How do we move further away from the top? They’re not joining the EFL. Teams could leave therefore we get closer to the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs haven’t even considered the suporters. It’ll be like F1 whereby they don’t need fans at the circuits any more. Taking that a stage further, the BIG worry is that more money - Sky, bt, etc - will gravitate towards the SL and away from the devalued Premier League and especially the EFL. That happens and it’ll be an earthquake for British football. Who cares? Let the TV money go. Clubs will be far better off if they have to balance the budgets based on ticket sales and there is no more incentive for shady foreign businessmen to get involved chasing that Premiership 'promised land'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The irony of all of this is fans haven't even been allowed back into stadiums after a major pandemic and this has been done behind everyone's backs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewings Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I can't wait for them to all leave, maybe we can have English football back. Bayern Munich and Ajax or Spurs for European pedigree is so one sided it's funny..... the whole thing is a farce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your super league have it but you aren’t coming back. There should be no teams from these clubs because I’m sure they are thinking they can have feet in both camps. It’s now upto UEFA the premier league and the FA to put them in their place. Will they? I doubt it they will come up with a compromise highly weighted in the super league favour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams could leave therefore we get closer to the top When I was a kid in the early 80s getting promoted to the top flight playing Arsenal Spurs Man United and Liverpool were one of the reasons I got excited about watching this sport ...without the big teams we lose it all. If there was a league were Everton and WHU were the high flyers it would make it less appealing and questions would always asked what would these teams do if the big six were allowed back, it would make it shìt if you want my honest opinion not to mention the repercussions on the small clubs further down the leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc1983 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 As much as I am in agreement with their opposition to it, I’ll fully expect all these virtue signaling ex-pros turned pundits and tv presenters to quit their tv jobs if their employer is a chosen platform for this ESL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Maybe this is overly optimistic of me... but I hope this debacle gives FIFA, UEFA, the FA, etc a bit of a rocket up their arses and they start doing what’s best for the game as opposed to what’s best for corporate interests. Feels like a culmination of how big money has been allowed to take over the people’s game more and more for the past couple of decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's closing the door on most clubs, all of the fans and making sure that some very rich powerful men make even more money and grab even more power. ........and that's what it's really all about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
