Love the poll on the article on what sort of punishment all 6 clubs should suffer. There isn't an option for 'No Punishment' so they can now claim that 100% of all fans who voted want the 6 punished.

Isn’t this a pay wall? and if so am I the only person on BM that hasn’t subscribed to the Telegraph- just when I’d stopped feeling ashamed as well

We were promoted so we were happy. :)

Not sure you fully understand the context of ESL.

The context is fans anger at what the money-grabbing ESL stands for & is trying to achieve, when the money-grabbing PL did the same thing by essentially braking away from the Football League 30 years ago. I don't recall such a massive outcry???? Why?

The premier league was formed when 5 clubs threatened to break away and form their owm mini league.

Unlike now where most clubs were less powerfull and so the rest of the 1st division capitulated and agreed to their demands as the FA backed them up too

We fans then had pther shit to deal with tbf and I remember many calling the prem a load of shit at the time amd that is was a pathetic power grab.

I recall much the same, but we still went along with the PL power grab. The ESL is essentially trying to do the same, so I don't get why we were so much more accepting of the breakaway PL, but everyone's up in arms at the breakaway ESL?

The ESL said 5 teams per season would be added to the 15 perennials. That's more than the 3 promoted/relegated teams the PL currently has, so my point stands.... I don't get why fans had no issue with the money grabbing PL, but have an issue with the money grabbing ESL?

Like you, I couldn't give a fuck about any other team bar City, so if City feel to explore the opportunity as they did with the PL, what's the problem?

Because they explored it and then signed up for it is what annoys me

They had the chance and jumped in with this lot

5 would have been invited to the ESL from how many teams

The PL is teams promoted on merit

How could the ESL decide who merits a place out of all the teams in Europe

At least in the PL we know how you need to get into it and how to stay in it

Changed my vote to no.

Noticed around 15 votes have changed...

Presumably accidental button presses.
