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.

Go through the football league and you'll find clubs like Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday who have won more league titles than most of those sides. Well, in the case of Southampton/Palace/West Ham they have never won it!

I was just thinking, after the post I did just above yours - what if they gave decision making to the only clubs to have won the Premier League?

 

Blackburn would have more of a say than Spurs, which would be brilliant. 

 

And considerably ****ing fairer than these proposals.

Blackburn have won the top flight more than Spurs anyway. Blackburn won the league title twice before the "Premier League" and Spurs have only won it twice in their entire history.

 

So even if you take "the Premier League" part out of it, Blackburn would still have more of a say than Spurs.

I wouldn't want to be part of an elite that dictates how the league should be run without the say of all the teams in it just because we've won it- 20 teams having an equal say is pivotal to the league's integrity.

 

It's about the top teams getting more power and sod the rest- no thanks. They want to reduce teams to increase revenue from pre-season games- how ****ed up is that?

Absolute joke and as others have said the proposals are exploiting the need for finance at lower levels now for total and utter control of OUR game.

 

Fook United, fook Liverpool, fook the PL for their complicity in facilitating the "big boys" and fook the greedy, selfish, money grabbing bastards responsible for devising these plans.

The proposal about TV income being distributed based on Premier League performance over 3 seasons absolutely stinks.  It's designed to prevent the smaller prem teams from building on the success of one season whilst compensating the big clubs for underperforming.  Absolutely disgusting.

I think I am doing to dispense with my interest in football. This is the future of it. They are going to use the current economic crisis to cement their total control over the game and eliminate any prospect of smaller teams competing with them.

Be thankful you got to watch our club win the league when it was still a competition, and find new hobbies I reckon.

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..... 

 

100000% this. 

 

This is ****ing terrifying, ****ing horrifying and we should all be ****ing outraged. 

 

Exploiting the situation is exactly what they're doing, they're going to use the desperation of clubs struggling through financial crisis as a result of a global pandemic that's killing hundreds of thousands in order to further cement their status as the already super rich, untouchable clubs at the top of the pile.

Spot on. We lose our power and right to an equal vote, any potential takeover can be vetoed and the threat of relegation increases.

 

A hideous idea.

To get this through atm would need a majority of all the clubs and I can't see that happening. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Apart from the clubs 4th and 5th from bottom obviously being against this for the "lesser" clubs it'd mean losing 2 home games  and a possible league Cup run, ie less money. 

 

What it is, I suspect is a negotiating stance. Ask for something ridiculous and hope they meet you half way.

The same basis as FFP only even more positive for the biggest clubs ...... it’s business ......and I can’t see how you stop it because like most things, it will eventually happen as people can be ‘encouraged’ to vote the way they need to .....
