The "top 6" phrase needs to change, as they aren't the "top 6" anymore. They're the "money 6" at most. 

That's why its "big 6: :p

Lets face it, the fans view will mean fvck all, pundits speaking out is fvck all, managers speaking out will mean fvck all

 

the only way it stops is the players stopping it, no one else matters

I think that's pretty unfair - they're all in a c**t of a position, and the players probably barely know what's going on.

Of course players know what's going on, they've got TVs and radios. That doesn't make it their fault that their clubs have agreed these awful plans but let's not get romantic that players will take an altruistic view of it all. Marcus Bean, giving a players' perspective on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast, said that most players at the Big 6 won't care - it'll mean they don't have to play clogging teams like Burnley and Palace any more and they will get paid even more money.

If there was the chance of promotion to this super league you’d probably get a few clubs going quiet with regards to sporting integrity..

Parish has absolutley destroyed any hope the 14 tomorrow will push for punishment

I expect the players have been advised to keep quiet for now, at our club as well.

That itself is interesting though.

I’m not sure what role player power has in all this. 
 

Players at ESL clubs stand to gain huge salaries in the future. Future ESL players will earn loads. 
 

and Players of non-ESL clubs have no influence to exert

Has LCFC said anything official yet?

Oh no, I don't think for a minute that they will. But it remains pointless attacking them because who they are employed by (and I heard that podcast too).

We'll make our point at the meeting tomorrow.

 

Club doesn't tend to speak publicly on things like this, it didn't when the Big Picture crap was the news.

He will bend over backwards for the big 6 you could see it in his face 

[goody2028]

This all has a feel of when you booted the ball into someone’s garden and had to go and ask for it back knowing they’re going to be absolute pricks about it. 

[lebleu]

Financed by JP Morgan no less who a few months back had to pay out a record multi-billion fine for spoofing markets.

I would  imagine there’s been a few blood vessels burst in the blue half of Liverpool today..

I really really hope you're right. Because even if they want them back, you can't just accept them back as if nothing happened. 

[HighPeakFox]

LOL some of you have already formed a kangaroo court on Steve Parish. I'd aim your fire elsewhere, personally.

Pretty pointless and pathetic if you ask me - wear them for the cameras by all means, but for now at least, everyone below the highest echelon of clubs are entirely innocent.

You mean they kept their gobs shut!

I really don't know what you mean.

Madders might get in the England squad now by default 🙈😂

they will be giving Vardy a call to if they ban the others from international games to

Rodgers to spurs a strong chance if this happens. He won't want to miss out on the top table. 

[Shram]

Could the government refuse to license policing the games for the big 6? They’d have no choice but to f**k off to the desert or Far East as they won’t be able to play here.

Not sure this super league can claim to be the top table with Arsenal and Spurs included but the likes of Bayern and PSG not.

Will be interesting if a manager walks over this though. Klopp going might be a possibility.

He gets paid more than most already. As it stands I don't think anyone will be looking to get involved with this shit show.
