Demitri_C Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Also lets remember this - unless your 1st or 2nd the rest of the league is pointless. No relegations or promotions where would the excitement be? Finishing 4th will be no better than 10th. Would get very boring very quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think it’s gamesmanship, look at the timing of it being leaked to the press, on the eve of UEFA confirming the changes to the chumps league - they’re hoping it will twist UEFA into adding more ‘wildcard’ or guaranteed places in the chumps league. My opinion having digested it all anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, S-Platt said: I believe the 20 premier league teams at present have an equal vote. I believe certain clubs wanted more of a say on these votes last year. They needed 14 teams to agree they failed. So all clubs not involved in super league talks can carry a motion to deduct all those clubs points or kick them out. It's pretty simple I expect Purslow to start the ball rolling. Yes - but if they are leaving anyway any votes / resolutions to stop them would be meaningless. I believe that in due course - with some concessions something very similar to today's proposals will happen. It will actually keep happening with football elite effectively becoming exhibition matches in the long term. I just hope football below this money industry survives.

nick76 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs & Arsenal are 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th Juventus 4th i wonder why they want a breakaway league? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 If they do make the announcement, wonder how long it'll be before Uefa and the leagues are willing to take action against the clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they want to stay in the prem but play the super league rather than champions league. Edited April 18, 2021 by S-Platt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Interesting that Man City aren’t signatories to this, only 5 Premier League clubs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be joking but you have a point. Wait another 5 years Liverpool won't be anywhere near it - that's why they want in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 14 other clubs actually have the power to relegate or docks points as they see fit from any of the 5 clubs signed up to the breakaway franchise league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
