The Premier League is in a difficult position here. Kicking them out will be the last resort. These teams are a big part of the league and the television deals, games like Liverpool vs United are why they fetch so much money for them and even more so abroad. The people who purchased the rights would not be happy and it might be a breach of contract.

So to kick them out would be a huge economic cost to the league and the remaining teams. It'll be a massive hit to the value and international appeal of the Premier League.

It will be the last thing they do. Eventually, they might have no choice for now they'll instead hope it gets resolved another way with either a bargain being struck between UEFA and these teams or the Government intervening.

There are also rumours this morning that Chelsea and City are losing their nerve and might back out.
