The selling point of PL is that it is the most competitive League because mid & lower table sides get enough money to be relatively competitive. Start to reduce that level of competition and they end up with a Bundesliga,lá liga situation where income is heavily weighted to just 2 or 3 clubs and...

Comes as no surprise. It shows that (as suspected) the whole thing was a self-serving coup from a handful of greedy clubs. Don't think the other members of the big 6 had actually worked out how big an advantage Utd and Liverpool would have on the individually sold games. Was always obvious that...

https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/54570997 yet another revamp. seems a large red ball program (14 games) with all the white ball cricket planned as well

Bet it's not abandoned -just back behind closed doors until they sniff another opportunity

Does piss me off when these PL execs say the EFL already get 400m a year from Premier League. Not explaining that 250m of that actually goes to a small number of clubs as parachute payments.

Why would anyone trust Utd's owners given their propensity for taking money out of the game and English football?

Gase tearing up another roster. Free agency money they've spent last 2 seasons and still 0-5. . Lawrence better off staying in school another year than getting drafted by the Jets.

That's key. These big 6 (American owners in particular) have been pushing for individual media deals. Stream income probably wouldn't count as TV money so the pot suddenly isn't so big.

Novelty of a European super League would soon wear off. European cup then Champions League consistently messed with as audiences were falling. And these big 6 would no longer be the big fish in the pond in a Euroleague.

coincidence Orient boss lives in Boston and is a friend of JW Henry?

because clubs are over a barrel atm. How attractive would the proposal be if there was no COVID? Been on the offing apparently since 2017 but no appetite for it. How good will it seem when there is a return to normality and there's no way back? It's like us ending up with SISU because there...

Give it until the next TV contract and the big 6 can rewrite how PL Tv revenues are shared amongst PL clubs. Want to guess how that's going to work out.:) Curious about how EFL thinks it can find an equitable way to distribute future PL money amongst league clubs. Plan has many good elements but...

Puts the power in the hand of 6 clubs. Other 3 mentioned are just a token to try and get their support in initial vote. A short hop to getting rid of promotion/relegation - no surprise 2 American owners pushing it. Trying to exploit the financial difficulties caused by COVID. B teams will be...

Not good at all

Zimmer throws that one away. Defense so short on numbers Jefferson having to play downs in there!!. But a brave defensive effort let down by usual odd moments of Cousins sloppiness and Zimmer not taking a simple field goal with 2 minutes to play. O line played better and Mattison growing into...

Testament to Belichick finding the right coaches but also ridiculous record of picking up undrafted players and those released by other teams and turning them into winners.

Joy and curse of most NFL teams is that you'll see good and bad times if you follow long enough. Bills had a great side then bottomed out and now rebuilding to a strong side.

It was clear from the start in one of Ranson's 1st interviews. SISU weren't here for the long-term or because they wanted to get involved in sport. He said their average involvement in a project was in the 3-5 year range and they'd turn it round, take their profit it and move on - new buyer's...

Should play him through. His short college career means he needs to play to get the experience. Shouldn't think Allen's the answer the way he struggled at the Panthers behind a better O line and with more receiving/running options than Redskins seem to have. Must be the history with Rivera...

Maybe these Rugby COVID outbreaks are putting chance of crowds returning back too far for them.
