Some fan base on other continents started watching English football cause they had players they related too. Nothing to do with the name of the club. The idea spurs is why you get a big tv deal is hilariously wrong. I'm sure the TV deal would get worse since you lose out of some good players at Man City and what not, but I think you underestimate the global appeal of English football. Secondly that would change with time. You adapt and overcome. The dumbest thing you can do is to pretend you're a financial slave to these clubs. Then you might as well call it a night and asphalt all stadiums in the UK. Brilliant post. The players at the franchise clubs will be jumping ship ASAP to get back into the mainstream and international contention. They will rapidly fade, becoming monuments to hubris and greed while older, more traditional clubs replace them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pains me to say it - but Barcelona V Man United gives you that. Newcastle v Brighton doesn't. I could be wrong but I thought the TV money from CL was bigger than that from the PL ?

Clash of the Titans gets boring though, was a time when was about 5 Clasicos in a month and the big games get boring after seeing it more than twice . Barcelona still need a Getafe or Levante to put 7 past on the odd occasion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All clubs must realise they can't choose between what is now and something else. None of the alternatives might be what they want, but only one means slow death. Alternative A: Being a feeder club in an uninteresting league where they only exist. Over time their income will drop due to a more second rate perception of the league meaning less TV money. And they will loose support, as nobody will sped their money following a club that has no reak purpose except merely existing. Alternative B: Take it on the chin. Accept that these six clubs leaving means less revenue. But it will create a more interesting league and long term other clubs can build their fanbase and replace the clubs that has left. Man City built their brand in a decade. And I'm sure other clubs can do the same as well. Choosing a compromise isn't going to do it. They need to kick these clubs out. They simply have gone too far this time, and there is no way back. This is a decisive moment and the outcome will decide the future of football. The breakaway clubs have won every league tilte since 1992. Except when Leicester won. They simply can't have more money, power or influence. There is no room for further compromise. Giving them more now in a compromise means waiving a piece of paper and proclaiming peace in our time. It just can't be allowed to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It all depends on the players. Messi plays for Barcelona super League wins. Messi plays for Aston Villa super League loses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough not bored punters to keep the big TV audiences rolling in. Alien as it maybe to you and I . The gigantic clubs sweeping all before them year after year is more marketable than a competition where the victories are spread around. Too many clubs winning things isn't the desired narrative.

MaVilla Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 news reporting that the scummy 6 have all the lawyers lined up and are "very confident" that they cant be thrown out of the CL or PL etc. I hope that isnt the case......they need to be treated like pariahs.

Villaphan04 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 for me the thing that is going to be extremely unfair is that the players and managers will be the ones facing the brunt of the firestorm this caused. Up until the end of the season, all of the attention and interview questions will be asked at every opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The nerve of it. Well, Aston Villa have 1 Super League Championships then, still one more than Spurs, Arsenal and Man City. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
