The Premier League wants to take rigorous measures to prevent clubs from switching to a self-established European league in the future. The Times writes that it must be included in the amended regulations that rebel clubs can be immediately expelled from the competition in such a case. This means that there will be a severe sanction for violating the so-called Rule L9.
Rule L9 requires a club to require written approval from the Premier League board to participate in a new league. That has not happened in the case of the Super League. Currently, according to Sky Sport looked at a penalty for violating this rule. The sports channel reported that there must be a precedent, a kind of deterrent to prevent such situations in the future. This does not seem necessary if the rules of the Premier League are actually changed.
The fourteen remaining Premier League clubs are aware of the importance of exclusion and believe that there must be “some form of realism.” In addition, the presence of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the Premier League is seen as crucial in view of the commercial interests. A collaboration of the Premier League, the English Football Association (FA) and the English government has already resulted in at least a penalty for any future rebel clubs.
The Times reports that there will be a sanction in the regulations in case a Premier League club chooses in the future to split off in a new league in such a way. In such a case, a club must be able to be immediately expelled from the Premier League. “This removes the threat that an English club will join a Super League forever,” said a ‘source close to developments’ to the English newspaper.
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.
