Exactly. Your final point gets to the heart of the matter.
Ever since the power-grab that was the creation of the Premier League there has been a steady accretion of power and finance by three clubs in particular (United, Liverpool and Arsenal) after two of the original ‘Big 5’ (Everton and Spurs) fell by the wayside.
This set of proposals is just an extension of the collective desire of these three clubs to cement their position at the top of English football, with one eye on future developments such as pan-European leagues and cups etc.
’Devil take the hindmost’ was the attitude of the ‘Big 5’ when they forced through the Premier League structure. What makes this move more cynical than that was at the time, is that they have the gall to dress this up as ‘saving the game’ and Covid-19 threatened clubs.
As others have said, I truly hope that City are not supportive of the disgraceful people behind this, especially those who have been attempting to undermine us for more than 10 years now.
I had a look at ‘Red Cafe’ and, to their credit, many United supporters are disgusted with this set of proposals. One guy called ‘Leroy The Red’ is worth a read . He writes ‘Absolutely vile by United and Liverpool to be honest. It’s very easy to see through this. So let‘s go through this..’ then he picks it apart, line by line, concluding as you do that it’s all about the voting ‘rights‘ of the ‘top clubs’..
These people at United and Liverpool have no shame and, again, I hope our club tells them where to shove their ideas. And then works with the rest of football to find a way forward for each and every club that doesn’t favour selfish twunts like the Red Filth at either end of the East Lancs..
