Why should the delusioned 6 have two bites of the cherry. No relegation from the super league and can then play their reserves in the Premier League. This should not be tolerated.
 
I`m not mystic meg but I forsee the whole thing collapsing, never getting off the ground but behind the scenes, a deal being struck with the various leagues / uefa / the so called big 6 whereby things stay as they are but they get an even bigger slice of the domestic money pie
2/3rds of the clubs in the league would need to vote in favour of that. Won’t happen
 
Overseas rights on total are, I think, about 40% of the current deal. Both domestic and overseas rights will probably fall in value, but they'll still be there. For Sky in particular, the PL will be essential to filling weekend schedules, so the deal could be bigger than you might think. Clubs will have a season or so to plan for this, and, if the big 6 were removed, pressure on fees and wages could be reduced, allowing them to cut costs but still remain competitive. The people who will be most affected are the players, who will be getting far lower offers than before, which I couldn't give a shit about. We could actually get a much more competitive PL.
i agree with all of this exceot i think TV and sponsrship falls a lot more than you expect...TV rights is a revenue stream that oeaked a while ago and is in gradual structural decline...but if the super keague happens..then the delcine will be sharper..
but i think even if it doesnt happen..owners will be less willing to fund a loss making club..for the plutocrats..the super league has been there exit plan for many years..no exit plan means less attractive asset.
like you, i agree, this wouldnt nescesaarily be a bad thing for fans of the game
 
Absolutely spot on mate, I have been pissing myself laughing at some of the triggered hot headed “chuck them all out” responses on here, the finances of the Premier League would crash and burn without the so called big six and that would cause absolute financial chaos to the remaining clubs in the League.

I can assure anyone that the vast majority of Premier League chairman wouldn’t even dream of upsetting the apple cart despite any bravado talk up until now, they would shit themselves if they had to run their clubs on £60m/80m or so per season knowing that they would still have to honour their players big money multi year contracts.
Piss off and lets see who disappears first.
 
All the owners have long since passed the Fit and Proper Person Test.
As visionaries, they should be listened to and fairly negotiated with. The idea of a Global football pyramid with teams from all around the world in the capstone league (as this is where it should be heading once people accept the European league), is a very interesting concept that will enhance global engagement as well as equality and inclusion.
 
I've voted Yes absofcknlutely...let then go and never let them come back if that's what they want, made ya bed lie in it.
Want to come back ? Isthmian league there ya go.
Now for a salary cap each club can only spend a certain amount, players wages capped... get football back to where it once was, fck the super rich.
Where it once was one?

We've just had two transfer windows absolutely scuttled by a salary cap. Salary caps aren't the answer.

Sky need the PL/EFL as much as they need Sky. It's not in their interests for the deal to be too small for clubs to survive.
 
You do realise you're doing exactly what the ESL owners want you to? You're hitting out at the wrong target.

I don't really care what you think of EFC but I know my Club is rooted in our community, often accused of being a charity with a football team attached. The point is that six teams are threatening the entire integrity of the football pyramid by diluting competition. It'll hurt EFC, it'll hurt TRFC, it'll hurt SAFC. Now is the time to stand together, including the supprters of the six,something football supporters in this country fail to do far too often.

Hate us, presume what we'd decide if we were invited, I couldn't give a toss. But if you care about football get the right target in your sights.
community club? you are funded by one of the top two or three russian mafia bosses on planet earth! you sold yoursleves to him.,and are his plaything..
 
I worry that the 6 clubs in this country know that the Premier League either can't or won't kick them out and that's why they are prepared to risk this dramatic move.

If 14 votes are needed to change the premier league, maybe all the six have to do is entice one more club to either join them or abstain (of course this might be oversimplified bollocks).
 
I keep saying it mate. They don’t think the same way we do. They don’t care about the supporters that have coughed up for generations to help make the game the global spectacle it’s become. In fact I’d go as far as to say we are looked upon with disdain and most likely an impediment to their aims. Certainly now that we’ve had the audacity to get up on our back legs and express our opposition. They aren’t like us. They know nothing about us or how we care about the game and they don’t want to know. All they care about is money. Nothing more nothing less. It’s been driven into them since they were kids. We have footy they have the deal.That is their love and passion.

i'd be amazed if the blokes at the top even knew the rules of football, what colours the teams play in or could name any players. nor will they give a shit. they'll head up meetings where their analysts, financial advisors and legal teams are present, and they'll be shown using graphs and charts how much money they make now, and how much money they could make in the future if they do x, y and z, and the implications of each. they'll make decisions based purely on business.

i doubt any of them were aware that liverpool were playing leeds last night never mind that there was a protest outside of the ground. they won't even know that everton and others clubs have released statements. they might be interested in what Boris Johnson and the likes have to say, but i imagine they are easily bought.

i just think (hope) they have got their research and projections massively wrong. 2 or 3 seasons of this super league and asian, african and american market interest will plummet. games will be like friendlies.
