3.5 millions fine each. pathetic.

ESL Fine should have been at least 10-20 mil each if they bottled the points deduction, with an agreement to play 3-5 local clubs in friendlies and donate the gate.

No argument to any of that save for the highlighted. There should never have been a points deduction as it had F all to do with the clubs and EVERYTHING to do with the outright greed of multi-billionaire owners.

The fine to come out of the owners own pockets should have been WAY heftier than that insulting pittance no question. But in NO way, shape or form should the clubs have been hit.
 
I'd have been fine with it, Clubs are punished with dedutions for **** owner decisions up and down the pyramid. They walked away from this with barely a ticking off.
 
I'd have been fuming personally if the clubs were hit. All the owners went completely behind most everyone at their respective clubs back in a shamefully clandestine power play by the super-rich.

It would have been just as disgraceful to me as the attempted breakaway to then punish players/ managers/ coaches/ staff/ fans who knew F all about the ESL and almost to a man rebelled against it.

The only winners here, the pittance of a fine for the owners aside, are UEFA who have free reign to push on with their equally F up CL expansion which is effectively a closed shop ESL to all and intents and purposes. They must think all their Christmas's have come at once in Nyon.

As they've all agreed to support rule changes that would see any similar future actions hit them with a 30-point deduction and a £25 million fine, I don't think they'll be trying it again any time soon.

Uefa rejects Spanish court order to drop Super League punishments

Uefa has rejected the demands of a Madrid court to revoke its action against the 12 founding members of the European Super League and is confident of seeing off the legal challenge at the European Court of Justice.
The judge in Madrid made an order on Friday stating that Uefa must publish on its website that it will drop all financial and sporting penalties. He also ordered Uefa to tell the Premier League and Italy’s FA to drop all action taken against the English and Italian clubs involved.
A source close to the European governing body has told The Times there is no intention of carrying out the order and that its actions will be fully justified by the European court.
Uefa is also unconcerned about reports that the ESL is now planning to revamp the breakaway competition so that it is not a closed tournament.
“The Super League idea is dead,” said another source. “The fans killed it and there is not going to be a resurrection.”
In May, nine of the 12 ESL founder clubs, including England’s ‘Big Six’, agreed a deal with Uefa under which they agreed to contribute 15 million euro (£13 million) to youth and grassroots football, and to forfeit 5 per cent of Uefa competition revenue for one season.
The Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ agreed last month to make a combined goodwill payment of just over £22 million to support grassroots and community projects, and that if any one of those clubs attempted such a move again they would be docked 30 points and fined £25 million.
Both Uefa and the Premier League agreed those settlements with the rebel clubs rather than imposed sanctions.
The Italian FA had said they would ban Italian sides who participate in any future Super League from competing in the country’s top division, Serie A.
Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga and a Uefa executive committee member, dismissed the Madrid judge’s decision as “a joke” despite Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus insisting they will push ahead with plans for an ESL.
“It’s the same judge as always, so he was always going to rule in a similar fashion,” said Tebas. “There’s a lot of jokes going on in that court.”
The Madrid court statement warns any breach of its injunction could lead to fines or criminal charges, however its jurisdiction over Uefa is also in doubt given that it is based in Switzerland which is not part of the European Union.
Last month the ECJ rejected a request from the ESL for an expedited decision in the case, a development which appeared to significantly derail the Super League project.
