Greed, greed, greed. F*ck you, I got mine. Where's our slice of the cash. All this during an unprecedented global pandemic which is taking lives. yes its showing the very bad and very good in life at the minute , looting happening rampantly in shops ,scam artists praying on folks , then we have the good where people are looking out for 1 and other . but football is about money and greed . I hope lot of them lose there juicy wages . unless the greedy b*stards agree to cut wages and spread the money down there wont be a football league season next season as there wont be that many clubs still operating . there are too many with there hands in the pie to even agree a slight compromise.

Lomas613 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 On 17/03/2020 at 19:27, @owlstalk said: The Championship top six are preparing to take legal action should the Premier League declare the season ‘null and void’ according to Football Insider. Premier League chiefs are concerned regarding a £170million lawsuit which West Brom and Leeds will push for should the scenario happen. The Championship sides would face huge financial turmoil which could cost them around £200million should the season be void and this is a major consideration as ruling bodies prepare to meet this week. The top six in the division will miss out on promotion and in turn face financial implications for which they could seek to gain financial compensation. Leeds and West Brom are well clear at the top of the Championship with nine matches remaining and could make legal moves against the Premier League as well as Fulham and other sides involved in the promotion race. That possibility will be discussed later this week at an emergency meeting of the Premier League on Thursday. Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear made clear yesterday that it is his club’s preference for the Championship programme to be completed. “From our perspective, we think it is vital that it is completed,” Kinnear told Sky Sports News. “I think there is a growing sense across the football family that that is the right thing to do.” If only we was still in top six not only would we get a chunk of cash wed also maybe be given a relax on the EFL charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Maple Staple Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think they should complete this season at the earliest possible opportunity and then have a "half season" for the next one where everyone plays each other once. That way, everyone knows what the rules are at the start of the season rather than changing/moving the goal posts during a season. Creates a level playing field of expectations.

pazowl55 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 If it does come down to the fact that the leagues are being voided after everyone in power in football has said this is not what would happen. Then that goes to tell you what state the country would be in at that time as we are talking end of the year stuff here. Any decision that is made would be for the good of Football and the country at that time and anybody that takes legal action on the back of six or seven months of this should be ashamed of themselves regardless of how injust it may feel. And if clubs did this after the premier league made that decision. Then I would say fine we welcome your legal action. But guess who makes the rules and is banning you from ever playing Premier League football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PL don't relegate because season is void then no room to move up. The PL could even think to themselves you know what, ok we will pay you off and by the way from now on no promotion or relegation as we have enough clubs and TV money moving forward. 1st paragraph says it all. Could not agree more. Anyone who is ill or has a family member ill no matter who they support have far greater worries. THESE clubs should be Instead of putting money into lawyers pockets could be helping the local community and oap and vulnerable people instead.

the third man Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Why would it be Leeds and west Brom, other teams could get promoted as well, so presumably they would have to pay those teams off as well. So when football restarts not only the teams who have the failure payments but those teams that have no finished in the top two in the league would have an advantage as well As there are far more clubs that wont gain from this I cant see it getting voted through by the clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way we have decided to increase the league to 22 clubs and will invite 3 clubs to come up. Would be difficult to sue them on any grounds, they could then draw 3 names out of a hat to see who comes up...problem sorted.. Other solution is start PL2 and pick 18 or 20 teams from Champ and league 1. My opinion is that they should just void this season and start again when this is sorted. Yes some will be unhappy, but FFS this is potentially the biggest disaster since WW2...I know I am repeating myself but some organisations, clubs,people should hang their heads in shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should PL subsidise the EFL? Think if did go to 22, PL clubs would pull out of the league cup due to extra games. Think their will be a bounce when football restarts attendance wise. Don't doubt some clubs will have to go pt or some out of business but could be football's reset after this is all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
