[Football] Reasonable punishment for the "Legacy Six" ?

Reasonable punishment for the "Legacy Six" ?

you can refer to the regulation broken? there will be the schedule of permissible sanctions too.

as far as i can tell they never got as far as actually establishing a tournament. somewhere theres a twitter laughing at this very point, all they had was a loan repayment plan.

Irrelevant. They put this out without any approval from the PL. a breach of the rules:

They will be punished in some capacity and rightly so. How extreme is unknown. I sadly suspect they won’t be punished enough.

and lets also reflect on what damage has been done. a proposal made, 3 days of headlines, in which nothing really changed, except the reputation of some clubs and their owners. it might lead to a few unpopular owners leaving, and give the authorities a kick up the arse on governance. just being realistic, rather than scream for punishment then be disappointed, attention and focus is better spent on what changes for the future.

Pie in the sky, there won't be any meaningful punishment imo.

They'll probably offer to play the rest of this seasons home fixtures behind closed doors and then ask if they can come off the naughty step.

 

[Dick Head]

I think we should brush it under the carpet and hope everyone just forgets what they tried to do and it goes back to how it was before. Sorry, I mean that's what I think will happen.

I think a Champions League ban for a couple of seasons would be appropriate and universally supported.

A ST next to you and Sheboo...?

Cut off their googlies ?

I came on this thread to post exactly the same.

Lovely stuff. Not my words Portlock, the words of Shakin' Stevens

Right off.

 

[portlock seagull]

I listened to Souness say he didn’t support any punishment cos it only hurts the fans and players.

Tell that to Bury, Luton, etc.

3 years CL ban and 20 points deduction next season.

There has to be consequences.


If there is no punishment, they will try something similar in the next 5 years.

But there’s always been one rule for the rich, one rule for the poor even if it’s only better lawyers.

I’m afraid I see nothing but a carefully worded scolding that will be hard to differentiate from a welcome back. And even that will probably be dismissed on appeal with whatever other sanctions are placed. Tonight feels like a won a battle not the war scenario. They’ll get their cake and eat it. Just you wait.

It’s going to be more than likely!

Let’s have friendly a REMF bet.

I think the EPL won’t punish the 6 at all.

 

[Badger]

Right off.

It's the only solution

It's an attack on the English game that deserves punishment, but not to the point where competitiveness is taken out of the 21-22 PL season. On that basis I'd plump for £10m fine for each club, 10pt deduction and a one season European ban.

 

[DavePage]

Their players should be loaned to the remaining 14 teams for two years, with the wages being paid by the owners.
On the basis they will have zero points the 13th and 14th teams get relegated plus one of the 6 each year (drawn at the end of the season)

 

[Tokyohands]

Play with their bootlaces tied together.

 

[blockhseagull]

I think the best punishment would be to take away their power until legislation is changed so this never happens again.

Take away their voting rights in the PL until such time there are rules in place that the owners of the clubs are never allowed to do anything like this again.

A fine is great in principle but will just be clawed back via the fans anyway.

Take away their voice and their ability to push and bully the PL

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Punishments don't work.

Personally I like the Burnley owner's idea of bringing in a regulator.

Auditing clubs to see they are sticking to FFP and investing in the club's infrastructure ove rfirst team wages would benefit the division.

 

[keaton]

I'm sure many on the board have real sympathy for the Big6 as they're just the latest victims of Cancel Culture

 

[albionfan37]

Banned from European competition for a couple of seasons any prize money from this season equally divided amongst the other 86 clubs

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

The most reasonable punishment is to change football governance so that these foreign billionaires lose the ability to try a similar stunt in the future. Take away the possibility of selling out the rest of the game for big bucks. The alternatives of fines and points deductions only give short term satisfaction.
