Where will it end... 12th September as it happens

Of course it's a different bill.. it's TV!

Sorry for me football is about going to the game with friends or family.. spending the day or afternoon together.

PL football is different because the demand to get into the stadium is higher, fan base bigger and the quality is better as @Interested Bystander can say.

For 14k to sit at home pay x amount to watch div 2 football on TV with no atmosphere isn't going to happen.

As for the bill you because the experience is different you then have to consider it with other tv bills you pay like Sky etc.

We won't get 8k ifollowers..

 

On a side issue PL have voted to go back to 3 subs.

Can't remember what the EFL did in the Championship, play offs etc but I hope it's 3 subs for for all leagues next season.

 

Championship was 5

 

I can't remember as Efl was boring.

Hopefully, Efl clubs vote to go back to 3.

Well,well,well EFL could face player action on proposed salary cap

 

Jesus Christ, the EFL clearly isn't fit to run a bath. Reading that it's clear they haven't consulted with the very people that will suffer the most, the players. Should never have got to this stage but the EFL chose to ignore blatant warning signs like Bury and Macclesfield and their fit and proper purpose test is laughable.

 

Yes,we tend to forget the PFA but they have shall we say a massive part to play and they have been overlooked big time.
Should be an interesting meeting tomorrow.

 

There's a "theory" that the EFL are just treading water in anticipation of the EPL stepping to bail them out.

 

If the EFL get the required backing 60% ?, I can't see what the PFA can actually do about it, clubs have to "cut your cloth to suit" there will still be owners who will pay good money for right players just that they have to fit that cost into their budget by maybe bringing more kids in.

 

The fact remains the PFA have not been consulted regarding the financial implications on its members many who are now unemployed.
I believe ROD is our PFA rep and assume that he as been contacted by the Union regarding this very important oversight.

 

"Of course we could help out more, but I'll be buggered if I'll wipe out some shyster's debt" said by a PL co-chairman at the time of Bury's demise

 

Baroness Brady you mean.

 

Don't get me wrong it would have been the correct thing to do to involve PFA, and I have no problem with the PFA getting the best deals ETC for there members, but it looks like football certainly the lower leagues could not carry on paying some of the figures quoted for League One and Two players, it's a shame it has come to possibly several clubs going to the wall to bring a little common sense to the table, yes clubs have not helped themselves at times going for broke and putting their clubs at risk.

 

The EFL won't escape the wrath coming their way Bronco.
The emortal words
"Told you so "ringing in their tiny ears when the inevitable happens.
When more than one club goes to the wall, and they will mark my words.

 

One thing that doesn't seem to have been discussed is the impact on over 25s.
With this salary cap and squad limit you are effectively making a very large portion of players unemployed due to their age.
When you consider that most if not all of these players have been paying subs to the PFA for several years I can see why they would be concerned.

 

If that happens, I fear the PL will give the EFL a list of demands to go with the loaning of money. Main one being Premier league B teams in the EFL. Much like Spain etc. Game done then for me
