UEFA wants to ban European Super League clubs, but they have reached an agreement with Tottenham

By Bruce Grove -

UEFA is looking at banning teams who are insistent on their participation in European Super League, but they have reached an agreement over a lenient sanction for Tottenham and other teams who have backed out.

Spurs are one of six Premier League teams who joined the effort that targeted breaking away from UEFA to form the new European competition.

A backlash from fans made sure the proposal didn’t work and it has now been suspended.

However, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and AC Milan are yet to back away from it formally.

ESPN reports that UEFA has been speaking with the 12 teams involved and Spurs and the teams who have publicly abandoned the competition have agreed with the European body over a lenient punishment.

Those who remain stubborn risk bigger punishments and they could be banned from the Champions League for two seasons if they continue to insist on having the breakaway competition.

The last thing that Tottenham needs now is more trouble with UEFA and the club’s leadership will be relieved to learn about the recent development.

They are working hard to finish this season inside the Premier League’s top four and that will take teams above them dropping points before it can happen.

But they could console themselves with a return to Europa League football because the absence of European football would be disastrous.

The danger is….. us becoming the pub team (if we’re not already there).

Playing Pub teams allows us to see a good 4-0 scoreline occasionally too!

Such nonsense. Top football clubs playing against eachother already exists. It’s called the Champion’s League. You get into that competition by earning it. We didn’t earn that right last season, and most probably won’t this season, and rightly so.
And those ‘pub teams’ you’re talking about, why play them? Because that’s what is the very core of this sport is. Those clubs nurture the stars of the future, those lowly clubs benefit from the cash injection from playing top clubs in the cups, and those clubs have fans who deserve to watch their teams play host to top clubs as much as any other fan.

The wealth deferential between the premiere league and lower leagues is already grossly unfair. Any contrived Super league just further damages the clubs lower down the pyramid.

i don’t believe the desire to see top football clubs playing each other is misplaced -most fans have seen some famous nights at the lane in the recent past playing the European elite-but peppered between are those fish and chip nights with lowly teams and my question is why- what does it bring to the game.to have all competitions water down by expanding them to be all inclusive of pub teams, to which fans don’t turn up or tune in. they wait until the latter stages. simply its boring. what comes to mind is Kerry Packer and the changes that came about after the cricket roustabout.. The E.S.L.we agree was wrong in the format proposed, but is the idea wrong.europen football needs a vision, not greed and not punishment its lthe school prefect syndome,. better they all sit down and discuss the way foward. it isnt flying three thousand miles east to some unknown place and calling it European footballl.

I was never taken in by the ‘he’s a winner’ narrative. That was a while ago. Now, if he wins Serie A next year, I may have to apologise!

If they ban all 12 for say 10 seasons, what would happen to the UCL TV money. Meanwhile the 12 could play mid week friendlies….

No mention of the settlement terms then.I suspect it will be a significant sum otherwise the other clubs not involved will not feel justice is done.

So more money disappearing out of the club coffers,presumably meaning even less money for investment in the team,if our owner was ever minded to consider such a thing.

I was half convinced we would win either an FA Cup or Europa or maybe even both under Jose.
What an absolute sh*t season.
