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. Yes I think they will they are the two teams that have the potential to compete at championship and it would add more revenue in a competitive league Swansea, Cardiff rangers and Celtic would make a uk based league more interesting and give god forbid one wins it gives their nation bragging rights all 4 teams could easily find the right formula to win the league as is the competitive edge the championship brings people will talk about travel distance other countries travel much further plus the lower teams could go in to local national conference division think we do this currently in England any way the league would need to find a solution to fund such journeys and maybe more tiers and less congestion would nullify the daft Saturday, Tuesday Saturday fixtures maybe championship top 2/ 3 Europe qualification league one league two possible league three national Scottish conference national Scottish conference 1 etc national English conference English conference north English conference south national welsh conference keep the lower budget teams competitive at local level but a chance to be promoted to a more competitive league Uk cup (Everyone ) Europe qualification league cup ( league cups ) Europe qualification conference cup (conference teams ) let’s get football interesting bring it’s heritage back and give teams and fans something to go for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Frazzlebeak Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just seen Parry on Sky tell everyone what a brilliant idea this is and how he’s been involved in it. Absolute Judas! The insidious little ****** couldn’t look into the camera whilst selling the EFL down the swanny. Absolute 2hat needs replacing asap. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 What a flipping two hat Parry is. Ludicrous appointing him in the first place, a long standing former chairman of a league club would make far more sense. Whoever is in that position should fight against the Premier League, not help them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the sports channels mate, the lads sky package without sports has nearly trebled since the bigger TV deal for the premier league .

On some things the EFL and EPL will have similar objectives but on others not. Parry is simply attempting to further his own ends. In reality there needs to be independent scrutiny of decision making across football. It is at a crisis point with the very fabric of the game being pulled apart for Chinese fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 How is this not a conflict of interest on Parry’s part? Former Liverpool CEO doing their bidding on behalf of EFL clubs. ******** scandalous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mighty wednesday Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1 hour ago, No Uniform said: He as good as admits it here. https://www.efl.com/news/2020/october/efl-statement-project-big-picture/ plus absolutely disses Huddersfield here as well. He is a disgrace. Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, Arsenal and Southampton would not even be in the Football League if the original members had a "bigger" vote than other teams and pulled up the drawbridge like they want the power to do. Liverpool, Chelsea and West Ham didn't even exist when the Football League was founded. They have all had the benefit of one team one vote when they were "ordinary" teams. Nobody associated with football should think it is a good idea to give all the voting power to a handful of clubs. To think this is being supported by the chairman of the EFL is a disgrace. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can now say that this proposal eradicates them. Giving the power to the 9 clubs is too big a price to pay for what will probably become a closed shop in a few years time.

the mighty wednesday Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I've read the full proposal as quoted on this thread and if the financial aspects (I admit I have no idea about viability) of it re bailing out and protecting lower league clubs and grass roots it would be ok apart from giving 9 clubs the power to change the competition. I liked to think at first that this part of the deal was an opening gambit by the 9 clubs and not the EFL's (Rick Parry's) idea but the quote about Huddersfield having a smaller say than Man Utd really stinks.

The golf and cricket coverage is first class, can’t fault it. The fact that they have Neville and Carragher on their flagship football shows shows how low they have sunk with football. Unfortunately they package it all as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
