The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

They need 15 founding clubs but currently have 12 with clubs supposedly turning them down left, right and centre.

Could this be where it all falls down?

As a matter of interest this SL is supposed to comprise 20 clubs of whom 15 are "Founding Members" and 5 qualifying somehow. At the moment there are only 12 founding members so where do the other 3 come from given that PSG and BM aren't (currently) interested?

Put on hold is my guess. Allowing PSG, Bayern and Dortmund time to complete their contortions.

"As in American sports, referees will have a microphone so they'll explain their decisions to the public in a totally transparent way and there will be an alternative VAR".

I have been extremely negative on this but if this said No Var they’d have my attention lol

It will never get that far.

The Premier league will have a meeting with Sky and BT for the next TV rights deal that starts in 2021 and they will say "We are replacing City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool with Norwich, Watford, Swansea, Brentford, Barnsley and Bournemouth, how many billions can we get per year?"

And sky will say, that sounds like the championship, in fact about 3/4s of the "new Premier league" have been in the championship under the current rights deal. and we pay £120m per year for the championship so it will be in that ball park."

And then the clubs will say, "gee that's a lot less than £3Bn a year isn't it? I'll go bankrupt if that happens"

And then they'll vote to keep the big 6.

Since when was 6 three quarters of 20?

Them and MalG.



I think there is some consensus that its already done and dusted. The owners are on the other side of the world oblivious to the noise and they’ll just ride it out.

Yeah you could be right about it being done.

Still I think the Yank owners are operating under North American sports thinking which is basically "who cares what the fans think". I've seen it all my life from the NFL, MLB and NHL. What I've learned about European Football following the PL these last 10 years is that the fans in footy have a lot more power and influence than what the owners are used to dealing with over here on this side of the pond.

Hopefully everyone stays vocal and firm and the whole miserable enterprise dies out this week.

The "new Premier League" refers to the Premier League without the big 6, not the 6 clubs that would be new to the Premier League.

So they're not just greedy, they're also spineless?

That hurts, doesn't it?

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Looking at the opinions of most fan bases this competition will be played in front of half empty stadiums at best.
Absolutely ridiculous that we have gone along with this ,with clubs who have constantly tried to shaft us,but unfortunately money talks.
Has this undone a lot of the work the club has done to improve East Manchester?

I still think there's a small chance this can die.

It's most likely full steam ahead... but maybe it hits a brick wall.

Hopefully, we'd still look like absolute mugs though even if it all falls through.
