The Super League (6 Viewers)

From a legal standpoint, do we have a chance of winning against Uefa?

Well a spanish court recently ruled in our favour, stating that neither UEFA nor domestic leagues could threaten us with sanctions. So there's a chance that upholds elsewhere too.

with our history we'd probably lose and Real/Barca win.

I'm not kidding when I say... I can actually see Juventus been the only team punish after this...

I think it would go to the European Super Court. I don't think any team broke any rules, they agreed to join a league that never actually got created and if they were found guilty then it would probably have to be the same punishment as the other clubs got. I''m not a lawyer so it's just a best guess.

NYT reporting that Juve, Real and Barcelona may face a two year ban from european competitions

There is no case, its all just talk. Even Fifa president said few days ago, that there shouldnt be any punishment, aware that any kind of punishment could invoke European commision to get involved. I dont think they would like that. Take a look at the several rulings, they stomp pretty hard at companies/organizations that go against free market and competition. At the end of the day Super League would have been another market, which would offer clubs economic benefits.

Exactly. The whole pyramid of the EU is based on a free market.

I think it would go to the European Super Court.

No way, would be a major conflict of interest.

Supreme Court tho

Wouldnt be surprised if they do something like that to build some pressure/cause some panic and then overturn it as a way to deter future attempts.

there must be a solid reason for Real, Barca and Juve to stay with the Super League and keep defying Uefa, they are not backing down and there must be a reason for this! We can only gues but I think we don't even know half the story. Even Infantino was attending the super league meetings, so he knew all about it and he can't stand this Uefa guy!

Yeah. Good lawyers. Also theyre smart enough to know that this is the kinda game where you have to go all in.

 

[PhRoZeN]

Not that it's the same but we all know how the bosman ruling went. The underdog won. We just gotta stay United with them Spanish fags but I doubt we will, them two will split off and fight their own case.

So Infantino was also involved?
Interesting

Other than the EPL teams reasons, why did Atletico and the 2 Milan clubs chicken out? I’m sure that they also have access to fancy lawyers.

Those 3 will literally go bankcrupt if they miss even 1 year (one more in case of Milan) without CL money.
Simply got too scared I guess, major cash-flow problems.

 

[campionesidd]

What ever happens, fuck the nine lily livered clubs who punked out at the first sign of trouble.

 

[PhRoZeN]

Not sure how accurate this is and of course should be taken in light context only as it disregards wages and other operating costs but since 2016-2017 Reals net spend has been 41.7m - 61 clubs have a higher net spend.

We're in position 14 at 218.3m.

Reals been penny pinching while winning CL's and out of the three clubs are obviously in a better state to deal with UEFA sanctions.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Isn't that mostly because the core of that winning team was signed before 16/17? Its an interesting stat but I think it says less about Real being pennypinchers and more about them making some great signings who have been the core of an excellent side for years and sticking by them

 

[Salvo]

The 3 clubs are waiting for punishment to start litigating, those ceferin threats and intimidating will be really useful.

Absolutely, wanting UEFA to fall into the trap

 

[vodka]

I expect UEFA will have to pay tens of millions to the 3 clubs in the end and not only allow to play in CL, but also allow to play in SL if they want.
