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.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Tom Hallett likes this. -
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 itTony Wilkinson likes this. -
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.

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 likes this. -

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 adjustmentstrevor likes this. -
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 againTony Wilkinson likes this. -

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.Interested Bystander likes this. -
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.Tony Wilkinson likes this. -
