“A blatant power grab” – Fans criticise own clubs on UCL plans
Re: “A blatant power grab” – Fans criticise own clubs on UCL plans
There are far worse legal issues with the banning of players from the world cup. They have contracts with their clubs and should not be personally penalised for a breach of contract by their employers.
However, there is nothing wrong with banning players from playing in competitions if it is a player that signs a new contract with, say, arsenal after a ban rule is brought in. That would have a nice knock-on effect if a lot of super league players won't sign new contracts and prefer to let them run down, then signing for a non super league club.

I predict a £5,000 fine for each club and a strongly worded letter from the league.

Will the last team to drop out be crowned as inaugural champions of the ESL?

Re: “A blatant power grab” – Fans criticise own clubs on UCL plans
As football fans, we should NEVER forgive these parasite clubs for wanting to do this. If we play these teams when supporters return next season, we should give the visiting club officials a really, really torrid time.
If I was in charge of Burnley Football Club, they wouldn't be stepping foot though our door. Disgraceful

Re: “A blatant power grab” – Fans criticise own clubs on UCL plans
Must admit I am somewhat surprised by how spineless some of these boardrooms have been having made the commitment - I though they had a bit more about them
This vulnerability needs to be utilised by the 14 and UEFA
I also remain hugely disappointed ratified that stupid Champions League reform yesterday, they need to change that decision pronto

They were spineless doing what they’ve done behind backs.

The tweet suggesting it was Boris getting involved does make sense, currently they control their own destiny and get gov money to support them. He could have seriously pulled the rug from under them.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:08 pmIt’s taken 15 minutes but finally reached SSN.
So it’s
Chelsea - out
Man City - out
Man Utd - turmoil with players demanding answers helping to see Woodward off

Re: “A blatant power grab” – Fans criticise own clubs on UCL plans
I just pray that there are painful sanctions from the Premier League incoming.
It can never be forgotten what they tried to do, and they need a huge, painful example making of them. A European ban for next season for all 12 clubs is a start, do UEFA have the balls for it? A transfer embargo for 12 months perhaps also? I am unsure a fine would achieve anything such is the might of these clubs.

15-20 point deduction for the start of next season would be my choice.jedi_master wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:13 pmI just pray that there are painful sanctions from the Premier League incoming.

Thought about setting up a funding page for Perez at Madrid. He's going to be needing some dosh to get Madrid out of their financial hole now he won't be getting help from Chelsea, City etc.

You would hope so jedi but they’ll strut back in as if nothing has happened I fear although I’ve previously posted that this is an opportunity for the other clubs to regain some of the power.jedi_master wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:13 pmI just pray that there are painful sanctions from the Premier League incoming.

I don’t think they would admit it was Boris, not good PR.
Much better to say they listened to the fans. Being a cynic.

Point deduction means they still have the chance to finish top 4 , just adds more of a challenge and they would think a lot harder before trying this again.

They generally have a good working relationship with their supporter groups and they were shocked at the reaction from those groups. It’s reported that Abramovich stepped in at that point.Lowbankclaret wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:18 pmAre they saying the world fan reaction or the 300 that turned up tonight.

Even before anything from Johnson yesterday there were suggestions that City & Chelsea had been somewhat reluctant so it was no surprise that they pulled out first.

I have to say, the claims that the ESL would be really exciting are certainly being proved right.

Not seen any confirmed reports of any other clubs pulling out but Ed going suggests Utd are not far behind.
