They're not pulling out though, are they? They basically want to stay in the Premier League but bin off the Champions League, with this new thing by default being the CL but with them getting all the money and no competition. I'm not sure what the regulations would be if the PL kicked them out, as then presumably the legal comeback would be on them rather than the clubs, unless there are clear rules that would allow them to do so.

It’s if they pull out of the new super league mate! They’re facing fines for it.
 
That statement by the PL 14 works. Lets everyone know that domestically, we're all on the same page.
La Liga meet today. So when the 3 leagues have a consensus, they'll go back to UEFA, probably by the end of the week.

I assume you don't work in a corporate environment? The CEO of Tesco doesn't tell his branch staff that they're putting the prices up, it just happens and the little people are left to deal with the consequences. In this scenario, the players and managers are the little people, they're not relevant to the billionaires who are pulling the strings.

No mate I don’t. Fair enough, I’m a cynic admittedly. I simply don’t trust the press or the premier league and so on.

Oh yes can see Sky and others with the billions forked in viewing rights allowing that to happen just as much as this greedy 6 diluting the TV market.

That's a risk. Under no circumstances would I have been willing to bear it. They can price that risk into what they will pay.

Otherwise, I'm conceding control of my own competition to a third party and financial realities. Not happening.

Trying to force the owners out? Or force the league to take action on the owners but the clubs escape punushment?

No problem with this tbh

This has potential tbh. It actually gets to the crux of the matter too - the owners of these clubs are the main culprits.

I doubt it's practical though. It will be very hard, if not impossible, to force people to sell their shares.

No, quite right mate. I'm not saying you're wrong by the way, just that it wouldn't actually be very surprising at all if the managers were blindsided by this. I think this whole situation just highlights that what we as fans see as 'the club' and what actually constitutes 'the club' are very different. We're bothered about the team, they're bothered about the money.
