Liverpool and Man Utd in secret

[atypical_boro]

I think that while the domestic landscape would be changed, it would level the playing field for 85 or 86 clubs. Let's restructure and start again, I genuinely believe we would still have the biggest league in Europe outside of the new European league so would still be appealing to broadcasters and sponsors. However, I think without the big 6 or 7 clubs we would see a much better league for those that are left.

TBF, there is a real danger that even if the 'big 7' clubs from England left, a new big 7 would develop eventually. It would take a few years and it might be that those few years are great, but its hard to see how it wouldn't happen.

I would welcome it on a strict 'no returns' basis. Brexit means Brexit!

I thought the Big Picture was a once in a generation chance to take control. "They lost; get over it"

They can go for me provided they no longer participate in PL/EFL system, FA Cup and League cup, other European competitions (a proper European cup as was (champions only), UEFA Cup as was and reinstate cup winners cup) and their players cannot play for their national teams.

and I hope they wither.

This is FIFA-led. Not Liverpool and Man U.

FIFA not UEFA?

By greater sharing of monies generated throughout the whole league structure? Salary caps? And so on.

 

[atypical_boro]

B greater sharing of monies generated throughout the whole league structure?

I suppose it depends on what other measures are in place. I wouldn't be against abolition of transfer fees, and a salary cap.

FIFA not UEFA?

UEFA have no involvement in this. It's FIFA and American financiers.

Wow. Strange.

That is interesting - Middlesbrough Supporters Forum have a letter signed by the head of UEFA that he would not support a European Super League - that was last year.
So FIFA now try and take this on. It could end very horribly for them.

Remember when I said foreign owners targeting scrapping relegation - this is exactly what I meant.

G14 power house with legacy sides

Well if they can compete in both, they will have bigger and even better squads creaming off the best players hindering other teams in the PL who will suffer even more. This will give them an even bigger stranglehold on the top of the PL.

The Premier League needs a series of slogans around the ‘kick it out‘ theme

1. Kick out racism
2. Kick out greed
3. Kick out inequality
4. Kick out Liverpool
5. Kick out Man Utd
6. Kick out (insert name here)

 

[MFP]

Wow. Strange.

Indeed. Could result in a huge power struggle between the two if UEFA don't get on board and feel it undermines the CL.
UEFA already had reservations about FIFA's restructuring of the Confederations Cup and replacing it with an expanded Club World Cup.

I'll drop them off near the Eiffel Tower if they want. F**k them.

 

[McBrid]

Sick of hearing about the *****. Hope they both **** off.

 

[ticker_tape]

Had to happen sooner or later, be interesting to see if generates the same interest over time.

 

[Randy]

And?
Let them go.
Citeh, Arsenal, Spurs and anyone else can go too.
