Bring the other 3 back is the only way.
They will need to fulfil the fixtures for the likes of BT

It's the fairest way to solve that particular problem without the risk of legal expense.

The force majeure provisions of the contract are probably applicable, if UEFA decides that such a move is sufficiently unacceptable to the integrity of the competition that they're willing to have it out in court, or make another concession deemed to be of equal value by the broadcasters.

You must be younger than 25 if you don't know who Alexi Lalas is.

I would take away from Lalas' position that Fox is in for the broadcasting contract. Even he is smart enough not to otherwise stake out a public position opposite Figo.
 
They'll just pay off the legal teams to get their way.

These the same legal teams that couldn't even nail Man City for breaking financial rules despite them having De Bruyne down as earning £5.50 a week and Pep on a Chomp and a packet of bacon fries.

Except, apart from create a furore, they haven't done enough right now to justify expulsion, I don't think. But you can immediately dock them 30-40 points and put them on warning of expulsion next season if their project proceeds. I would also make them complete their league fixture commitments.

If they back down, a couple of them may be relegated anyway. No mercy! And I think they should be kicked out of the Cups. UEFA are looking to expel them, anyway. You can rewind and reinstate their last opponents to compete and conclude the Cups, which is easier than league football to work out.
Everton v Leicester FA Cup final will do me.

They signed contracts and UEFA is a multi billion dollar industry so they will have some of the best lawyers too, nobody can see how it will play out. Not good for anyone if it drags out. Ban them from everything and let them bring the case to court.
