Just hope the other 14 PL teams stand up to them and vote them out.
Just make sure Sheff Utd & WBA still relegated at the end of season.

1. Kick them out - now. Give everyone who has played against them a 3-0 win
2. Change the law in the UK to make football clubs 50+1 as per Germany.
There is the current Premier League but there are at least 6 decent clubs who could fill the void...... Notts Forest, Norwich, Brentford, QPR, Sunderland, Birmingham, Coventry, Reading, Middleborough, Stoke, Watford, Blackburn, Derby.
English football would still be healthy and be even more competitive than it is now.
One side effect of action 1 is us winning the league.

I wouldn’t include half of those teams but others could fill the void

Governing bodies will be the deciding factor here, best not roll over. Need to remove them from the PL, Champions League and no place in the national side for any players at those clubs.

The government are exploring whether the 'UK 6' are breaking competition law in this country. And more importantly, the Home Office are threatening to withdraw policing at the stadiums of the clubs involved. Without policing, no game can take place.
And rules governing ownership as already stated is a last resort. But a very real one.
It's going to get messy.
A compromise is needed.
Walk away, Just relegate Spurs and the victims, fine them each a billion and we'll shake hands and move on.

The bottom three need to be relegated otherwise it goes completely against the argument. It's a numerical coincidence that 6 teams in the Championship are involved in the promotion calculations. Naaaaarch are up. Promote the next 5 as well. As it stands that's Watford, Swansea, Brentford, Bournemouth and Barnsley. And will probably remain that way. Do away with play-offs this season.
Filter it down through the pyramid.
Just do it.

Too late for fan ownership, at least for the top clubs. Assuming the valuation of West Ham for example is £500 million. I doubt there is a financial institution who would back a fan co operative with the £250 million plus needed to secure half the equity.

That makes more sense to me. Although I’d love Forest to be one of them just for my Dad

Just read a piece by a sporting law expert.
He says precedents have already been set in court cases involving skating a wrestling and the ESL would win any court case.
IF that's the case then any revolt has to be fan based. Whether or not that would make any difference to the greedy cunts who own the clubs I don't know. Supporters seem to be an inconvenience to them.
