Not if the ESL players are prevented from playing in their national leagues or internationally...

They will. They’ll follow the money. ESL clubs will be able to pay ridiculous amounts of wages.
Some will. But on that basis why haven't they all moved to China already?

Can Uefa do this when it's Fifa that do the international stuff ?

Arteta won’t say **** either. This is Kroenke’s pet project, he knows he’d be out on his ear if he pipes up.The only one I expect to speak out is Klopp, the rest are charlatans. Oli won't stand with his "mates", he knows he can't afford to lose the job, he's been living off a couple goals and a sub appearance for his whole career.
I've nothing against players or managers who don't speak out. Realistically they can't do so without walking away from their jobs and their clubs have put them in an awful position. I'd have huge respect for anyone who does speak out or walk, but I don't think it's fair to criticise those that don't.
Would be nice if 0-0 draws awarded no points to either team, and only score-draws awarded any points (or wins, obviously).
Maybe even -1 point to each team for a nil-nil.. Nobody wants to see a "defensive masterclass" with absolutely dire creativity or attacking play. Well, maybe some purists do, but for every "good" 0-0 there are 10 really awful games, where teams are just afraid to do anything. -1 points for a 0-0 seems fair to me!

Let's be honest, it wouldn't surprise anyone if there's a competent football manager working as a supermarket shelf stacker and he's just swapped roles with Arteta for a new series of Faking It.
If Arteta stands against it and is sacked, no one is going to bat an eyelid
Oh well, at least I tried.
Ill just go to Huddersfield town games tbh. I imagine a season ticket is as much as my members ticket and a couple of games lmao
Isn't the Euros UEFA? I genuinely don't know
Managers are stuck in a hard place now, end of a day it is there job, if they speak out there going against there employer.
Of course as public we would respect them coming out and saying its a **** decision which I think every fan and pundit agrees on.

Ok, but why are you saying that?
By representatives of the clubs resigning from their positions from the boards that are responsible for making the decision, isn't it more likely to go against the clubs now?
UEFA run the Euros, FIFA the World Cup. They can ban them, in the same way they could ban Man City from competing in the CL - it would be taken to CAS and they'd ultimate rule on whether the ban was legal.
Some journalists have already reported that the Super League clubs have already issued FIFA & UEFA with legal papers premeditating a future legal dispute. If these clubs really do push ahead with these plans then one thing is certain, sports lawyers are going to make a fortune.

If the players in these teams are barred from playing for their country, and also possible expulsion from their domestic leagues. As a player, even if you are paid well, 10x or 100x, it's going to get boring fast, 1 little ESL is all you play, the same teams year in year out. There wouldn't be anything to play for, it will be no different than players going to China at the end of their career.

Its wenger's pet project actually?
Why do you keep saying this, Wenger was very anti financial doping and was against the super league when it was first mooted years ago.
