will probably happen though is changes at higher board level of these clubs so that the people then in charge can be sufficiently distanced from this disastrous turn of affairs.

Absolutely this - not a shadow of a doubt.

[Mike Oxlong]

It would be nice if they could punish the owners rather than something that affects the players and fans who opposed this

In U.S. sports, there is usually a mechanism in place to force an owner to sell a club. But alas, that's not an option in European football, so the clubs should be punished, since  that's the only way to punish their owners.

 

All 12 of the Super League clubs should be relegated. This will provide revenue to the lower division, and in England's case, it will take at least two years for all 6 to make their way back, maybe more. They should be banned from Champions League for 3 years, but not European football. They could still get a spot by winning a cup, giving more prestige to those tournaments.

 

But this bullpucky about Chelsea and Man City being the "saviours of football" -- rats leaving the ship. The league was doomed without PSG or Bayern, and they didn't even have a guaranteed broadcaster. It was a debt-financed venture for debt-ridden clubs. To hell with all of them.

[Yes N'Didi]

Project big picture in October was a dry run to gain sufficient power to ensure they could leave without a hitch. 
 

They will u-turn now and look like heroes only to pull the same stunt down the line, or at the next tv deal refuse to sign contracts unless they earn the lions share of broadcast money.

 

Points deduction is the the only way to deter. It won’t happen though.

Yup, zero chance of anything more than a slap on the wrist and about a 1% chance of even that.

With all this Love in...

WBA fans will be showing their Love for Vardy, this Thursday..

 

[urban.spaceman]

There HAS to be a punishment. And a strong one. The other 14 won’t stand for nothing being done.
