The next TV contracts should force the clubs into a contract which does not allow them to create something else without mega penalties. Only cash means anything to them.I think thier fan base will think they have won, and clubs are being praised for a turn around.
Reality is, this was a bargaining tool for more cash which hasnt worked.
People are talking about financial or points deduction but I'm not sure if exploring or even signing up to another business plan can be penalised. Its wrong morally but football is a business and which other businesses wouldn't follow the path the 'big six' have?
