12 clubs, so a 12 point deduction for each of them and then a 3 year ban from all European competitions.
General Football Nonsense
Out of interest, if it’s true about Woodward’s resignation at the end of the year, how is his job still tenable?! Surely he has to go on gardening leave as of right now?!
The fall out from all this is going to be carnage.
SM001 yes very very fair
ScottBailey Twitter speculation unfortunately
nicksneddon Is it though? The players and coaches would be the only ones to suffer. Hit the owners where it hurts, their bank accounts. The only thing they care about.
Salient comment from a mate, not from an expert, but I think it’s probably appropriate…
“The clubs were expecting a war with FIFA and UEFA, not a war with FIFA, UEFA, the players, the fans, the government, the royal family and every fucker else”
I doubt there is going to be punishment - as SM says, it was the owners behind this…. the Champs league would suffer enormously if the twelve were excluded - does anyone want that…really? And moreover - after this the whole idea of an ESL is dead and buried.
The clubs should be punished because I despise them all.
Liverpool have just lost a sponsor. Oh dear.
SM001 Deduct enough points that they don’t get European footy and therefore European money. Better still, ban them from Europe. 3 years? 6 years? They’ll feel that. Mansour would probably get off if he thought he had to wait 6 years for another pop at Europe. Harder to attract players and managers with that sort of ban too, so shirt sales and other associated marketing bollocks would be down the pan. Lots of mid table finishes too, so it would be a good shake up for the Prem. This might actually ‘save football’ 
There’s only one Super League, and Warrington are going to win it this year thanks.
