Sorry if a windass... https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ttached?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Usual shitty strings attached so that lower leagues effectively act as feeder clubs/practice games. Would be good to get some money spent on 'facilities' though. Wealth distribution percentages means we need to get back into the Championship as soon as possible (new TV deal, this financial package) otherwise we run the risk of becoming a perennial lower league club rather than an ambitious one.
I make it £5m per club or £1.67m per year over 3 years. Premier League revenue in 22/23 expected to be nearly £6bn.
I hope the EFL tell em to get fooked, but I know they won't, they/clubs will bend over and be shafted by the wads of cash. Can the EFL insist on a fairer distribution?
Many a true word spoken in jest At least if they want more games a fast-track to the final would be counter-productive
Said it all along. First they infiltrate our Trophy, then they force B teams into our League. Door's open now, too late to stop it. And people will still keep going to these fake matches.
if they joined 2 cup leagues together top 2 qualify last 16 play knock out stages i think would work.
They should set a league up like the efl cup competition. Prem u21 or B teams - with championship/efl clubs, who have to play 5 first team squad members. Prem club pays 50% of others costs. No idea if it would work but it leaves the efl leagues as they are.
That’s a good idea to work on but as Shy Talk posted, It’s likely to be part of the wedge to drive Prem B teams into the EFL
Championship clubs £5m+ per year (21 clubs if parachute clubs not included) League 1 £750k per year League 2 £500k per year. Bear in mind, not spread evenly over those 3yrs. Those figures alone should be vetoed by league 1 and 2 clubs. Other food for thought, Estimated, according to one report. Man city made £500k per day £14m+ per month. £171m last season, From Premier league tv rights alone.
The time should be coming when we have to ask ourselves how much we, as fans of ordinary clubs across the country and owners of said clubs, want to continue hanging on to the coat tails of the big clubs. It's no longer possible to aspire to anything. The big six are just creating more and more barriers to competition. Tell them we're not interested. Restructure the entire pay structure of footballers in the EFL. Cut ties with the Premier League entirely. Cancel promotion and relegation to and from the Prem. Declare the current Championship to be the top league of English football. Offer any clubs currently in the PL membership of the new Football League under the new rules and let the rest f**k off. No doubt all the current Prem teams would refuse but they'd very quickly find themselves cut adrift by the top clubs when the European Super League or a world league inevitably happens. The rest of us could go back to football where the element of competition is restored. The hope that just occasionally with a good crop of players and a good manager your team can prosper. Admission prices would become reasonable. Shirts would not cost a fortune. The game was run for the benefit and convenience of fans. Etc, etc. I know it will never happen but I can dream. Mind you the European league will definitely happen so we'll see which way the cookie crumbles then.
If it does those clubs that join it will be expelled from the Premier league. (The crafty ******** want a foot in both stables) They will play 15 games in the new format of the champions league for 2024/25 if the final is reached. 4 more teams involved. 4 groups of 9, instead of 8 groups of 4. (Already the super league in another guise but not a breakaway). Squad sizes will be the excuse they can compete and Premier league games will be 2nd thoughts. Playing the best 11. wont happen as much. Good riddance, sooner the better. Unless fan power wins again. Format 2024/25 https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/37628341/champions-league-revamp-how-competition-work
