After all the posturing and moral grandstanding, the Premier League’s fines for the six clubs involved in the Super League fiasco earlier this year amount to little more than spare change. In fact, they’re technically not even fines, but rather a “collective contribution” of £22m to go towards “the good of the game” (i.e. grassroots, fans support, community involvement). Good job choosing a number not divisible by six!
And of course everyone’s very sorry and blah blah blah. (Well, except Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus, who are continuing their fight against UEFA, but that’s another story.)
