That's why they had to change it from charity - not enough did!scrap the Community shield? Don't all profits go to charity (hence its previous name).
EFL rules means it needs to be approved by a majority of clubs AND a majority of Championship clubs.The big clubs know what they are doing - force their through now of all times knowing EFL clubs and the FA are skint.
Should be rejected outright, but then again if the vote went to all 92 clubs and you are a middling L2 club who is never going to ever hope to reach the PL what have you got to lose if it guarantees the future of your club.
Not sure what to make of this.
On the one hand sooner or later the Prem were going to reduce teams for increased Champions League and likewise I could well foresee the Championship leaving the EFL as so many big clubs fall from grace. Self interest as always.
On the good side I read parachute payments would end. Personally wouldn’t mind an end to the efl cup either - could make the FA Cup special again?
That said even less chance of us getting back to the top flight although the longer we’ve been gone the less I’ve missed it. Championship is a decent product - teams well matched and competitive.
Even if a billionaire turned up the big six could just stop them buying us.I’m very sure what to make of it.
Currently 14 votes needed from 20 to pass any kind of change or rule. This would mean only 6 from 18 needed, and Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea & Man City setting themselves up as the “elite” group of clubs.
Those 6 teams thus run English football in its entirety, and within a couple of years you have individual PPV tickets for those 6, with a European League replacing the Premier League as the main competition.
It’s probably inevitable but another little shift towards football ‘as we knew it’ ceasing to exist, and unless some billionaire swoops in even less chance of us ever being able to get back near the top.
Even if a billionaire turned up the big six could just stop them buying us.
Premier League not impressed -
Not sure how they reconcile this tbh.
Like I said earlier let the “big” six have their way, cut them adrift, no FA Cup, no League Cup, let them scrap the Community Sheild, why ? do our own tv deal, tell Sky to do one. It would have Government backing and more I’m certain fan backing and while we are at it get rid of Rick Parry long overdue imo, anyone who remotely sees this as progress for our football future is no use.
