Now, the point you made about Amazon and Netflix is massive. Amazon has dipped their foot in PL last season and Netflix haven't. It wouldn't shock me if Amazon and Netflix approached Liverpool & Utd with the suggestions and this is why the PL are scared because they now that they will lose out on tv control.
This government is a set of idiots, so I am not shocked about them. This government isn't fit to run the country.
25% of revenue going to the EFL is massive. It's fruitful. I don't see how EFL can not back this.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
Hearing one of the things is if it's rejected then the top 6 could just join the EFL and run it from there.

Playing devil's advocate here: Should we worry if the top 6 (or 9) are making a power grab in the Premier League, if it means the EFL gets a good deal?

Yes, he might have seen the proposal recently but he wouldn't have been working on it for 3 years. Liverpool and Utd have been working on this for 3 years together.
You have to understand the 250m isn't just going to get handed over now.The government have done nothing and Sky & BT have been taking the PL clubs to the cleaners during Covid!Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
Again lets also look at another thing some of the big PL clubs have been pushing for. Going to away games is expensive as it is but so many of the smaller clubs charge United fans upto 3 times the amount that they charge the home fans for the same match, to a point that its becomes pretty common for United to pay the difference for the away fans. There has also been a trend of reducing away capacities for teams like United so they can sell more home tickets. There have been votes doing things to prevent both but the smaller teams are generally the ones who keep vetoing it because it benefits them thus screwing over lots of football fans. Which is why setting how many away tickets have to be offered and also caping away ticket prices is part of this proposal so it's fairer on fans, even though for many of the big 6 it will actually reduce their matchday income (United for example would have to offer the largest away allocation, larger than the current allocation which is already the largest in the league and sell those tickets below the cheapest home ticket)Stop hovering to collapse...

The efl could introduce salary caps across the board and fix the mismanagement of clubs in one swoop. They don’t need this to do that but Parry is clearly working on the big 6’s behalf -

@SimonW how do you think Manchester United and Liverpool, the two advocates for this plan, will get the support they need from other Premier League clubs?

Also good luck convincing Newcastle to vote with the top 6. They will want the takeover to happen which the rest don’t want.
Man united are desperate for this to go through because their crown has fallen on the floor and they can’t get it back. They don’t want to become another Leeds and lose their spot at the top table in the future.
The only way a smaller league and no league cup benefits is the big 6 so they can play a lucrative international pl tournament every summer and also so they can play more Europeans game. It will be dressed up as a way to benefit the English game but it will not. They said the premier league in its original inception was to benefit the English game but it made it worse. It took the FA to build St. George’s park and rethink our coaching methods to get that sorted. The premier league had nothing to do with it -

Sheffield Utd and Burnley did well then but not so much at the moment.
If it drops to 18 clubs and no parachute payments then fun and games for the teams having a bad season.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

Currently all PL teams are treated equal. This changes that.
I know the money would do the EFL some good, but when the EFL chairman used to be the CEO of the PL that must raise some eyebrows. -
Spurs and Liverpool can claim back 125 million for their stadium improvements as part of the changes.
Haha what a load of shit. No one should vote for this -
As for voting lots of EFL clubs backing this now.
As for PL at least 9 clubs will back it.
You do understand that the top 6 clubs are in talks to join the EFL if this is rejected.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

The problem is more two fold
1) Owners who throw in money but not enough checks are in place to ensure that the club can survive without that money. So many clubs that were in the PL and now aren’t due to financial issues had those financial issues due to owners throwing money at them only to then stop. The FFP regulations now in place prevent clubs just throwing money at the situation in the medium to long term, they have to build the club to support that but short term it’s still ripe for abuse if the right oversight isn’t done right away, for example the situations at the likes of Portsmouth and Blackburn. When clubs like this gets into trouble it causes issues to all PL clubs on a number of levels.
2) Sports washing. City’s political situation while not the worst in that region does tarnish the league reputation while being used to make people forget the issues going on in their country. Saudi royal family as owners would be a million times worse. The league were trying to do anything they could not to turn it down no matter how shady things were, they were almost begging the government to make the decision for them and if it wasn’t for the piracy issue you can guarantee they would have ok'd it to the detriment of English footballStop hovering to collapse...
