estonpidge 1,442 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just read this piece on the beeb, what are peoples thoughts? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54502459 Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Nothing more than an attempted power grab by the top 6. If it goes through it will kill my interest in football entirely. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,384 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Shameful power grab. That rodent Rick Parry backing it aswell. Can't imagine why💷💷💷 1 Link to post Share on other sites
oldman 155 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just why should a few billionaires be allowed to control our game. This is the inevitable consequence of the formation of the Premier League. Unless it is stopped now, we will see a US style franchise system within a few years whereby there will be no promotion and relegation, and clubs like ourselves effectively frozen out of top class football.

estonpidge 1,442 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 as soon as i saw Parry & Liverpool it makes you think he's still their lapdog 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Dangerous to every club apart from the top 6 in my opinion. I think the PL may as well have come out and said they were scraping Promotion and Relegation, which I think is their ultimate aim. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The scheme is being vaunted as a way to lessen the financial gap between the top flight and the championship, I think EFL clubs will vote for it out of desperation. Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 for the other 14 premiership clubs it would be like the turkeys voting for Christmas Link to post Share on other sites

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Apparently Gibbo is backing the idea. Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,442 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 But with all the 'power' resting with the sides in the current top 6 I can't imagine it being anything other than self serving. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,394 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Very disappointed with Gibson for backing this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 I believe the Leagues need reform and the wealth a little more widely distributed, but who's to say they won't just renege on the agreement once they get the first opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites

He’s probably had enough of ploughing millions into the club every season. I don’t blame him to be honest, this way the club gets a lot more money from the Premier league. We are never going to break into the top 6 of the prem, so the new deal can only affect us in a positive way. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
