"Premier League rules contain a commitment amongst clubs to remain within the football pyramid and forbid any clubs from entering competitions beyond those listed in rule L9, without Premier League board permission."

And they won't get permission from the FPL, so if they go ahead and do it anyway the choices are let them crack on, and create even more (and permanent) of a wealth divide between those 6 and the rest of the Premier League, or kick them out and completely devalue the competition (and anyone who pretends that a league where playing West Ham and Leicester are the big games isn't devalued is kidding themselves)

Personally I hope they kick them out and say that any players playing for a team in the ESL can't play in any international competitions. It's be hilarious if there was an exodus of the best players from the so called big 12 to the teams that they left behind.
