City also pulling out, according to the Telegraph.

Unraveling very quickly all of a sudden.

Laporta saying Barcelona will only join if their members vote for it. So that's effectively 4 of 12 pulling out in the last hour ... crazy stuff.

If we hold out here, we might make a final?

Woodward resigns at Man U, Agnelli resigns at Juve.

What a wild last hour or so. And surely more news to come this afternoon

That said, I'm really glad the French and Germans were not involved in this from the start. If only there was a word in German to express joy in a rival's misfortune.

All those clubs should at the least have huge points deduction, but preferably relegation as well. Send a message.

Hopefully now that the ESL is dying on its arse, UEFA make some changes to that new CL format. That looked #### too.

The Super League lasted about as long as FC Edmonton's 2020 title chances...

Ever heard of the term 'Too Big to Fail?'

You do not want to see an EPL with those Clubs playing in the Championship.

The sponsors and TV deals would lose their minds.

they won't be relegated, but like d_phaneuf said, at least ban them from CL/EL for a year. Deduct some points too, I don't care. Send a message.

I suspect its the players and managers that actually killed this, the prospect of wholesale walkouts and resignations seemed to loam large

The only reason UEFA made threats against the Super League teams was the loss of money. They have that money back it seems so it's all good to them. Nothing will happen, maybe some kind of token fine, but nothing more.
