What do you mean why? Because they're scumbags. The only reason they and City joined the league was cause their unfair advantage was going to disappear. But now that everyone is mad at the other clubs, they get to be the white knights and jump off a potentially sinking ship to go back to the old system they were advantaged by. 

 

Exactly.  Tits on here already lapping the shit up whilst we’ll fall by the wayside in the coming years thanks to the non FFP and owners who have no interest in throwing money at us.

We should get our statement out ASAP. Withdraw. This is going nowhere, fast now. We can at least try to save a little bit of face by not being the last to jump ship. 

 

Either way, tits up or not, I wouldn't be surprised if the FA/Premier League/whoever didn't hammer all the clubs involved to try and send out a deterrent message. 

On what grounds can you punish a club for actually doing nothing. Especially domestically they never intended to leave the Premier league, just the champions league. Any punishment would get past the first legal challenge

Great PR coup for the cunts, but really they don't need the money, and nor do City who I expect will follow Chelsea out the door.

Something I said when SoS was starting was we need far more cooperation with fans of other clubs. It was clear in those days the game was being taken from us and if we wanted to keep it, we needed to get past rivalries for a while and remember what we all love about the game is pretty much the same. Instead over those 10-15 years since, while there mightn't be as much obvious match day violence, the fan bases are further apart than ever due to tits on social media. It's all too late now as all anyone cares about is self interest and as soon as someone puts up a counter argument, instead of listening the reaction is "what about ......" . While tribalism is a major part of the game, it has gone way too far and imo helped create this mess we're in now. 


Excellent post, couldnt agree more.

They'd probably couch it in bringing the game into disrepute terms. I'd agree that it'd likely be challenged (if it happens). But, I reckon you'll see prominent figures calling for some sort of action in the likely event that the ESL stuff all collapses.
