Champions League revamp

[Alan Whittle]

A light hearted, satirical look at all this nonsense, for those who like that sort of thing.

Mark Steel is Palace.

Was discussed on thetimes podcast - they ran through the finance structure. It's akin to having mortgage approval, it's only a loan when you buy the house

I personally think you're probably right, but none of us have read contracts or were part of the process so none of us really know. Not enough to speak in such definitive terms anyway.

Can't PL just ask the 6 clubs (well all clubs) to sign a contract which states they won't join any other leagues or discuss joining other leagues without prior approval from ### of PL clubs. Doing so will result in £xxxx amount paid to the PL and xxxx amount of points deducted.

If they don't sign then publicly come out and say they clearly don't care about the fans. If they do then happy days.

I think they will do that before the start of next season.

I think four clubs might reject it and break away.

Aye, that’s right. He’s pretty sound Mark Steel. And kudos to your chairman, represented your lot very well in all this.

Perez says contracts were signed and the issue is merely on standby

If that is the case then the prem and uefa should be looking at the harshest sanctions possible

Wow £300 million bye bye RS as a team

Great apology from Josh Kroenke.

"If we get another invite to join the Super League we will consult the fans"

"It didnt work , it wasnt the right time"


Yet some folks this has gone away

I personally think you're probably right, but none of us have read contracts or were part of the process so none of us really know. Not enough to speak in such definitive terms anyway.

I think we can realistically say that the courts aren't going to enforce 1/12 of the prospective revenues (or loan amount, if the funds had not yet been paid) as a penalty clause. The whole thing was doomed the moment HM's government basically threatened to destroy the English clubs as a going concern by withholding the work permits, whether the English clubs held to the contract or not.

Perhaps your courts work differently than ours and I'm off base, but I'd be very surprised.

Break the SL contract apparently has a £300 mil release clause that the 6 clubs must pay

Wowzers if true.

Can't believe that the scab 6 would break that contract if that was a penalty clause known to them.
