Proposed changes to the Premier league

There aren't too many games, that's ridiculous, when they used to go out on the piss every night and smoked they managed 42 league games a season.
European competition, league cup and fa cup with replays they managed with squads of about 16ish.

The whole reason huge squads came in, 25 men was to compensate for the the extra games so with a 25 man squad you should have ample to play every competition, nobody's fault if the back ups aren't good enough and you get injuries.
 
We have two threads running on this topic, the other in the 'World football' section, so I will post this here also:

On an issue as important as this, I believe the supporters forums of all those other clubs potentially impacted should band together and deliver their views to the PL authority on the matter.

They should also copy in every club, stating quite clearly that it is a 'money-grabbing exercise' for the Big 6, no more, no less, and they want no part of it.

The media should also be constantly bombarded about this issue.

If ever there is a time when supporters internet forums can be seen to be a positive force in the game, now is the time.

and whenever a gap is created, they fill them with lucrative other games. Modern big squads should be able to cope, in years gone by, only one sub was allowed and teams won titles only using 14/15 players. This is abhorrent and if anything like it goes ahead, I'm done.
 
Let's have it right.
Getting rid of two teams and the league Cup in anticipation of protecting players is bull.

The champions league is being extended
Pre season tournaments extended

Its that basically. Money.

Also, the stipulation that teams can manage they're own TV deals for 8 games a year.

There goes the TV money. Why would Sky pay top dollar when clubs are removing the top games from them.?

Anyone who thinks we will benefit in this is deluded
 
FSG and the Glaziers getting hammered tonight by the panel on Talksport. They even mentioned the timing of it, waiting for the COVID crisis to win the support of the lower clubs to make it appear they are the knights in shining armour coming to the rescue of the lower clubs, when the reality is they are only looking after their own interests.
