United and Liverpool EFL project - proposal rejected

[cleavers]

What the fuck were Liverpool and United doing going so public, at this time & with those stings attached. Fucking madness!!

They didn't, it was leaked, and Parry was nearly crying about that yesterday, they didn't want it in the open yet as the carve up wasn't complete.

thinking about the 25% to good causes, would one of those good causes be updating old stadium for "historic reasons", the whole thing is a sham, and hopefully these american cunts who have devised the whole thing will now feel the full wraith of every football supporter, its all bollocks ,not one thing is good about it, every single proposal can be twisted to benefit those two slimy fuck everyone clubs, and anybody who thinks its a good idea needs fucking off as well
i agree that the lower leagues need help, but not in a form of a fucking loan, see how well that worked for poorer nations down the years, the premier league teams earn vast fucking fortunes, most are pissed up the wall, surely there is a way to filter more money downwards ,without having to benefit the rich even more, it is a football family and every member of that family needs a say in the future, not some don't give a fuck as long as i make more money yank cunts.

It sounds like none of the money being given to the EFL will come out of United/Liverpool's pockets, but they will benefit from plenty financially. Liverpool just happen to qualify for payments to help them expand their ground. Wouldn't surprise me to find out they could claim back some more for that "new stadium" that helped them pass FFP.

Tottenham 'due £125m rebate' for new stadium under Project Big Picture proposals

Liverpool, Man City and Brighton would also be able to apply for reimbursements for work on their respective grounds, while Everton could have up to half of their new stadium paid off

Let me start of by saying, I like Manchester City, the upheaval against the norm is a goods thing, at least for the most part.

This whole Project Big Picture is just bizarre.
Yes, the "big 6" have the most fans. Ok, that is true. No arguments.
The reason the PL is a success is because of its fight, its drama, its non closed unpredictable nature.

If the big 6 want this closed shop, then go to 18 teams, and let your good selves, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham (wtf) all play in this new shiny high powered league against your own B teams and youth teams.

Fans will be crying for rainy nights in Stoke inside a year.

I would rather be back in the 3rd tier than be a part of this shit show. It’s a disgrace we are being dragged into it, these 2 & their ilk have been trying to destroy our club with their dirty tricks for years.

This proposal by the two biggest shithouse clubs in the history of English football will, despite a few sweeteners and crumbs from the table, end the aspirations of many clubs.

Swansea (twice), Wigan, Wimbledon and Bournemouth all rose from the lower depths of the 4th tier or even non-league to the Premier League or old 1st Division in a remakably short time.

Likewise clubs that fall on hard times and sink down the divisions will find it extremely difficult to fight their way back if the PL becomes the inevitable closed shop under this proposal.

Of the current PL clubs City, Villa, Leicester, Leeds, Southampton, Palace and West Brom have all been down to the 3rd tier while Wolves, Burnley, Sheffield United, Brighton and Fulham all sank to the 4th tier. That's 12 out of the current 20 PL clubs that fell from grace big time but managed to fight their way back.

I see the BBC are running a story saying that EFL clubs could disappear in 5-6 weeks without support. The timing is either coincidental or they are paving the way for this idea or similar to come to fruition.

These actions by the rags & dippers is the sort of thing we have had to put up with for years. Pure arrogance. They have been plotting this for 3 years & now try to sell it as a help to combat Covid. Lies lies & lies. Rags need to update their dump of a ground & Glazers won’t pay. So guess what - get PL to “ help” football leagues financially (not out of their pockets of course) & then get a huge subsidy to improve their ground.

grabbing bastards

That’s welcome news, someone privy to the information mustn’t have been happy and wanted to make them look bad!

It's actually 'some EFL clubs' despite their headline and this is according to the Leyton Orient chairman. And he's probably not wrong.

All should be sharply reminded of that by their fan base, without who, they most likely wouldn't have come back.

It's probably the truth - and one reason why this proposal is coming out now - screwing them while they're desperate.

There was a quote from someone in either the govt/PL saying that they didn't think the EFL were taking the negotiations about support seriously. If Parry had this up his sleeve, that's a huge conflict of interest.

I'd be happy if the PL teams voted through the EFL support package and changes to payments, without any of the power grab.
