Frazzlebeak Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Anyone bending over to pick up the small carrot being offered will feel there trousers slowly falling down around their ankles and something blunt being inserted where they don’t want it. Absolute joke of a proposal, unless your one of the nine.........Baggins Shire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several clubs seem to have little interest in the Caribou Cup and the Europa league seems to go on for ever. True, but they tend to play second strings in those games anyway. Losing a couple of teams only saves a few games and presumably that de values the main product in some way. I never really got their issue as they only have 38 league games and it’s 46 in the EFL plus cups with a fraction of the budget. First world problems Made more sense when Bolton tried to close the league off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inc Cups. Not sure if Celtic and Rangers would go for it though, do you think they would? Let the big 6 ******** off to be a NFL style euro super league. The rest of us can recreate football to be for the fans a bit more. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It's about time supporters of EFL clubs stand together and stop the dictatorship and greed of the Premier league. If all supporters of clubs outside the Premier stopped paying Sky subscriptions until they put fairer distribution of wealth down to the lower leagues. This would be a devastating drop in revenue. I am sick of paying monthly to see my money fund clubs I don't give a ******** about. The latest proposal of having pay per view for certain games is the final straw.

The football league being too big is part of the problem this batshit idea is trying to resolve. Besides celtic and rangers will probably end up in the other league if uefa allowed cross border competition and I really don't fancy watching us get trounced by tyrfer myffil or some other tinpot village outside of England.

TommyCraig Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Need a government enquiry about this, especially around Parrys actions. We have one for everything else so can't see why not for this as it affects so many nationwide. Trying to push this through now, while this crisis is happening just beggars belief. Fooooook the 9 and Fooooook Parry, rhe bent two hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod9 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised if the PL had a vote to just abolish relegation. Close the door and just let their clubs reap the rewards (with an obvious sweetener in a brown bag). I’m so sick of it now that nothing would surprise me.

Football fans should easily hit that figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they just want to play fewer games Because they perceive that reducing fixture congestion will give them a better chance of winning the Champions Leauge plus Premier League prize & tv money will be shared between fewer clubs.

snaykz Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) It sounds like this proposal has just been dreamt up by Man Utd and Liverpool, and that no Premier League clubs outside the 'big 6' had any knowledge of this. The Premier League has released a statement: "In the Premier League's view, a number of the individual proposals in the plan published today could have a damaging impact on the whole game and we are disappointed to see that Rick Parry, chair of the EFL, has given his on-the-record support. "The Premier League has been working in good faith with its clubs and the EFL to seek a resolution to the requirement for COVID-19 rescue funding. This work will continue."

They won't be missed. Why would you wish this? I want to see Wednesday in the premier League as one of the big clubs not an also ran or, as you are proposing, irrelevant.
