    It doesn’t matter who the Efl back. They need 14 premier league teams to vote for it to pass.
    The only thing the 6 may do is threaten to break away. Good luck with that I’d say. Another set of 6 would just take their place as the top 6 They are only the top 6 because they are successful now. That can soon change. Football always goes in cycles but this reform is attempting to threaten those cycles

    I've seen that comment about there being an invitation to the Big 6 from the EFL to join the EFL league. I'm told the invitation is true but it doesn't have much value.

    A colleague at another firm who does a lot of work in this area with PL clubs has already said it's really a non-starter since Sky wouldn't want that to happen because it would undermine the current TV deals.More importantly, it would open the door to the Big 6 to negotiating their own broadcasting deals with whoever they wanted! Who knows what the consequences of that would be for the rest of the pyramid includ ing EFL clubs. But it's a good negotiating point.

    People are forgetting that the likes of Sky & BT have been using their power throughout Covid. The rebates has been massive for the PL and EFL.

    The top 6-9 clubs could move to the EFL and it moves the power to the EFL. The PL is just a name but it's nothing without the top 6-9 clubs.

    Sky are already getting scared of this proposal.

    If they were readmitted to the ELF would the EFL revert to the old Division's 1/2/3 and 4 as at the present moment the EFL consists of 3 leagues.

    I've gone on about the top 6-9 Pl clubs but the fact is if Liverpool and Man Utd walked away from the PL then the PL is finished.

    That's what I don't get ,would the top 6 join the EFL and in their first season win EFL1 and create EFL PL 1 then where would the other current 14 PL teams be left ?

    Exaclty this. Why would they walk away? There wouldn’t be no guarantee of Champions league places from a new league as one example. It just won’t happen at all.
    Let’s see these new deals that are being offered. This ones self centred garbage for the top 6

    Yeah I agree. As I said no guarantee of champions league football which they want.
    I am more interested to see these other deals and pretty certain the other clubs won’t fold until they know of other proposals

    Read the proposal again.

    It gives power 9 clubs. So 5 clubs needed for it go through.

    I await the second proposal next week/month.

    Look, from a EFL point of view it's bad news. In your end you are not understanding clubs need the money now.

    You won't be laughing if a super league is formed with no money to the EFL. You do understand the government won't allow fans back this season...You do understand that will cost Bradford City and the likes at least 500k plus meaning clubs will go under.

    I don't care who is in control of football.

    I guess you didn’t read it. Not that I’m shocked. A bail out package for league one and league two is expected to dealt with this week

    Is that a government bailout @How@How ?, so much flying around it's difficult to keep up.

    From the premier league I believe. They are set to announce it for league one and league two (I imagine because salary cap is in place) and then negotiate a separate one for championship

    Says who? I believe it when it happens.

    Cambridge Chairman says it's not going to just happen like that and called on the government.

    You're dreaming if you think the PL are just handing over 250m

    Its being widely reported by many that an EFL package is on its way and currently being negotiated. It was reported as soon as the meeting finished by the telegraph, the times and the athletic.
    Don’t worry I think I’ve counted 3 climbdowns you’ve had to make this week. I’ll await for the 4th.
    Where have I ever said they will just give us 250 million? Of course it’s going to have strings attached. I have said from the word go that this is not the deal we want giving away any power and closing the league off. And reducing it to 18 teams.
    There is talk of now two other proposals. Let’s see what they offer. I am glad we didn’t sell out to the first one like you wanted. I wonder if that’s because it was concocted by your beloved Liverpool?
