They didn't enter a competition, they signed a memorandum of understanding I believe.

Points deduction and a transfer ban for the scab 6

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I've said this before, if there is no punishment towards the 6 clubs, Moshiri should just break FFP as there will obviously be no punishments involved.

Don Carlo stated this in his presser a couple of weeks ago too.

Why aren't Spurs and Arsenal supporting us in this?

Oh sorry.

 

[Michael Tsui]

Honestly it would be easier to pass a law for the government to force a buyout of out the involved clubs for £1 / to issue 51% shares for the government to buy at a grand total of £1 than for this to pass.

It’s conveniently been all brushed under the carpet now. I very much doubt there will be any proper punishments.

I fear that your right, but if there is no punishment it WILL, sooner or later, creep back out from under the carpet

Without a doubt.

Which is why a points deduction for the start of next season is essential IMO.

It is the only thing that will keep them honest next time this beast raises its ugly head.

And it most certainly will if the consequences are not severe.

And in the next day's article:

Everton hit with points deduction for insisting that the 6 clubs receive a points deduction. A PL spokesperson said while what the others did was bad, 'playing the ref' was truly abhorrent and that Everton deserve the 100 points penalty they have been docked and serves as a warning to all other clubs. (although this turned out to be the one and only time it was ever issued.)

lol...we need to be careful ...remember 'many a true word spoke in jest'

Yeah it will. I have no confidence that the footballing authorities will do what’s required. There’s too many people in bed with each other.

I’ve been losing interest in football for a while but this last year it accelerated. The furlough nonsense from Liverpool and Spurs, £15 a game PPV, the European Super League and the faux outrage from EUFA has all but sapped away the remainder of my enthusiasm

 

[PaddyJames]

As much as it would be great to see them punished etc but what exactly for? Saying they would breakaway? They didn't actually do it. Not sure it's an easy task when their lawyers will point to that simple fact. Happy to be educated because I don't really know much detail about it. And also while you're at it can someone explain to me why the flipping muckety hell Spurs were included????

Botched breakaway to European Super League costs ‘big six’ clubs millions​

The Premier League is close to agreeing a settlement with the European Super League rebels that would mean the “big six” clubs paying out millions of pounds for their part in the failed breakaway.
The six — the two Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur — have not faced formal disciplinary charges from the Premier League, as efforts have focused instead on striking a similar peace deal to Uefa’s settlement with the English clubs, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Although some of the other 14 Premier League clubs had wanted harsher sanctions for the breakaway attempt, including points deductions, league chiefs are understood to have proposed a financial settlement.


A bone of contention has been over whether all of the money should go to good causes or some should be distributed among the other 14 clubs. Following heated talks, it appears an agreement is close and may even be finalised before tomorrow’s annual meeting.
The Premier League is believed to have taken the view that a settlement agreement would be much quicker than opening a formal disciplinary process, and less divisive in the long term. The league is also planning changes to its constitution to block any similar breakaway attempt.

The Uefa sanctions led to the American owners of Liverpool, United and Arsenal paying up to £7 million from their own pockets. Fenway Sports Group, the Glazers and Kroenke Sports and Entertainment said they would cover the financial hit arising from the failed coup rather than using club revenues. Nine of the 12 sides who sought to start the breakaway league accepted measures which included the withholding of 5 per cent of the revenues they would receive from Uefa club competitions for one season — worth between £3.5 million and £5.5 million.

In addition, the nine clubs agreed to donate a combined £13 million to Uefa which will be used for the benefit of children, youth and grassroots football in local communities across Europe, including the UK, and to have fines of € 100 million (about £86m) imposed if they seek to play in such an unauthorised competition again.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, who have refused to pull out of the ESL scheme, are facing possible bans from European competition after being charged by Uefa.

It isn't nothing, but it also isn't much to take some money from literal money printing factories. It won't deter anything.

A farce , in fact the legitimacy of it was highly questionable from the beginning. they know people will continue to pay money and continue to be invested in football , those clubs were never going to be deducted points and next season will carry on as if it never happened.

It's like being told to write 50 lines : 'I must not be a naughty boy', and then be given an apple by the teacher.
