UEFA president confirms all 12 Super League clubs will be punished over breakaway plans

[spursbhoy67]

Does anyone really believe that the lawyers of the 12 clubs involved have not gone through every potential ramification for joining the ESL?

No one has clearly shown what rules the EPL clubs have broken. They can only be punished based on the current rules and not on what pundits and fans want to happen.

The six clubs involved are worth 2/3 of the global television deal for the Premier League. They won’t be punished to the degree that the media wants and certainly not with relegation.

 

[lis spur]

They cant punish the Board without punishing the club and by extension the supporters who are allegedly the very people they cherish above all else ,Its always been about the money £60 -120 tickets no matter whose name is above the door!!

Teams cannot enter or particpate in competitions not approved by UEFA, the PL .

Enter is the legal word they will base their case on, as will the defence I expect.

Did the competition ever exist? Was the Super League ever registered anywhere? All I can find is a website. No headquarters. It's a proposal not a competition and not all the supposed competition entries were on board.

Last weekend it was leaked by Perez etc without the full knowledge of the clubs involved. One high up board member with a day to day running of the club, who can not be named, even came out and said "We were lied to this isn't what we signed up for"

Once it came out it never had a chance to succeed. I can't see how any club can be punished for something that didn't happen or possibly even exist.

All it did was succeed in giving Sky Sports News something to report on for once.

As far as I can tell the fans have been punished enough.

Judging by the clusterfuck of the announcement and the subsequent dealing with the fallout, I'm not convinced the fuckers did any due dilligence at all.

Two questions the lawyers will spend months arguing about. The clubs signed contracts. Does that mean they entered the competition and broke PL rules?

So I look in premier league handbook and I think you wrong:

L.9. Except with the prior written approval of the Board, during the Season a Club shall
not enter or play its senior men’s first team in any competition other than:
L.9.1. the UEFA Champions League;
L.9.2. the UEFA Europa League;
L.9.3. the F.A. Cup;
L.9.4. the F.A. Community Shield;
L.9.5. the Football League Cup; or
L.9.6. competitions sanctioned by the County Association of which it is a
member.
L.10. Each Club

So it requires senior team and during season. Also to be sanctioned it require actuall attempt to play a game not just signing intent.
Whats interesting PL have a power to ask Levy to resign.

So they could play the under 18 team in that competition and the senior team in the PL. Go for it and Morgan has under written it let's make some dosh boys.

Again, does signing a contract and announcing the league during the season count as entering the league?

I'm not saying it's either. I'm saying that is what the lawyers will be arguing over.

 

[punky]

The punishment will be money. It's UEFA care about really.

Yep I understand, iam not lawyer my self.
I just think that there is enough wiggle space for good lawyers to get us out without consequences.

But the fact that Premier league can demand despicable 6 directors to resign is interesting and I don’t think that any one or media mention it.

But imagine that this is actual plan. Get all 12 clubs kick out of their leagues to get supporters blessing to start their own alternative.

 

[Twizzle]

Just like they punish the Financial Fair Play cheats.

 

[Tony-Bish]

It’s ok, they exited within their 14 day cooling off period

 

[yankspurs]

Honestly, fine. A year ban for the 12 clubs would be more than deserved. But at the same time, UEFA deserves a super league to actually happen. A beyond corrupt, farcical organization like that deserves all the shit they get. Maybe clean up your own ranks. And maybe actually care about racism instead of pretending. The fucking audacity of UEFA is staggering. Banning the fucking victim of racism?!?!? Just fuck you. Eat shit ceferin.

UEFA deserves to be done away with. A closed super league was just the wrong way to go about it.

A corrupt farcical organisation deserves to be fucked over by another corrupt, farcical organisation?

?

 

[Armstrong_11]

slap on the wrist in 3... 2...

thou I do disagree with the breakaway league, it's nice to see UEFA have some competition. maybe they can up their standards.

PGA has a new name to challenge them, so they have to create somekind of bonus to retain stars. it would be nice if UEFA does something to help the less well off clubs around Europe.

It deserves to be fucked over by a super league type thing. Just not the trash that Florentino Perez came up with in a day because his clubs beyond broke.

 

[whitesocks]

The best punishment suggested so far was to force the owners to attend matches.
Levy to his credit does go to games. We'll have to think of another rule to move him on - height restriction or something.

i would be delighted not to be in europey next season.
