This is my view. The English game is effed either way. May as well sack them off and hope to restructure to something that resembles what the fans want it to be.

TBF clubs who've refinanced with big loans from US banks / hedge funds would be the likely scabs.
These teams cannot have their own super league and play in the premier league. That's the long and short of it.
There will be a lot of back and forth and negotiating over the next months but the PL position has to be that if this league starts, then the 6 are out. If it comes to that point then you move on without them. There are no good solutions in this for clubs like us but we need to make sure the PL is competitive and has integrity. The short term hit would be huge, but British football will recover in time and life would go on.
The idea that football can't continue without these 6 is a ludicrous angle. It can't continue in the current form with the current costs and business models but the game would continue and keep growing because people like football and that won't change. It's two teams, two nets, a ball, people watching, a bit of excitement after a boring week. A simple game that people like.

Yes but they didn't decide that they were staying there did they?
The problem is, the majority of these owners are thousands of miles away and it really doesn't effect them 1 tiny bit.
Thats why "we" need not to demonize the players and the managers of these clubs, these are the people we need on side and in fairness the majority are.

Watching footy for me has changed anyway this season.
I used to watch all the build up etc. Now I just turn on at kick off watch the game and then turn it off.
Loads of games I haven’t even watched, as Brighton / Sheff United really dosent bother me.
Buying the league isn't the big problem. That's the dangers of a largely free market - if someone sees inherent value in pumping money into something, so be it; it's up to others to match it or bow out. It's a separate discussion as to whether we should have salary caps, draft systems etc.
The problem with the Super League isn't financial; it's the competitive aspect. As in there's no competition; these teams no longer have a risk of failure. They are franchised. Nobody else gets in, nobody goes out.

City fans in general you mean?
Because we have willingly jumped into bed with our arch enemies who have tried
very hard to put us out of business for the last 7 years. Apart from it being a closed
shop (even more than it was previously). It just stinks from top to bottom.
I was DEVASTATED.
That was peak football for me. Right in the sweet spot of being a kid and knowing what was going on.
Gutted when he chose them.
The players have the ability to kill this stone dead by refusing to play, mass gestures, speaking out.
They won't. You'll get the odd token tweet.
The ”earn it” is a very effective marketing campaign, people really do have an understanding of fairness from a very early age

Even their own fans want them to be deducted points and relegated....

Of course.
But I’d say the Leicester league win is more relevant to what could be achieved if you get me ?
