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.
Wouldnt work whitey
Levy manages to go under the bar every time

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.

The trouble is UEFA create rules such as "bringing the game into disrepute" that can be moulded to fit almost any situation. The lawyers would have been as sure as they can be when advising their clubs but UEFA are practically a authority and judiciary to themselves and WILL find the clubs guilty that they want to. Whether they let the EPL c;lubs off lightly, time will tell. If they don't, we have to put our hopes in the CAS.

City flouting FFP has shown that CAS aren't fazed by the UEFA mafia at least, which is nice.

"UEFA confirm that Tottenham Hotspur is a special case as they should not have been involved with the ESL in the first place. They never consulted their fans or apologised for their mistake. As a consequence of all these circumstances we have demanded the CEO stands down with immediate effect"

Suggestions from Ceferin that clubs will be shown leniency for withdrawing (i.e. harshest punishment for Real, Barca & Juventus / softest punishment for the six English clubs). Surely whether a club was an instigator / sheep should have most bearing on the punishment though (i.e. Real, Juventus & Man Utd punished more harshly).
