So the ESL clubs think they can leave and stay? 17:16 - Apr 19 with 967 views

Saw the Man Utd statement that because it was midweek they could continue in the PL and it seems the other clubs think this as well:

"The ESL said the founding clubs had agreed to establish a "new midweek competition" with teams continuing to "compete in their respective national leagues"."

Seems fairly easy to just tell them they won't be allowed to play in their domestic leagues if they go through with it. Damage is already done though, even if it falls apart now fans have seen how greedy they can actually be.

They'll throw a few crumbs and they'll be allowed to stay.

If the pushback remains I suspect they'll try and buy 20 more clubs off with super league 2 to replace the europa league.

I do wonder if this would have happened had we had 70,000 fans in OT, 60,000 in the Emirates etc all voicing their disapproval

Regular midweek games in Europe will be beyond the pocket of most fans, so it will be games in front of home fans only.

Of course it would. The fans are just a minor nuisance.

Are you going to put a bet on Norwich winning the league next year?

That's because TV and sponsorship money far outweighs income from the fans.

Except that the TV money comes from fans buying subscriptions ...
