Poll

Let's say that Liverpool get relegated for the ESL nonsense.. What do you think..

Absolutely right! We acted like total shithouses. Relegation is correct.
Wouldn't be happy. But we did wrong. Need to be punished and suck it up
Not really bothered. If that's what the authorities decide then fine
I'd be pretty annoyed
I'm be angry. I'd want us to leave the League whatever the consequences if this happened

How would we react?

I've seen quite a few articles from journalist obviously on crack demanding variously that we get relegated, that we get a 30 point deduction for the start of next season, that we get banned from Europe for 1 season or 2 or 5..

How would we feel about it?

Personally I've had enough of this fucking league. The double standards are shite. The Referees are shite. The hypocrisy is shite. The fucking media are absolute shite.

Fuck 'em I say. Football sold its soul in 1992 and it's a bit fucking late to be all high and mighty about it all.

The only thing that will happen will be the influence might be wained slightly. UEFA clearly don't care too much as they know how valuable the English clubs are.

I feel people are forgetting the point that nobody tried to leave the Premier League. I find it all a bit mad and massively blown out of proportion.

Again, I feel people are missing the point that the players and managers keep making in the media - how are teams going to play all these extra games that keep getting put in!? Something's gotta give somewhere.

It's bizarre.

The PL and the uninvited wanted the big two and the other four to stay because they know them leaving cuts the throat of the PL and the interest and the money would follow the six. Now they've stayed, they want them relegated anyway.

At the moment, I think we are just seeing the self righteous and the moral high grounders doing what they love doing; being outraged.

Anyway, relegating the top clubs simply strengthens the possibility of a proper, complete breakaway league coming to pass, ultimately leaving the uninvited without the clubs that bring the overwhelming majority of the money in.

These idiots really should be careful what they wish for.

I can see the six starting next season with a 10-point deduction. A substantial punishment that would make for an interesting season.

I could see the season being delayed due to court cases in that case, the clubs never left anything in the end and in the case of the PL had no intention of doing so either.

Funnily enough I was thinking that.

The Championship would be the most watched league in the world - 6 top teams and only 3 could get promoted.

As a sporting competition it would be unique for at least a season

Right, I'm all for relegation now. ;)

Viewing figures for the PL die a death while the Championship becomes the biggest league in the world for at least one season. 😂

Mind you, won't this mean the 14 will complain that they weren't invited?

Nah you crack on KH, there’s plenty of room for your criticism of the owners AND saying Mane and Firmino should be released on a free AND talk about how little money we’ll have to spend in the summer!!
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

As annoyed as I was at what our owners did, I've become too apathetic towards the world of professional football to give a fuck anymore

Even if we were punished with relegation for our role in the ESL, it genuinely wouldn't bother me.

I'd probably scan a few headlines, have a quick browse on the main forum to observe the meltdown, and go on about my day

I have the same amount of fucks to give about relegation as FIFA and UEFA have to give about illegally enslaved labourers dying from exhaustion in Qatar

A new competition could be much stricter with their financial controls rather than the likes of the CL or PL where they get tacked on later, you know that most of those involved outside of those two oil clubs would be happy to hamstring or evict those two.

From I remember reading they were only invited to join at the end and it was on a take it or leave it basis with the financial rules that had already been agreed by the others. That’s why they were the first ones to bail out.
