Traf Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Not trawling back, so sorry if it has been said already.... Fuck 'em. Let 'em go. Don't let them back in. Bar their players from playing for England. Re build the league as a 4-division set up of 20 and 3 x 22 without them. 4 up, 4 down from every league to avoid late season dead-rubbers Still relegate clubs this season as planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted April 19, 2021 Members Share Posted April 19, 2021 I despise the scousers, especially their fans,but credit where credit is due no and I do mean NO ONE makes banners faster than them.

Ani Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 A lot depends on what the final structure looks like. If the teams are excluded from the top leagues and cups and the players banned from International football it is totally different than if they retain those rights.

Guest Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I really hope that either Spurs or Utd, if they are playing in both leagues, experience relegation as in the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye doyle Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Govt ministers saying they will do whatever it takes to stop it. So legislation to stop the games being broadcast in the UK for example. It’ll be binned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 "The Big Six". I thought that was the six clubs involved in discussions to found the Football League: Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Preston North End, Stoke and West Bromwich Albion. They didn't protect their status, and after finishing bottom of the league for the first two seasons Stoke were voted out and replaced by distant Sunderland.

Someone has to be bottom of that league...do you think clubs used to being the top, will be happy to be bottom of this new thing !?! Its not as rosey for everyone as it seems. No relegation, that's the key - just the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF money went, than it would level alot of the prem again. Obviously the big waged foreigners would go....not arsed about most of them anyway. Rather play young lads every game...couldn't care less if we are in europe or mid-table. Go where though Pedro? Where would they go if all the European leagues had reigned in spending? We had perfectly good teams before foreign mercenaries came over here looking for PL riches and the stupid wages being paid. Levelling down actually wouldn’t affect us as supporters if we could still sign good players but at much lower wages. Are we saying that players earning £2m wouldn’t perform just as well on £1m and still have a higher level life than the majority of working people? We’ve just lost all sense of perspective and I personally would rather see and support players I can identify with, rather than multi millionaire reprobates who are too big for their Nike boots. Maybe I’m the only one but to be honest, I hope they do pack up and go and I think football here would be far better off for it than worse.

Sure we won't get to see the best players in the world but if my club is winning I don't give a fuck I just don’t get this, we won’t see the best players bit. Sky aren’t going to pull the plug on football just because the big six clear off. There is still mega money to be made because fans want to watch football and will pay for it. Look at our iFollow numbers and that’s in L2. Of course revenue will be down but how is that a bad thing if players have to take a pay cut from their stupid money now? Are you saying that these 15 or 20 clubs are going to buy up all the good players? They might have the cream but if the ones that are left can form an effective competition, which they will, what’s wrong with that. And you can forget about these clubs spending money on academies, they’ll just buy ready made when they want. Football was here before the PL and better and more enjoyable in my view and will be after it’s gone and returned to League 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 19, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 The only reason closed shops like this work in America is because of the draft system. Tampa Bay were utter dogshit a few years ago but won the Super Bowl this time around. Though admittedly they transferred in a superstar quarterback which helped. But the draft allows teams on their arse to build on the best new and upcoming talent. This won’t have a draft system which means a shit team will almost certainly always be shit.
