Green light for the Super League?

Didn’t this judgement say they can leave without punishment ?

So the EPL and UEFA will have to swallow it if it does go ahead.

Disgraceful

"European Court of Justice have ruled that UEFA and FIFA acted against competition law when they blocked the formation of the European Super League in 2021. "

FIFA, can't stop them - fair enough, off they go sooner the better
They can make it awkward for the players Re. Internationals though
But if the Sandi's get invloved like LIV Golf
Money will talk and FIFA will eventually fold

So clubs in the super leagues can have guaranteed inclusion no matter where they finish in the EPL as long as they don't get relegated from the 'blue' league.

Clubs will just down tools when they can't win the EPL, the end of the season will mainly be glorified friendly matches making a mockery of the league.

So clubs will remain in the ‘Star League’ for evermore unless they finish rock bottom of the Star League, regardless of domestic performance. But clubs being relegated from the Blue League will be based on domestic performance. Maybe they will need to finish 12th in the PL to ensure their ‘blue league’ status?

It’s nonsense that is not desirable to the consumer imo. There’s too much opposition against it for it to come off.

It’s definitely desirable to Americans and fans in the Far East and Africa. They outnumber us legacy fans by quite a bit.

A question, does this apply to the PL as it was a European court ruling? Can the PL stop English clubs playing in it? Dunno...

So will they get their " fines" back ? God love them. Acted against competition law, wow ! Then what did financial fair play or profit and sustainability do ? Jesus the sheer cheek of them, beginning to truly hate modern day football, its being killed.

P&S has never been tested in a court of law.. I'd imagine if it was it would fold like a bad umbrella.

I was wrong

There is a punishment if they decide to join the ESL but that’s a £25m and a points deduction.

That does not go far enough as a points deduction as we have shown could mean little in the grand scheme of things and the money they would earn a £25m fine is nothing.

Expulsions from the football leagues and all titles stripped from the club is the only punishment that would work.

The football governance bill can strip licences from those clubs playing home games at their grounds is the biggest punishment

Here we go......new European Super League Club Competition announced......this should be fun........

European Super League: Revamped proposal launched for European competition

Revamped plans for a controversial European Super League are announced after a top court rules that banning clubs from joining a breakaway league was unlawful.

That would be perfect.. when Barcelona and Madrid start mopping up the best players and inevitably dominate the league others will soon come crawling back and be told where to go.

If the sly 6 feck off, the “other 14” are going to get a severely reduced yearly payment when Sky/TNT/Amazon deastically reduce their payment. What a mess this could be.
