Proposed changes to the Premier league

[LostLegend]

Think we've all known for a while that football doesn't have fans any more, it has customers.
It's far more lucrative to market your team towards an international audience than the local one.

Pre season tournaments in Dubai, Shanghai and New York. Extended half time with shows/singers. Giant foam hands, popcorn for sale, not a local in sight.
An unmoving cartel of clubs just like the NFL.
They'll rake it in.

Sickening really.

Christ they aren’t even hiding it are they

This is quite sinister and opportunistic. Waving a huge cheque in front of the EFL and the FA to get their backing so Liverpool and Utd can consolidate their already substantial power over the domestic game.

My thoughts exactly.

It’s a power grab when the lower leagues are desperate.

Spot on & inevitable unfortunately. I suspect, there will be a middle ground met soon, what is particularly dissapointing is these two probably have the blessing of the other 9 and many other stakeholders already

How long before the American influences try to get rid of promotion and relegation to protect their 'franchises'?

All they need is for this to pass/be agreed upon. The very day it's implemented those 6 could say "and we are now immune to relegation" and theres nothing anyone could do to stop it.

LFC.. bad bad Tory club. They should be referred to as this at every opportunity.

 

[Blueclouds]

I suspect the club has "approved in principle"

Why we need to let them know this is disgusting

Problem is if these proposals are rejected or significantly changed then LFC and Utd will just go and form a European Super League and no one can stop them.

Let's be honest no one will be interested in what's left of an English, Spanish, German or Italian league without their 'Super clubs' and ALL the TV money and major sponsorships would float off to that European Super League. The English league will be like the Championship is now...pointless.

No point being scared of the inevitable dawn of the Euro Super League... football would die and they’d soon revert it.

Yet they’re desperate to paint themselves as ‘renegade socialist bastions’

 

[jinkyali]

I think I'd just pack it in.

if that would make money, they'd have done it years ago

 

[Sphincter Sports]

Will these scumbags want to do there own fixture schedules aswell.

Honestly everybody should campaign against this, start writing to the FA, how could we ever trust anything that had these corrupt people taking part in.

I wish them the best in their future endeavors as former English clubs.

 

[TheBigIguana]

This is undeniably going to end at some point in a franchise type system. Just a question of when and how at this point.

I wish them a lot, but the best certainly isn't included in that list.
