As the 6 Premier League Clubs involved are breaking rule 1.9 (about joining unsanctioned competitions) the punishment is obvious; expulsion from this season's competition and continued expulsion thereafter.
On top of that, neither the FA nor the Football League will sanction this, so the logical conclussion is that these clubs will now ONLY play in their "Super" League.
No FA Cup entry.
No players from those teams allowed to compete in UEFA or FIFA sanctioned competitions.
Going forward, what happens thereafter will be interesting; as the 6 teams will be expelled, would that mean that next season the top 6 teams from the Championship come in to replace them with no relegation from the Premier League this season, or - for the integrity of the competition - will the top 6 replace thaose expelled, relegtion from the Premier League happens as usual, and then teams in 7th and 8th get automatic promotion, with teams 9th-12th into the play offs?
What a mess!
