Premier League clubs have been divided over which sanctions should be imposed on the Big Six after participating in the Super League, reports Sky Sports Wednesday. Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have violated the so-called Rule L9 with their participation in the European top competition. This rule requires a club to require written approval from the Premier League Board to participate in a new league. However, that did not happen.

A senior club official has joined Sky Sports hint that options are being explored to penalize the above clubs for their planned participation in the Super League, as Premier League rules have been clearly violated. In addition, there must be a precedent, a kind of deterrent, to avoid such situations in the future. One of the managers of the other fourteen Premier League clubs has said that he does not feel like a penalty in the form of a fine or a point deduction, because in that case the supporters, managers and the players ‘will harm the wrong people’. .

Instead, the rules need to be tightened up for the future. The clubs are aware of the interests of possible exclusion and believe that there must be ‘some form of realism’. In addition, the presence of City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal in the Premier League is considered crucial in view of the commercial interests. Presumably, a meeting will be convened by the fourteen clubs on Wednesday to discuss possible sanctions.

On Tuesday evening, all six English clubs withdrew from the plans for a Super League. Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool followed the example of City, which published a statement earlier in the evening. Arsenal apologized in response and Liverpool owner John W. Henry also went through the dust. The American put his hand in his own bosom and apologized to Jürgen Klopp and the group of players, among other things.
