    European breakaway league

    They could indeed but would be odd timing given that others that have tried it have deemed it not to be commercially advantageous due to the costs involved and the decrease in sponsorship as a result of lower viewing figures when not on a mainstream platforms. Its a big jump from a couple of...

    That would be some interesting transfer negotiations. A choice of Prem football and representing you country but no European competition or ESL and can't play for England or in the Prem.

    European breakaway league

    Amazon have now issued a statement saying they have no involvement. DAZN have said similar. The response from Sky and BT suggests its not going to be them broadcasting it. BBC and ITV wouldn't be able to afford it. Who is left?

    Rashford has posted this on his twitter and Henderson has called an emergency meeting of all Premier League captains (not just the big six) for tomorrow. Players reportedly furious they were ambushed with this and are the ones being questioned by the media. Apparently a German paper is saying...

    Is it the case they would need a vote to change the rules where this is clubs breaking existing rules?

    European breakaway league

    I know its been said they were expecting a PR backlash but you have to wonder if they were expecting this much backlash.

    European breakaway league

    Is this the real endgame? Sky quoting a senior figure at one of the breakaway six Premier League clubs as saying the ESL’s plans could be sidelined if fundamental changes to the present Champions League structure were agreed with UEFA and the 12 founding ESL clubs. Although the same source says...

    European breakaway league

    Is quite funny seeing Sky and BT pundits, along with the owners of the remaining PL clubs, being outraged at the idea of money ruining the game. How anyone at Sky can turn round and say, with a straight face, think of the fans is beyond me. They don't give a seconds though to causing fans all...

    We've only managed 20K average in our first two seasons at the Ricoh didn't we? Would love to think that we'd hit that again this season but after years of being told we're losing fans due to the owners actions it may be overly optimistic.

    I think if we can get out of it we will. But I don't think this article really tells us much, more Telegraph guess work.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The acceptance of lies is how we've ended up in a mess. The lies have got bigger and bigger and nobody has batted an eyelid. We literally had Gove on TV telling everyone we'd had enough of experts!

    European breakaway league

    I don't see how its not possible. Its a clear breach of the rules. The Times reported that Richard Masters (PL chief exec) has written to the clubs involved reminding them of that and that the ESL will not be sanctioned and therefore they would effectively be quitting the PL. The question of...

    European breakaway league

    This keeps being said but what does it actually mean on a practical level. Its not like the Premier League, Serie A, Champions League etc aren't sold to those countries. What is going to make the rights to an ESL so much more valuable? Not to mention the plan seems to be not to add more fans, or...

    European breakaway league

    This is just a rambling nonsense. TV deals are going down because of two things IMO, over-saturation of the market and expansion of tournaments like the Champions League (to please the very same clubs now saying they are leaving) resulting in more meaningless games. The solution isn't to throw...
