    Fordy doesn't owe you an apology. You were wrong in a way no one has ever seen before. Nobody can believe how wrong you were, and how right Fordy was. People like you are very bad people. We have to get rid of you for the sake of the forum, and it will all get better. it will be like a miracle, nobody will believe it. Nobody will have seen anything like it.

    At the moment each Premier club has one vote and 14 are needed to change any rule, The proposal is that a nominated 9 clubs will get a vote and only 6 needed to change a rule, The drive behind this is Foreign TV money which is worth billions and shared between all 20 clubs, The top six want to sell the rights individually meaning they will get most if not all the foreign rights money, As with everything with the top clubs it is all about money

    Some EFL clubs will "disappear within five to six weeks" unless they get financial support, says Nigel Travis, chairman of League Two Leyton Orient.

    He also said 'Project Big Picture' - a plan by Liverpool and Manchester United to reform the English football pyramid - was a "great proposal".

    But he added: "One thing I need to quash is, this isn't about the pandemic, this is about a crisis in football that goes back many years.

    "Before the pandemic, 75% of clubs were losing money - that can't continue. The pandemic has, if you like, exacerbated the problem and we need to get it fixed.

    "I know you are talking about 'Project Big Picture' - this is a great proposal as far as we are concerned. It is certainly very promising and clubs need it.

    "Something like this has to go through."

    "The real villains here are the government," added Orient chairman Travis. "They've thrown football into a difficult situation. They said the Premier League has to bail out the EFL.

    "I understand that but now they are complaining about what is coming out of some creative people".


    "As of a week ago, as far as I know, all the Premier League came up with was £50m - that is not enough.

    "The £250m that has been talked about and the 25% share is clearly going to create a sustainable model and that's what we need in football.

    "If there are better proposals, I would love to hear them.

    This is all about the top 6 not wanting to share the tv money any more as they don’t think the rest of the peasant clubs deserve it.
    I’d rather let them break away than accept this shit for the sake of 250 million grant for the EFL. This cannot be voted in. We will regret it

    The PL broadcasting contracts for league matches will diminish at the next renewal. Thus less money to give to the EFL. However as the European competitions become ever larger then the television contracts will grow thus giving more money to the top 6. Thus cementing their position for eternity. Also by removing the League Cup there will never be a chance for any EFL club to "do a City" again.

    If there is any truth in that tweet, then you have to ask is Rick Parry is feathering his own nest, we dont know the details but as the EFL representative the offer should have been discussed with the 72 clubs it would have affected.

    I think it’s clear he is. He will still be in bed with Liverpool and will no doubt get some sweetners from the other deal

    The need for the top 6 to have all the power is pure capitalism.

    The real question with capitalism is why on earth do all the rest tend to fervently support, back, and even praise them when we all see through it?

    How do they fit the 2 who drop out of the premier league into the pyramid? Do they relegate 4 one season from league 2? I can’t get my head around that. I can see why some league 2 clubs would be reluctant if that’s the case. I think we should be the way we played last night

    There will be 5 or 6 times that number of EFL clubs which will go to the wall over the next few months without a major injection of cash. The only game in town at the moment on that front is the Liverpool/Man U proposal

    What do you say to the proposals that Parry has to resign for this to go through?
    What about all the supporters Clubs of the big 6 who have now joined together to condemn this deal?

    Why is it we accept the first offer? This is the 18th draft I think I read somewhere. It’s a power grab and must not be accepted without adjustments

    All soundbites to appease fans. It’s all bullshit. Much like using furlough cash and spending 1.2billion this window. They don’t care.
    A lot of people facing no work for months ah but we will charge you 14.95 to watch your side. It’s complete greed upon greed upon greed. I hope it eats itself and we can start again

    Most of the cash would go to the Championship as it does now, League 2 clubs be lucky to get any decent cash from this proposal,

    As I posted erlier, I cannot understand why any EFL club would vote against it.

    In the unlikely event that there are no more proposals from other groups, I'm sure there will be some tinkering around the edges to make the overall deal more palatable to some of the dissenting voices. One detail I don't particularly is the concentration of voting rights in a small number of clubs. There is a need for some checks and balances around that to make it fairer and avoid accusations of vested interests having too much control. Another one I wouldn't like is the access a samll number of clubs will have to the financial affirs of other clubs. That just doesn't feel right. Instead I'd like to see that as the responsibility of an independent governance body whose sole job is to ensure the financial viability of all PL and EFL clubs.

    At the end of the day, the EFL clubs need a huge injection of cash to ensure their survival both during the Covid 19 crisis and beyond. I can't for one minute believe the Govt will stump up the cash which leaves the PL itself or some of its clubs to provide the cash. And there will be conditions attached to that both on a footballing front and on the structure of the leagues.

    Why should the government do anything?

    Football is a business, it should be governed only by the laws of business.

    If football is not viable under the laws of business it should be liquidated.

    No exceptions.

    Sentiment has no place in any of this.

    The fact is the upper strata of football management are incompetent.

    Reading that if it goes through the only glory clubs like us can get is from the FA Cup as there wont be the Carabao Cup, lots of stuff that sounds positive but the PL aren't helping the EFL teams because they don't want EFL clubs to go bust, there will be more the Premier boys want going forward.
