Champions League revamp

I don't think it matters on the votes does it mate? If they've broken the rules they can be kicked out regardless.

I imagine limp wristed points deduction and transfer embargo is mor likely though which is why the other 14 should make a stand / their fans refuse to go back next season.

HM British Government: "Good morning Mr Levy. We are calling in the £175mil loan as we do not believe that you will have the ability to cover the repayment in the near future"

Daniel Levy "Sorry??? But weve just joined the Super League"

HM British Government "Preceisely Mr Levy. We are calling in the loan with immediate effect"

Daniel Levy "Buuuuu....hello? Hello? Hello?
 
Given the total disrespect these 6 teams have shown to not only the other 14 prem teams, but to every team in the English leagues, I’ll be disappointed in any outcome which ends in them staying in our league.

- Kick them out effective immediately. You don’t get to earn another £400m per year, and make the rest of football a complete irrelevance.
- You’ve signed your 23 year deal, we’ll consider allowing you back in the English leagues in 23 years, as long as the ESL in any and all guises disappears.
- Get placed in the conference on your return and work your way back up, with strict financial rules. Let’s see who you’ve got playing for you then.
They probably have too much influence. They’ll get a million pound fine each with a suspended points deduction. They’ll probably get something more severe initially but this will be quashed on appeal.
 

Don't know if it's greed or pure desperation. Or both. But it seems like the pandemic has properly dented their revenue streams. Throw in the fact you now have Leicester, us, West Ham and Villa knocking on the door of the Champions League. Even newly promoted Leeds aren't far off and could jump ahead of north London red and white. They want to pull up the drawbridge before we get there. It's hard-nosed American business men doing what they do best.

City and to a lesser extent Chelsea don't need to do this. Disappointed they jumped ship. But I hold my nose when I say this, it's United and the RS that'll open up the markets that make it all stack up for them. The other 4 could leave and the Premier league would be just fine.
 
Well this is semi closed, but yeah, I get what you're saying.

Why is your happiness connected to RM? I'd be happy to watch Everton in CL. No matter who against. And I'd rather watch RM vs Barca every week while I'm waiting for that 1 season of Everton in CL.

I don't know why you can't understand the most basic thing, we, WE, Everton/Real/whichever fans don't matter for a few decades now.

It's same [Poor language removed] like NBA mate. Watching it for entertainment value till conference finals/Grand finals.


It's funny really. Seeing those who've let fishy russian & arab capital run their clubs, those who've let fishy arab & eastern european money fill their pockets in return for euro&world cup hosting, are now pretending to be pro football, while only thing they're pro is keeping their power & influence.

Why use "fishy Arab / Russian / Eastern european" ?

Why not "filthy" ? Is that because its more racist in nature?

Why not "FILTHY AMERICAN MONEY"


Just wondering....
 

Love your optimism, but there’s really no chance Everton gets to qualify for super league.

In case it wasn't clear enough from the last 400 pages - we don't want it.

The Super League is everything that's wrong with today's football. We don't want that taint. We want the game to be pure as the driven snow, even though we know it's impossible. We can't get the money out, but we don't have to monetize every last red cent.

We believe it's possible to regulate the game in such a way as to be responsible stewards of the game and support the grassroots. We believe that our club was founded on values, and that such stewardship has become one of them. We believe in family, and taking care of our own, that nothing but the best will do, that part of that "best" is our values and that we're obligated to fight for them.

We believe that people and players become part of the Everton family not through what they say, but through what they do. We believe that once you become an Evertonian you're a part of the family for life, because once you accept those values you're not turning your back on them.

Our heroes are flawed. Our assistant manager is a club legend that literally did time for his actions on a football pitch. And we love him, because he's the kind of guy that gave 100% within the rules, broke them when he felt it was necessary, and still today finds the time to send an F-bomb laden video message to a school kid who's been slacking to tell him to shape up. He's not a conceited ball of ego like Gerrard. He's real.

This is why we don't care what the RS say. They don't have those values. They believe in winning at any cost, that whoever dies with the most money wins, that today's results are all that matter and to hell with tomorrow. So what they say doesn't matter, because those differences are so fundamental that we can never, ever agree on how to judge things.

As a foreigner that has been to the UK but never spent a minute in Liverpool, I don't think I fully understood the fault line that divides Liverpool until today. But today I do, and I'm grateful that serendipity in the form of the US players that happened to be at the club brought me here. I'm proud to be here today.

So your lot can go to off to your little clique and play footy together if you think more money will make you happier. We'll stay right here. Part of me thinks we'll miss the rivalry, but another part of me thinks it was past time for a parting of the ways.
 
As a starter I think they should have their TV money for this year revoked and give to the clubs in the lower leagues.

They are the clubs really struggling and these cheeky (insert insult here) think they can do what they like.

I just read an article where the Real Madrid chairman says football will be dead if they don’t do this and the big clubs have lost money. However, it overlooks the fact that the big clubs still made over £500m a year and so if they cannot run a viable business with that as their income then clearly they are spending beyond their means to win trophies which is up to them. They cant inflate fees and then cry about spending the money
 
What needs to happen at this PL meeting today

- full and total agreement that the scabs can no longer be part of the league
- they can finish this season but with a massive points deduction
- discussion with the FA and EFL over the cup finals, Leicester to be handed the FA Cup and either Brentford the League Cup or reinstating the team closest to the final to play them (which would be us as we had played Utd in the QF who went on to face City in the SF) on Sunday
- discussion with the EFL and National League over restructuring the leagues without the scab 6
