... to finish the EFL not to be exactly behind the long term future of smaller clubs they are supposed to represent, knocked me beer over as well !!
A European Super League has long been the ambition of the elite, sorry , richest clubs. The rest of the Premier League clubs would be diminished in viability and status just as the majority of the EFL clubs were when the Premier League was formed. The greed of Man U, Liverpool et al will never be satisfied even after they have cut the rest of the Premier League adrift. This is a leveling down plan, not a levelling up.
Do you really think they'd be invited to a European Super League? There's a reason West Ham oppose this, their supposed increased power is a lie, they actually have more power to influence things under the current system because they can team up with other mid-table clubs to block things the big clubs want. Under this new system they'd be powerless to stop anything.Not sure I agree.
Let them **** off to an ESL and the rest of us can have a decent domestic league properly run and not ruined by their obscene amounts of money.
There aren’t actually that many european games that truly excite and their supporters will quickly become bored with the lack of domestic rivalry.
That would really leave the ‘special arrangement’ Spammers in the ****.
It's the 9 clubs with the longest current spell in the premier league. Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, West Ham, Everton and Southampton.Who are the top 6?

I think I am in a minority here. I don’t care about the EPL and don’t care if the smaller EPL clubs don’t like it.
If the EPL is passing down 25% of income and if that is fact and it protected then that potentially ( we need to know the details) protects lower league teams for ever. ( as long as we have a wage cap so we don’t end up just spending it all on wages)
personally I am not worried about U21 EPL teams, in my opinion it won’t ever happen.Steve kavangh and Sean Harvey explained to a small group of us once why it would NEVER happen and I agree with them, but I understand why others are more sceptical.

Whilst they will technically be part of the 9 'special clubs' the new proposed rules say that only 6 votes are needed to pass a movement. Everton, Southampton and West Ham being on the voting panel is a PR smoke screen so that the PL can pretend they aren't giving all the power to the Big 6. In reality since only 6 yeses are needed to pass a vote the Big 6 can easily just vote through things that benefit them to the detriment of the rest of the league.
It the short term it does, but the longer term when the proposal can be changed by a vote of which the big 6 can do on their own it may not be the best option.The problem here is the Gov is missing in action, the Premier League have failed to come up with any plan at all, clubs will start to go out og business over the next 4-5 weeks, and this is the only plan in town.
So its pointless the Gov and Premier League whinging and whining about not liking the plan when they are in a highly damaging standoff that means they are sitting on their hands providing no alternative.
There is an old saying in business about if you don't agree with something, or think something a bad idea, and want to complain then don't just criticise- bring a solution as well as the problem.
As many on here know I have little time for the EFL- a partial and poorly run organisation at best. But in this case they see the disaster just over the hill and have no choice but to support the only plan in town and which keeps EFL clubs alive.
