Why don’t the other 14 premier league clubs call their bluff and threaten to break away and form a revised EFL. This would leave the ‘big 6’ in limbo until they manage to convince others to set up some European league which could take sometime.
There would be less future tv revenue but given the top 6 will want an ever increasing share the remaining 14 will still do ok and the existing EFL teams can expect a bigger slice than they do at the moment. With the FA also not being keen they could say that any players no longer with affiliated clubs will not be selected for England - very damaging to the players ‘brand’ and earning potential?

I wonder how many hours Rick Perry wasted discussing the Big Project only for it to be now kicked into touch, why don't the EFL clubs dismiss the clown? As far as the £50 for L1 & L2 clubs, I wonder how far that will go given that there are 46 clubs that's means it only around £1m on average each club, when we alone are losing around £150K a home match,

You can bet the big boys Sunderland, Portsmouth etc will demand a higher proportion.

The £50m is made up of grants and interest free loans so presumably some has to be paid back?
Not massively exciting tbh.

Not Greeks but Yanks. Trump's corporates trying to take over English football? Democratic? Capitalism as it is, when dire times are here. Who would trust these corporate raiders? Rick Parry been planning this for some time with these 2 clubs? When was it first booted? Before the Covid virus? If so, Covid was just the excuse to start this proposal? Isn't it time for the EFL to review its management? How can the hierarchy of the EFL be trusted when these schemes happen without the EFL's knowledge? Simple solution to reduce leagues to 90 clubs from 92; ask these 2 clubs to leave? How can the Government get involved in this? Not their say! If you want a say, put your money where your mouth is. Pump up £100M for starters to the EFL clubs and lower leagues with NO conditions. How many billions has this government given to the Arts during this virus which only a very small elite proportion of this country can afford to enjoy the benefits of on a REGULAR basis! Millions watch football in this country week in, week out! Further protect this game and other national sports like cricket, rugby, etc. from the greed of agents, owners, etc. and their gratification. For the future, EFL fans should show their true feelings to these 2 clubs when they play them! UTG

Seriously. Money continues to corrupt and ruin football. This serves no benefit to football it’s just about money. If I supported one of the clubs that was going to go into it I wouldn’t be happy either. Maybe if we ring fence our leagues and make it so any English teams joining a European super league can’t come back into our league system.

Greedy corporate parasitic lady gardens. How much money do they need for crying out loud? However many billion clearly isn't enough. In the pursuit for more, they'd happily take a dump on all the proud history of the sport in this country.

FA Cup, League Cup, and Champions League.

I think those involved seriously over estimate the attraction of proposed league, what makes our league exiting for fans is the fact you are playing teams you know, have history against ,its relatively easy to get to games home or away, things like inter city/town rivalry and so on , i don't believe you would get the same passion and atmosphere in said league especially for the majority of the teams who would have nothing to play for 1/2 way through season!

But that ship sailed in 1992 when the PL started. It was obvious then that they would get richer because that is why it was set up. The EFL have taken 28 years and counting to decide they are almost irrelevant. But if it becomes a European League then it will all be about world-wide viewers because I’m pretty sure most in this country apart from those involved won’t have any interest in it and wouldn’t subscribe to it. Personally I think the PL are worried about how their league is going at the moment. Interest has waned, fans may have found other things to do and 8 would imagine viewing figures and subscriptions may have dropped. Their product is not that attractive. And if the breakaway happened I’m not sure the PL would become a feasible product without the top 6/7. Then perhaps the rest of football could be re-configured into a better system. The big danger for the top 6/7 is that they won’t do it without the FA and UEFA permission because without them it becomes an illegal league. Players may then not be eligible for England/World Cups etc. Whilst the owners, who are foreign and don’t give a monkey’s for that, the players will. So they will have to be careful how they do it. UTG!

All about the money chap. The only way they can make money is from fans buying tickets/subscribing to Sky etc, not sure your average UK football fan is that interested in Man U playing teams in Europe rather than against Liverpool & Man C etc. Looking at other forums loads of people seem to be now cancelling BT Sport since they increased the subs, as they have no real interest in watching Champions League matches.
