If anything, I'd still like to see the clearest ringleaders of the esl made an example of. Lengthy bans from european competition for Liverpool/United/Real/Barca/Juve (and whoever else is deemed to be pushing for it the most), and domestic punishments to boot, all of which can only be prevented by ownership deciding to sell up immediately. Like others are saying, the same group of shitbag clubs are just gonna try this again in a couple years time and if you want the problem to actually go away you need to loving address it rather than just tolerate it. Institutions and owners need to be made examples of.

A dream scenario would be a thorough dismantling and reorganizing of FIFA and UEFA, along with a forced shift towards a 50+1& fan ownership model on a worldwide level. The super league clubs basically hid behind the justification of "actually we're SAVING football from these tyrannical governing bodies", which is obviously bullshit yet the position exists and can be exploited because of how loving abhorrent UEFA and FIFA currently are. We'll never see it but the only way to even start addressing the problem of how money flows through football is to mandate a full 50+1% rule for every club across the world which wishes to take part in UEFA/FIFA competitions, and much more thorough regulating and blacklisting of parasitic owners who want to use clubs as cash flows/vanity projects. No more loving oligarchs or hedge fund managers or nation states. No more FSG or City Group. Get them all loving out or the problem will never go away.

edit: it would be cool if people realised that actually billionaires have been doing this to literally every public service and good we have had access to for the last 40+ years. Football is loving infinitesimal compared to having homes/healthcare/transport/utilities taken from and sold back to us at obscene mark-ups, lol. I hope a lot more socialists are created as a result of EFL sleaze!

Not the video you're looking for but one of my favourite small digs at Spurs (and more so City, in this instance) is this read out of the 2019 CL quarter final draw:

One of these ties is not like the others.
