If they are planning to ban players from the ESL from international football I hope they bring this in after two transfer windows have passed and include the ability for players to break their existing club contracts because when they signed them there was no mention that in doing so they were jeopardising their international careers due to the potential unilateral action of their club’s owners. Once those two windows have passed then the remaining players at those clubs will have chosen to chase the lucre and will have full knowledge and more importantly full control over their destiny.
There would need to be a process in place so that an ESL participant club is compensated by the receiving club should a player choose to extend their international career rather than stay with their current club and the amount should be worked out based on just how much the owners of these clubs have shown they value international football...let’s say £5 for every cap and £10 for every goal!
Thus should Harry Kane decide to break his Spurs contract and sign for West Ham to preserve his international career, then his record of 53 caps and 34 goals would entitle Spurs to six hundred and five pounds compensation from the Hammers!

I would let them do it, on the basisi that all the players on current contracts can either stay with their clubs, or leave free of fees.

Clubs opting into the European Super League should be banned immediately from the Premier League, says former England captain Alan Shearer.
Interesting this, as if you are immediately banning them from the PL you should really ban them from the remaining rounds of the cup competitions too. Sure you can let Spurs and Man City play out a game on one of their own pitches at their own expense but refuse them the use of Wembley and ensure any prize monies not yet paid to the six to be distributed EQUALLY amongst the other 86 teams that took part. Last Sunday’s semi final between Saints and Foxes effectively was the FA Cup final and Leicester should be awarded the cup.
The 14 teams left in the PL are playing for the 1-14 positional prize money. The prize money for places 15 - 20 should be pooled and the 14 should decide what gets done with it, they can either dish it out amongst themselves or place it into a firefighting fund to be used to stop a Bury like situation again. The team utilising the fund will still have to face points deductions and the like, but not extinction.
At the end of the season the championship playoffs are scrapped and all six clubs above the playoff line are promoted, No relegation from the Championship. In L1 similarly all six clubs above the playoff line are promoted. No relegation from L1. In L2 an adjustment has to be made because seven clubs are above the playoff line. Here I reckon teams finishing in the top 5 are promoted automatically and team 6 plays team 7 for the right to join them. No relegation from L2. In the National League a similar situation arises so again the top 5 are promoted automatically and team 6 plays team 7 for the right to join them.
I was toying with the idea that the expulsion of the six could be completed by replacing them with six geographically similar non-league sides by having relegation and promotion between L2 and the NL play out as planned and then if, say Hartlepool and Torquay achieved promotion then....Stockport County could be invited to join L2 to replace Manchester United, a Bury Phoenix club could replace Man City, Sutton could replace Chelsea, Dagenham replace Spurs, Barnet (or Borehamwood) replace Arsenal and Marine replace Liverpool....but that wasn’t really a fair way to do it!

Pulling out isn’t enough.
If these clubs don’t want to compete in the Champions League punish them all with 30 point deductions for the next 3 years. Let them fear potential relegation(looking at you Spurs and Arsenal, two clubs who should not have even been considered), and let other clubs get a chance at the Champions League.

It won’t happen . They’ll end up demanding a bigger slice of the pie and they’ll probably get it. Mission achieved. Well that was over even quicker than I thought ! 😂

Or was it? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ? Wonder if they extracted a price from the vested powers behind the scenes? Which may have been their intention all along?

So this is over and I guess the incredible injustice in football in this country will continue and it will still be about how much money you have.
By tomorrow the press will have moved onto to someone else and those running the other premiership teams will not give two hoots about the clubs in the leagues below them.
No one cares when lower league teams are screwed over by those at the top.

I suspect it was the first step in a campaign to get more money. It might have been the second or third step after their Under 23 team invasion of our own League 1/League 2 cup and the attempt two years ago to get their B teams into the EFL. They'll be back with something else in a year or so’s time. Little conscience about anything and very thick skins. UTG!

I think that there is absolutely no mood amongst the FA, League Management and as final resort, Government to bend or cede to what the pig 6 might want. In fact it could be more about doing the opposite of what they want!
