Boy, this will end up in court.
I wonder if the ban is suspended once the clubs will challenge the verdict.

1. UEFA forcing other clubs to sign those new obligations means they had nothing before such docs were signed. I.e. they have nothing against JJ / RM / Barca.
2. Even after those 9 pussyclubs signed new docs, it still doesn't mean much. These docs provisions still can be ruled void and non-enforceable even against these signees.
This is pretty interesting. UEFA made moves that were supposed to make them look strong but instead exposed their weakness.

Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona sent a joint letter to the clubs that pulled out of the Super League, with Milan the last to back away, warning them of ‘a material breach’ of the agreement.
There were 12 original founding clubs who signed up to the project, but nine – Inter, Milan, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal – pulled out and signed a formal commitment with UEFA yesterday.
The three remaining sides released a joint statement today, but Marca and the New York Times insist there was another letter sent out to the rebel clubs on May 6.
The reports also state that Milan were the last to back out of the project, leaving only Juve, Barca and Real Madrid.
This letter urged the clubs to “reconsider” and warned of serious legal consequences should they sign back with UEFA, as this represented a ‘material breach’ of the founders’ agreement.
While the trio seem intent on continuing their legal battle, the rebellion of nine out of 12 clubs could make a huge difference.
It’s reported the original founding document stated that the entire project would be dissolved if 70 per cent of those clubs left.
We're fucked

Sounds like a BS tbh. Why would anyone joining the venture agreed to include such a clause? Imagine if this happens not with 70% of clubs leaving simultaneously and quickly, but slowly, over the years, say, spread over 20 years, and each year some club get their own reasons to drop while some other new big club join. Eventually, the ESL might consist of the same number of top teams but with different names, and after the last of 70% of founding clubs leave the entire system would collapse for no reason.
Afaik, Uefa isn't preventing us from starting a league.
Anyhow, it amazes me to read how so many people think "they" can't punish us. Or how we'll win in court. That' just being very naive.
I still remember the last time "they" couldn't punish us.

It's not about taking a 'stand' or feeling 'proud'. It's a general concern on what could happen. There's nothing to feel proud about here. The super league concept got quashed as soon as the English teams backed out. It shouldn't come as a surprise if we end up facing sanctions. Agnelli and Perez are two deluded businessmen who are fighting a powerful political organization.
The last thing this club needs is more negative attention but continue feeling proud I guess.

You give too much credit to people at the top of any organization. They can be brilliant at some things and completely deluded at everything else. A prime example is Elon Musk - brilliant at finding great people to work for him, completely deluded about Covid and outright fraud with crypto and FSD (Full Self Delusional Driving). And then you have complete fraudsters with rich fathers -Donald Trump.
