But they are not rich, the owners may be but they are built upon Debt.So what exactly are the fans going to use to buy control of their clubs back, chocolate coated buttons, some clubs are worth billions.

Tottenham named Premier League's most valuable football club
Tottenham have been named the most valuable football club in the Premier League, according to an in-depth university study.www.dailymail.co.uk
Great quote!As the writer from the NY Times put it:
“It’s not sport if there’s no relationship between effort and reward. It’s not sport if success is guaranteed. It’s not sport if you can’t lose. It’s content.”
2/3rds of the clubs in the league would need to vote in favour of that. Won’t happenI`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
They do not want to have their cake and eat it. They want the bakery.
What word means more arrogant than arrogant?
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..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.
Piss off and lets see who disappears first.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.
Strongly disapproves. That’s bound to scare the shit out themAnd the European super duper league goes "oh no"
Where it once was one?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.
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
or caprice
Does anyone know if Sharon Davies still thinks it’s a bad idea, 20+ years later?
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..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.
i dont think they will, they will get hammered by the fans, sport, govt, its either go hard or leave them to it.The PL will give them some token fine or something and they'll crack on
I did. Its mental mateI mean you have to laugh.
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.
