That's not to say there won't be mutiny among the clubs. There will at some point and i reckon it will be some time after next season.. Half the teams under embargo/charged/points deducted, the other half rolling in PL wonga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think it will happen in next 5-10 years. Said it in a few other threads, there are teams currently not in the Premier League that have huge followings abroad. These clubs will be welcomed with open arms to the PL to expand its viewing ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Instead of creating a new league they need to make the Championship fair. These parachute payments need a serious change. They should be there to protect relegated clubs, not fund them in their quest to get back to the big time. The payments should only cover wages for players above a certain amount. BUT, clubs should be actively trying to sell said players to get them off the wage budget, any offer that at least matches what you paid you should be forced to accept. You could say that is harsh, as you may be forced to sell players below their value, but that's the risk you take. If you're not willing to do so, you don't get parachute payments. Simple. Fed up of these relegated clubs spending millions and millions whilst everyone else gets punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Some interesting Tweets from Andy Holt who is the Accrington Stanley chairman. Seems to be very much behind the Championship clubs with respect to how the EFL are dealing with matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its staggering, you could sit a chimp in front of a word processor for long enough and it would get the same hit rate as Nixon, a total fraud.

Musn't Grumble Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Whilst the Championship will never get close in popularity and marketing opportunities to the three biggest leagues in the world (La Liga, Premier League and the Bundesliga), on some criteria it's almost as good as, if not better than, Serie A, Ligue 1, Eredivisie and MLS. On a similar basis, the Championship is clearly better than the top leagues in Greece, Ukraine, Portugal and probably even the South American leagues in terms of worldwide and domestic appeal. There are games in several top European leagues that barely attract a couple of thousand spectators whilst in England, the fifth tier get bigger attendances outside the top half dozen clubs in Greece, for instance. Eight of the top sixteen clubs in the Greek "Super League" don't even average 2,500 per home game. Strip out Benfica and Porto from the Primeira Liga and you get pretty much a like for like equivalent of League One in England. The EFL Championship is a lot bigger than many people imagine. As a second tier, despite its many faults, it's probably still the biggest and best in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 On 20/01/2020 at 15:37, sheffsteel said: The real problem is that PL and the EFL are 2 separate organisations that treat each other like competitors. Money is the driver behind everything. They have no interest in the bigger picture unless they have no choice. It's even worse than this. There's no solidarity in the EFL itself because clubs are trying to climb over each other to get out. You wont get a well run organisation when no one really wants to stay part of it.

England has over 5× the population of Greece and Portugal. So 5× more divisions of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
