There’s definitely something going on. Why would these clubs pretend the super league is still a thing if there wasn’t something in it for them to keep the pretence / technicality of ongoing membership going?

This "we can't deal with them again" nonsense has to stop. So, let's assume the 14 get the representatives of the 6 "replaced." Do they really think that replacing one of Abramovich's lackeys with another of Abramovich's lackeys is in some way going to make Abramovich more trustworthy? This is bizarre stuff.
I think there should be no relegations and no points deductions - but I'd hit them where it hurts: deny them access to the competition they were out to directly destroy: the UEFA Champions League. Therefore, five-year European football bans for each of the clubs. That will give the next tranche of clubs the chance to establish themselves as Euro regulars and, more importantly, make some money to narrow the gap with the snake clubs. If the value of the CL TV deal falls because of the bans, then a proportion of that shortfall should be levied against the nefarious six as compensation. Of course, UEFA have absolutely zero appetite for any justice. They just want to keep hold of the train set. Now that that has been achieved, the "football family" can come together. Incestuously.

Think the PL are putting in a new rule that states any team participating in a new SL type league will be kicked out of the league
Because they're ran by megalomaniacs and psychopaths, and critically there is nowhere near the same fan or potential legislative backlash over there.
Yep and if so, I'd be utterly delighted.

I'd also imagine that there would be a large exit payment that would be auto-triggered in that event. I wouldn't be surprised if they all had to front it by paying in installments over the next several seasons.

I hope so, but I won't hold my breath...
I don’t deny either of those things, but they are not reasons to keep this charade up. There’s something in it for them if they stick it out.

UEFA are coming out of this looking so impotent.

I think that by "we can't deal with them" people are referring to the owners. You can deal with people that "you can't deal with" by forcing then into binding commitments with real consequences that take away their options.
All a five-year Euro ban does is guarantee that the ESL will become a reality. Keep the Treaty of Versailles in mind here. Crushing reparations do nothing but push them into further nefarious action. We want to tie them irrevocably to the league while at the same time punishing them enough to get the message across that we mean business and that the past is merely prologue, but not enough to drive them out.
