Champions League revamp

[Martin Alvito]

They cant (without support of the six) - to remove or add someone to the PL would take a vote of 75% majority rather than the traditional 14 votes. The 14 cant go off on one either way.

That's a legal question, but I'd be willing to bet that if the 14 clubs vote to expel the remaining six for a violation of league rules explicitly punishable by expulsion, it'll hold up in court.

The reasoning is straightforward enough - if they can't, any sufficiently large cabal of members can break the rules and serve as the jury in their own case, rendering the rules meaningless.

It’s easy to make fun of Liverpool for “taking their flags off the kop” but there’s not much the average fan or supporter can do this second, and I actually commend them for taking what little symbolic action they can.

They’re bent over a barrel, because the club knows full well, if a local fan gives it up, they can sell it 100x over!

Impossible position.

No, your original post was poorly worded - it looked like you were implying that we should all want to be a part of the ESL.

Rather than acknowledge this, you are trying to imply that the majority of people who read it as that are somehow stupid.

Ok.

Sorry mate but you would. You don't just walk away from being a supporter. You'd eventually come to terms with it and the first game against barcelona you'd be frothing at the mouth. We all would. I'm not meaning to have a pop at people here I'm just pointing out the reality.

You're wrong. I walked away from wrestling when WWE jumped the shark, I'd do the same with this with a smile on my face.

Everton would no longer exist to me, so I wouldn't really be making a choice.

I doubt a single poster in here wouldn't want the roles to be swapped with them lot over the park given the chance. Let's be honest about it. Football is dead.

Absolutely not.

If we cared about that kind of thing we would just support someone else anyway.

Who exactly do you think you are to tell other people how they feel? You’re as arrogant as the clubs doing this, hardly surprising that you’d fall in line I suppose.

It's not even just that. If they were part of it, and then won the whole thing, they then get kicked out of it next season while the whipping boys of spurs and arsenal retain their place. Why would anyone want to?

 

[MikeH72]

"If we had won the amount of trophies they had and we suddenly became part of a “big 6” breakaway to this nonsense, I’d stop supporting us immediately."

I had you down as a liar trying to play superfan but you really are quite thick.

Quite a key part of the statement that you just completely chose to ignore there you absolute shed.

 

[Terrarian]

That is a good point, the 5 aren't just going to be able to chop and change at will. People need f***ing over this disgrace.

 

[Dom1878]

And what about the poor SPL clubs who rely on Celtic/Rangers?

The whole thing of inviting the bigot brothers is shameless and no better than these 12 snake clubs.

Give all clubs the opportunity to join in retrospective leagues and absorb the entire league into one system. Just thinking of ideas which would keep the PL TV Revenue consistent if the Rich 6 were to go.

Go for a walk Paddy James

 

[Wat Tyler]

I want nothing less than the six scab clubs tomorrow to be expelled from the PL. No olive branches, no negotiations, get them gone.

Remember they tried to make their votes worth more than all the other clubs? Out, no exceptions, all six banished forever.

 

[canuckblue]

So you don't know what I'm saying then.

Would I like Everton to be in the position of being considered worthy? Of course. Would I like it if Everton actually joined? Hell, no. How's that?

 

[hktoffee]

If any team get expelled from UEFA for playing that no other club would dare?

 

[Papa Shango]

And when they all do that they may as well invite FC Miami, (insert Chinese Team) and Boca Juniors.
