Premier League and EFL reform [UPDATE 3 Dec 2020: Rescue Package Agreed]

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

 

I wondered what had contributed to fxcxing up football.
It's obviously this lot.

Football got on fine with minimal rule changes over the years from about 1890.

Why are we changing the rules now?

(rhetoric question, no need to answer).

 

You would genuinely think there wasn't enough money in British football.

That is the embarrassing situation we find ourselves in due to chronic, long-term mismanagement of the game.

 

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

 

Yep, total fiddle and a racket run by rich owners.

They can all kindly do one and leave English football for good, I wouldn't miss any of them one bit.

 

The majority of it is caused by mismanagement in the efl yet we plod on with them in charge.

 

Do the Premier league not take all the EFL rights and just redistribute with the PL money but to us? How do we know they are getting the best deal for us?
The gap will be even greater it will not fix a lopsided championship. Plus I don’t think many side in the last 5 seasons or so has gone straight back up to the premier league when relegated?

 

Largely agree with this and if the proposal for the voting in the PL was to remain as now would be a move forward

 

I understand that but why the need for the top 6 to have all the power. They could turn around in a few years and say ah EFL is a burden. We only want to give them 15% now. They’ve got their salary caps in place and should be sustainable.
There is no way we should lose the League cup or restrict the top league to 18 teams.

 

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.

 

What makes you think that, someone posted earlier there will be more competition the next time round possibly the likes of Netfix Amazon and other streaming company's could get involved.

 

A route the EFL could have gone down? Who knows?

 

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

 

Maybe that's one of the reason Dave Baldwin offered his resignation, he's no bodies fool isn't Dave.
