If we have as is being reported, been backed into a corner on this, could we legitimately put out weaker teams (EDs with some first team) and still just focus on the main stream comps (Prem, FA cup etc etc)?

That would be funny. Play our EDS in the Super League because we are a founding member and can’t be booted. Take the money anyway lol.
 
Only clubs with money, and those with American owners specifically have been invited to this, so it is obvious likes of Ajax, Porto, and others miss out. They aren't taking a stand, they simply aren't considered. German and French clubs have UEFA's backing all the way with their top club officials on UEFA's decision-making board. They have no urge to join ESL, but if it carries on and the plan comes to fruition, they will ultimately join.
 
We played a weakened team vs. Leeds for the Champions League last week. How is that different?

They will still compete for the League title.
It's different because it only happens now when European spots are secure and comfy leads are built to enable clubs to do it. Once the big six are guaranteed their spot next year what reason do they have to put out a full strength side beyond Christmas when they're already 10-20 points behind the league leaders?

The classic end of season games you get where clubs with nothing at stake don't seem to give a shit for the last 2/3 games will be happening every single week, its only teams within a dozen points of the top and bottom that will put any focus inot the league.
