I couldn't care less about Liverpool or Manchester United. My team for the past 60 odd years has been and always will be Bradford City.

Sounds thrilling. As I say they can go.
It’s the fans of these clubs I feel sorry for. How can they afford trips abroad to watch their teams every other weekend? They are being robbed of their clubs.
Let’s build a league without them. All those rivalries and history we have England. We don’t the self indulgent top 6 to make good leagues with good footballAngryangryian, Keefly Bantam, Gardscoigne and 5 others like this. -

I am getting sick and tired , of these mega rich foreign owners of the football clubs in the uk.
They care not one jot for the history and tradition of the game, just want to line their pockets.
We were also told how good the premier league and the influx of foreign players , would be for the national team.
We have still won nothing since 1966 and that drivel today. I got more exitment clipping my toe nails.The Original EB, Bronco, QCFC BANTAM and 3 others like this. -

Let them go, tell them they no longer represent English football or the Premier league and should they wish to rejoin they would do so at the lowest part of the football pyramid possible.

Given the number of season ticket holders we have I don't think we bring that much in week to week in terms of gate receipts, so others may actually benefit from this more than we do.Old Grey Fox, Inspector, Rogered Tart and 1 other person like this. -

How anyone not in the top 6 thinks this is a good idea is beyond me. It’s a total power grab. They are dangling a carrot with the efl money and the gullible chairman are lapping it up. Games totally gone in this country if this passes

Peterbrough owner on talksport predicts by December that 5-6 clubs won't be able to pay their players wages. He's predicting that December will be when it gets really bad and he's going to have to put in £700,000 of his own money.
The Government are really making a mess of this. -

It looks like there's been a bit of a change of heart by the EFL on the PL's rescue package. I'd call it a U-turn! After having rejected the £50m package for the Div 1 and Div 2 clubs and stuck to their original position that they wanted £250m from the PL for all EFL clubs, including those Championship clubs with wealthy owners, the EFL has now agreed to accept the £50m for Div 1 & 2 clubs.
That's good news imo for those lower league clubs who are really suffering at the mo with rumours of players and staff going unpaid and a small number of clubs staring liquidation in the face. I hope this gets sorted out quickly now. It appears disciussions are still taking place on how the PL will help Championship clubs, well some of them at least. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in those discussions!Bronco, Interested Bystander and trevor like this. -

£250,000 is peanuts and crumbs from the table of the Premier League.

Government and the premier league condemning it now. Good on them. Hope this never happens. Using covid as a bargaining chip to get what they want the big 6. Joke.

The "big" six have actually only finished 1st to 6th on five occasions.
Im quite happy for these clubs to feck off and play in their European super league. The sooner they do the better. This new proposal is all lined up for it anyway. Longer pre season, no charity shield or league Cup and less fixtures with there being 18 teams. It means they can bugger off to Madrid and Milan and Paris no problem while still competing domestically.
As soon as the TV deal with the champions league ends then this will be a reality imo.Tony Wilkinson and JonButterfield like this.
