From The Guardian
The Premier League rule that would give the “Other 14” the greatest chance to prevent the ESL breakaway would appear to be Rule L9. Here it is:
“Except with the prior written approval of the board, during the season a club shall not enter or play its senior men’s first team in any competition other than:
L.9.1 - The UEFA Champions League
L.9.2 - The UEFA Europa League
L.9.3 - The FA Cup
L.9.4 - The FA Community Shield
L.9.5 - The Football League Cup or
L.9.6 - Competitions sanctioned by the County Association of which it is a member.”
As you can see, “Lucrative European Super League” is not on that list.

They haven't kicked the Super 6 out then no?
Those 14 clubs are nothing without the top 6. It will be the dead of that league if they are expelled.
The broadcasting companies pay for the top 6 not the other average 14 clubs.

They clearly couldn’t give two shiiits about that then as they’ve unified to defeat this waaank idea for a project

You're talking balls, you forget that most of those games against the other 14 teams!
3 of those 14 clubs won't be in the Prem next season, and 3 or 4 thers would be voting against the opportunity to qualify for a competition that could earn them £350m.
Cant see it.
Those other 14 though, are dead if they are allowed to take part and still be in the prem, the competitive nature of the league disappears. Either way there's ramifications, I think the test of the football pyramid would like the idea of wiping the slate clean and everyone on a pretty even footing to become the next Manu United and win trophies
The quality will drop, revenues will fall, but it will survive, it's football, changes will need to be made but they are more than welcome after all this. Spending caps, 50+1 ownership etc etc
Let them go but do everything in the footballing world to prevent them from being a success, ban sale of players, insert non compete clauses in contracts that are run down so players have to wait 12/24 months before signing for a dirty dozen side
Fans will tune in to an exciting, less predictable and open playing field rather than being in a two tier system setup to appease the few and not the many
For having a different opinion?. Thats poor mate.

....
So what you took from the statement is that they wouldn’t vote against it??
The prem and the other 14 really have no leverage unfortunately.
If the big 6 were expelled for example all tv deals would be instantly cancelled and renegotiated at a fraction of the price. Given how much money these teams rely on broadcasting money their businesses would not be sustainable with such a reduced income.
I'm not really sure what they can do.

This is what I thought. Using some 2018 figures that were easily available, if TV income fell by 50% then Palace (as an example) would have revenues of £90 million and a wage bill of over £110 million.
How do they reconcile that?

This is happening whether the premier league likes it or not. These clubs would happily leave their domestic leagues
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well they wouldn't. The statement from them quite clearly said they want to stay in their domestic leagues.
