Up until the second round you have to try very hard to get knocked out of the final tournament too, same with the World Cup. Ruined it really, 16 team Euros were perfect.

Roger_Dubuis Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Some of the other proposals  League Cup and Charity Shield abolished  Later Premier League start to give more scope for pre season tours  Clubs allowed to have 15 players out on loan and up to 4 at a single club  Financial fair play rules in line with Uefa, PL to have full access to club accounts - City and Chelsea won't like that one!   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowball Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Feared that Covid would be an excuse to change football forever and it will never be the same again. Does the plan have merits tho? The parachute money is unfair. The Big Six untouchable anyway? £250 million would stop a lot of EFL clubs going bang. Got to be better than that City mons idea of 'B' sides in EFL. No?

deane koontz Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The proposals, dubbed Project Big Picture, would see: The Premier League cut from 20 to 18 clubs, with the Championship, League One and League Two each retaining 24 teams.  The bottom two teams in the Premier League relegated automatically with the 16th-placed team joining the Championship play-offs.  The League Cup and Community Shield abolished. Parachute payments scrapped.  A £250m rescue fund made immediately available to the EFL  £100m paid to the FA to make up for lost revenue.  Nine clubs given 'special voting rights' on certain issues, based on their extended runs in the Premier League   Ex Liverpool chief executive EFL chairman Rick Parry says "reforms will benefit game as a whole"  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted October 12, 2020 Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 Didn't I hear that 25% of PL profits would also go to the EFL each year? A nice carrot to dangle but, when I consider the two clubs pushing this I smell a big fat fucking rat. This wouldn't be being pushed for philanthropic reasons - there must be a massively larger slice of the pie to these two for them to be pushing it.

PL is a not for profit organisation isn’t it, only there to provide money to the 20 PL clubs What’s stopping the PL pushing more money to PL clubs so they make less profit or even non at all! Thus EFL clubs get jack shit   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Just a stepping stone to their eventual target of a European super league that’ll be closed off and be a franchise based system like the NFL. Their patronising offer of some spare change from their TV deal is pathetic. Just fuck off, you won’t be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Not one of the so called big six existed when we were busy founding the league. Go back to pre Abramovitch and Chelsea were fuck all. We'd won more stuff. City were league one not long back.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 PL proposal is largely bullshit 20 clubs currently get approx £150m from the TV deal, so they share £3,000m Reduce to 18 teams and "give" the EFL £250m. So, 18 teams will share £2,750m = £152.8m each, so the 18 are actually going to be initially better off. And if the 3 EFL leagues remain at 24 clubs, are 2 League 2 clubs getting booted?
