Do you believe fans of the club will truly turn their backs on their team? I don’t, all talk.

Owners of huge football clubs would happily have empty stadiums if they could make enough money from TV revenue ...this is one of the reasons they couldn't give a shit about local supporters and favour the armchair fans , as they are much larger in number for these big clubs .

They must be stupid if they haven't learnt in the last year how much not having fans in the ground diminishes football as a spectacle.

Has anybody told them it's our ball and we're going home yet, I've got another idea about exploding footballs but I'm not sure how i could get on the pitch to light the fuse.

Certain franchise teams haven't done that well have they?
I do. There seems to be a lot of genuine anger.
Not everyone will but the numbers will be significant I reckon.


Thought it was interesting that in a Guardian vox pop, Man Utd fans were against it whilst the here today gone tomorrow after the money runs out Man City fans thought it might be a good idea.

A pretty strong message from the Culture Sec about doing everything they can to stop it. (No, I don't know what they can legally do).

I’m talking more about the money that filters down the leagues to keep struggling league 1 and 2 teams a going concern. And further down to non league and grassroots. There will be less as a result of this. Shouldn’t be about money but it has to be. These super league bellends are purely about keeping it for themselves even more than the premier league. (Despite their little statement yesterday)

I wonder how much will this reduce what filters down?
Obviously the TV rights aren't going to go for as much.
Thats if they do bomb them out of course.
Hopefully the big 6 supporters who say they're going to chuck it get their football fix watching a smaller team.

They'd have them play on the moon for money ..they don't give a fuck what football is like with fans and without

In one of the tweets I saw earlier, some football owners see hardcore local supporters as "legacy fans "

It comes to something when reporters, talk shows etc. who are paid to try to be impartial are, in the vast majority, in agreement and totally against this.

Yeah. Until any media organisation related to the company they work for secures LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE broadcast/radio rights to the ESL. At which point, they'll :love: it and beg us to :love: it too.

Just looking at the Premier League without those six, it actually looks like a decent league! West Ham, Leicester, Everton and Leeds battling it out, throw in the top six of the Championship, I’d back us to make a fist of promotion in what’s left of the Championship as well.

Sod it, I’m in.

You're not wrong but football played in empty stadiums is going to be less sellable surely?

What needs to happen is the 6 clubs are thrown out of the premier league, Spain and Italy to follow suit, then introduce a spending, salary, and stadium administration fee cap, in the domestic leagues, fuck off minimal contact fouls and VAR and we’ll have real football back in no time.

Could be one of the best moves ever for the EFL. In time, the six will just be some NFL franchises that some will tune into, some not, whilst hopefully, we get back to more of a level playing field, with clubs rising to the top off supporters money, not big interests.

What's really p!ssing me off is the media focus on the fact that fans of the Big Six are against it.
Are we to conclude that if they are OK with it all is well? How about asking fans of all the rest of the football pyramid?
This must be fought tooth and nail or the game as we know it is gone.
Expel the clubs and give a 10 year ban. They can apply to rejoin English leagues in 2031.
No bans for players under contract but if they sign new contracts they get life ban from representing England.

Sounds good but the leagues will lose viewership if big 6 go. Even worse foe italy and Spain to lose their big clubs as they are already playing catch up

I would love them to get a slap on the face but I cannot see them being kicked out

I understand how bad for football this is, and it’s another sign of pure greed in the game. It’s a disgrace by people too far removed to care.

The comments about legacy fans and objective to make money regardless of consequences say it all.

It’s the right noises from UEFA/FIFA/PL, but unfortunately I think it’ll be just that - noise. I doubt they’ll follow through with any of the threats and that’s the most disappointing bit. The teams absolutely deserve to be punished, it’s a shame for the players, staff etc, but they can take action if they are that concerned (appreciate it isn’t as straight forward as that). But I fear UEFA will cave, as will the PL, and these teams will come out even better.

But as a fan who isn’t directly impacted, selfishly I’m not that bothered. Let them go, get the right people around the table and restructure how football works.

I actually think this would be more interesting than the current Premier League. Too many of the matches involving the six are pretty boring. A competitive league without them would be more interesting
