    The six Premier League clubs involved in the European Super League (ESL) are set to be fined over £20m between them.
    Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal wanted to form a breakaway league, a plan that was widely criticised across football and by the UK government.

    BBC Sport understands Manchester United's owners the Glazer family will pay the fine rather than the club.

    Wow a whole £20m between the six clubs and no points deduction either !.
    Yet again justice has not been seen to be done when it involves the top clubs.
    They should have been fined £300m each and given all 6 clubs a minus 15 points deduction for the new season and see how they like that.

    One law for the rich and the one for the poor again. The rules will leave most clubs running afoul of the financial aspects of the sport struggling to stay in their current division and yet the ultra rich get away with treason. True justice is rarely fair or equally distributed.:angry:

    I would go further and kick them out of the league. They have already demonstrated that they are not loyal.

    Nice idea but not realistic I'm afraid.
    No, I wanted them to be heavily fined to an extent that they'll never do it again, and force all 6 of the greedy bastards to start the season 15 points behind the rest of the Premiership
    Despite all the outcry at the time, the punishment being suggested is way too weak

    15 points would be fair that is the difference between second place and 11th [ or tenth teams points … = 74 - 59 = 15pts ]
