Much as I'd like to see the greedy 6 thrown out of the PL I suspect the reason they got Spurs in was to ensure the opposing clubs can't get 75% in any vote to take action against them
Don't know all the PL rules but in businesses big changes normally need more than 75% in favour to succeed
With the evil JP Morgan financing it you can be sure their amoral lawyers would have covered all the angles to protect the owners who are forcing this through
That's interestingNope 2/3 majority needed so 14 clubs
Here’s a mental idea. If these clubs want more money why don’t they try hoovering up less talent and paying less ridiculous wages? It ain’t fucking Crystal Palace inflating wages to the point where Michael Doyle earns £300k/week.
I suspect they want auto qualification to the champions 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 the Champions League, which generates revenues of nearly 3 billion Euros a season, is a commercial failure.
What I can't find is what they actually want the changes to the Champions League to be. The revenue split has already been changed in favour of the 'big' clubs, one of those clubs knocked out in an earlier round can earn more than the winners, and more games were added and even more being proposed to be added currently, to satisfy these clubs.
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 more meaningless games onto the market!
Its not rocket science, if big clubs are losing money stop spending so much! That would actually benefit the whole football pyramid. How much better would it be for us if clubs who had been in the PL weren't spending such ridiculous amounts and didn't have millions in parachute payments? And the other clubs in the Championship weren't happily losing tens of millions a season in the hope of reaching the promised land?
Also how do you complain about clubs losing money while owners are extracting eye watering amounts?
As for saying that players won't be banned from national teams and that teams can't be thrown out of domestic competitions how will that work exactly? The England team is the responsibly of the FA and the competitions the responsibly of FIFA & UEFA. If certain players are suspended they can't play. Even if they aren't suspended the FA can just instruct the manager not to select players from certain teams.
Similarly with the domestic leagues. There are rules that govern who can play in them. Or is he suggesting a free for all and Sepalla can just announce we're now a Premier League club and nobody can do anything about it?
If he thinks he can fall back on EU law he needs someone to tell him the English clubs are based in a country that's no longer in the EU.
"If no Super League football will die by 2024" this is the most bonkers statement of all. Even if every club in the Premier League and EFL went bust tomorrow phoenix clubs would emerge and a new league would be formed.
What exactly is determined in a player's contract BD,is there anything likely in those problematic?Much as I'd like to see the greedy 6 thrown out of the PL I suspect the reason they got Spurs in was to ensure the opposing clubs can't get 75% in any vote to take action against them

Haven't they already got that?They want a Euro coefficient to rescue teams who have a dodgy season, a bit like how relegation works in some South American leagues
Qualification for the UEFA Champions League will continue to be open and earned through a team’s performance in domestic competitions.
One of the additional places will go to the club ranked third in the championship of the association in fifth position in the UEFA national association ranking. Another will be awarded to a domestic champion by extending from four to five the number of clubs qualifying via the so-called “Champions Path”.
The final two places will go to the clubs with the highest club coefficient over the last five years that have not qualified for the Champions League group stage but have qualified either for the Champions League qualification phase, the Europa League or the Europa Conference League.
Coventry City joins the wider footballing world in condemning the plans for a so-called ‘European Super League’.
The plans are divisive and threaten the very fabric of the sport in this country.
The competitive nature of the league structure and the ability for Clubs to earn their right to play in competitions is integral to football in this country, and what makes it so exciting and compelling for all of us who care about the sport. The proposed ‘Super League’ threatens that structure and the importance those Clubs play in their communities.
These plans are driven solely by the greed of the Clubs involved and for their own financial benefit, and have tarnished the reputation of the game.
Especially at a time when supporters are not able to attend games, this is a kick in the teeth for fans of those Clubs, all football supporters and the wider football family.
We support the efforts being made by fans, the EFL, the FA, the Government, other organisations and individuals in opposing these plans.
Contracts will often have appearance fees to start or come on in Champions League or Europa League gamesWhat exactly is determined in a player's contract BD,is there anything likely in those problematic?
Don't clubs need to vote 75% in favour to kick them out of the Premier League?The only solution if it goes ahead is too kick them out of every other competition
Here’s a mental idea. If these clubs want more money why don’t they try hoovering up less talent and paying less ridiculous wages? It ain’t fucking Crystal Palace inflating wages to the point where Michael Doyle earns £300k/week.
Yeah, ffp is not a solution, it's a mechanism to keep the richest at the top and squash competition.FFP just makes it harder for emerging clubs

Spoken like a true marxist
Imagine after 4 or 5 matches , some teams will already have nothing to play for as the better clubs push on ...knowing there is no relegation etc how fucking boring matches will be for both fans and players ?

I've said a few times in the Premier league thread , the league is not as good as it used to be ..Exactly.
Not sure where this notion that these 'elite' clubs put on a good spectacle has come from either...

It would actually be a BETTER spectacle without these super teams as matches would have more flow ...initially ofcourse that is as eventually you'd end up with new teams that were regarded as elite in the league
Is it the case they would need a vote to change the rules where this is clubs breaking existing rules?Don't clubs need to vote 75% in favour to kick them out of the Premier League?
Isn't six clubs just the amount needed to prevent a 75% vote?

At least one of the ‘big six’ English clubs is considering whether to withdraw from the new Super League after being taken aback by the volume of opposition, including from their own fans.
Although Super League insiders insist that all 12 are committed to the project, The Times understands that at least one English club is having emergency internal discussions on the best way forward, with some of the executives deeply concerned about alienating their fans.
