The_Steve Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The Super League proposals include: - The 15 founder clubs sharing an initial 3.5billion (£3.1billion) euro “infrastructure grant” ranging from £310million to £89million per club which can be spent on stadiums, training facilities or “to replace lost stadium-related revenues due to Covid-19”. - The format would see two groups of 10 clubs who play home and away, with the top four from each group going through to two-legged quarter-finals, semi-finals and a one-legged final. - Matches would be midweek and clubs would still play in domestic leagues - Clubs would have rights to show four matches a season on their own the digital platforms across the world - Income from TV and sponsorship would favour the founding clubs: 32.5% of the pot would be shared equally between the 15 clubs, and another 32.5% between all Super League clubs including the five qualifiers - 20% of the pot would be merit money “distributed in the same manner as the current English Premier League merit-based system” according to where clubs finish in the competition or group if they don’t make the knock-out stage - The remaining 15% would get a “commercial share based on club awareness” - A cap of 55% of revenues permitted to be spent on salaries and transfers (net) - A ‘Financial Sustainability Group’ would monitor clubs’ spending ————— Just kick them out of the PL. This super league is a terrible idea. Just makes the elite more elite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post theboyangel Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 Totally let them go if they want to but they have to sever all ties with the Premier League and The FA. There’s no way they should be allowed to compete in both domestic league and a ring fenced money making exercise. if it goes wrong and they wish to come back to the Premier League and Football Association football in England then they have to start at the bottom and work upwards. I’d also like to prevent any home grown players who play in the breakaway league from representing England. Whilst some players may not care about International football, others do. It’s all about TV revenue and wanting their own deals.. bollocks to them 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The arrogance of the ‘Big 6’ here is grotesque. Would be so much better off without them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait and see, these things have a habit of falling apart 24-48 hours after the announcement (then followed quietly by something horrible they wouldn't want to announce publicly). We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tuesday is the vote for the expanded Champions League, leaking it now might mean support is quite low for it to pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 So in effect Leicester could win the league again, spurs get relegated and spurs still get to play in this cash grab scheme and Leicester don't. All of these clubs should now be banned, fined etc etc and the leagues they play in should start making plans for life without them. Won't happen as they have probably already been bribed. Absolute w4nkers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wouldn’t it be refreshing to have a United front by both domestic authorities with a stark warning to those wishing to participate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
