The 'big six' find £20million between them for bringing the game into total disrepute and showing their absolute contempt for the rest of the football pyramid. In contrast to a small club that showed ambition to try and establish themselves as cannon fodder in the top league gets the same fine after some of it was commuted if the owners converted the debts to equity. £3.33million per club is absolutely nothing.
Did anybody really expect anything different?For all the brave talk beforehand about points deductions or throwing them out of the league.it was never going to happen. The big 6 can do exactly what they want to do as they own the ball in the first place.We ought to bow down to them for even allowing us to play in their league. UEFA are the same,because the big clubs are too valuable to them to really punish the clubs properly. The tail has been wagging the dog ever since the introduction of the premier league and champions league.And the tail is getting bigger and slowly strangling the dog now.It has to be the time to cut the tail off and see if it can survive on its own.The dog will survive without the tail,but not the other way round.
It will only get worse in the future as the big clubs will get even more powerful at the expense of the rest.
A European ban and a £20 million fine would be far more sufficient but we all know UEFA are just as bad, the only reason they're pissed is because they didn't think of it first.
My worry was that the existing rules did not have specific penalties written in (which makes them worthless), and that the FA would not move quickly to introduce specific penalties to stop repeat offences - does anyone know if they have?

Agree completely on the European ban - two years minimum.
The money angle simply is irrelevant then. They will lose out on prize money and may not attract players for those years.
But UEFA believe they need them in order to not "devalue" their competition.
As always shambolic from the authorities who are running scared of these big boys.

Last I saw (I think) was something along the lines of updating the rules to say "Don't anyone ever think of doing such a thing ever again. Or we will punish you. Harshly."
You know, the sort of thing that obviously deters anyone thinking about ever doing such a thing again.
How will they be able to pay 3.66 M each thats nearly 3 months wages for one of their players what happened to the ability to pay when punishing clubs for breaking the rules. QPR for extracting the urine over FPP got double what these 6 clubs get between them. So buying your way into the top table is wrong but to end the Football Pyramid and how football works in this country is a bit of an indiscretion League needs to hang its head in shame still it has it's 30 pieces of silver
It's also barely being reported. You have to scroll down quite a way on the BBC sports page and it's about 6th on the sky sports page, bearing in mind they'll report anything. It's as if everyone just wants it to go away
This is just the kind of typical WUM decision the powers that be make (in football or anything else you can think of), just to get everyone's knickers in twist.
