What do we make to this then?

Comes across very much like the "big clubs" are looking to exploit the pandemic and desperation of lower league teams with cash now in exchange for complete control of the game.....

Haven't read it yet, but my gut says it's going to be a cynical plan to make the rich richer and give the poorer clubs even less of a chance to succeed than when we won the league, all in the guise of 'mAkInG tHiNgS fAiReR'.

 

I'll come back to confirm my thoughts after I've read it...

How about bo**ocks. 

 

6 votes needed to basically pass any changes, which means the big 6 clubs can do as they wish.

 

Riding off the back of "Oh we'll save the league system, look how many clubs support us". 

 

Utter cretins.

Here’s the proposals for people who don’t have access to the article 

 

The proposals include:

  • £250 million immediately to the EFL to compensate its clubs for lost matchday revenue, deducted from future television revenue earnings and financed by a loan taken out by the Premier League
  • Special status for the nine longest serving clubs – and the vote of only six of those “long-term shareholders” required to make major changes, including amending rules and regulations, agreeing contracts, removal of the chief executive, and a wide-ranging veto including on club ownership
  • Premier League to go to 18 clubs from 20
  • £100 million one-off gift to the FA to cover its coronavirus losses, the non-league game, the women’s game, the grassroots
  • 8.5 per cent of annual net Premier League revenue to go on operating costs and “good causes” including the FA
  • From the remainder, 25 per cent of all combined Premier League and Football League revenues to go to the EFL clubs
  • Six per cent of Premier League gross revenues to pay for stadium improvements across the top four divisions, calculated at £100 per seat
  • New rules for the distribution of Premier League television income, overseas and domestic, including proposals that base one portion on performance over three years in the league
  • The abolition of the League Cup and the Community Shield
  • 24 clubs each in the Championship, League One and League Two reducing the professional game overall from 92 clubs to 90
  • A women's professional league independent of the Premier League or the FA
  • Two sides automatically relegated from the Premier League every season and the top two Championship teams promoted. The 16th place Premier League club in a play-off tournament with the Championship’s third, fourth and fifth placed teams.
  • Financial fair play regulations in line with Uefa, and full access for Premier League executive to club accounts
  • A fan charter including capping of away tickets at £20, away travel subsidised, a focus on a return to safe standing, a minimum away allocation of eight per cent capacity
  • Later Premier League start in August to give greater scope for pre-season friendlies, and requirement for all clubs to compete once every five years in a summer Premier League tournament
  • Huge changes to loan system allowing clubs to have 15 players out on loan domestically at any one time and up to four at a single club in England

After reading it again....   It's made me really fuching angry. 

 

6 clubs with the power to veto any takeover bid of a new club? 

 

The ability to pap out 15 players on loan giving them even more ability to stockpile talent? 

 

6 teams with the ability to control investment, advertising, rules and even place who they want in power? 

 

In exchange for what? 

 

£2.7m per team each year? (With no parachute payments to relegated teams)....

 

Utter Cockwombles!

What a shit list.

 

Basically pretending to care about lower league sides so they can control the league more. Who gives these clubs the right.

 

As for "special status for nine longest serving clubs" lol Half of those clubs have won the top flight less times than third tier side Sunderland.

big six and Everton, Villa, ??

 

it’s just a protection racket dressed up as a rescue plan ! 
 

Southampton. Its just a carrot to try and get more support. I imagine they'll extend it to palace and us if we support too.

 

This stinks and is just blind opportunism.

I see it as "longest serving PL clubs" (the "PL" as in the division formed in 1992) so Villa wouldn't count because they got relegated? 

 

Joke though. Basically those clubs can do what they want.

Clubs with a "longer continual stay" in the Premier League than us...

 

Liverpool

Arsenal

Chelsea

Manchester United

Manchester City

Everton

Tottenham

Southampton

Crystal Palace

West Ham

 

Just so we're clear, these plans would exclude the 2015/16 Premier League Champions from any decision making, in favour of teams that haven't won it for:

 

8 years (Man Utd),

16 years (Arsenal),

have only just won it after 28 years of the completion (Liverpool)

 

and a bunch of clubs who have never won it -

Spurs (finished 2nd once),

Everton (finished 4th in 2004),

Southampton (6th ),

West Ham (7th),

Palace (10th).

 

Just like the 2015/16 Premier League Champions receiving the 5th highest prize money that season, these rules are designed to profit the traditionally rich and successful and exclude every club that dares to defy the odds.

 

They can **** off.

Surly Newcastle and West Ham would have more than Man City?

At a guess

Man Utd

Liverpool 

Everton

Arsenal 

Spurs

Chelsea

Aston Villa

Newcastle 

West Ham

and I’m guessing as they’ve randomly chosen 9 teams to control everything Man City are 9th.
