Why exactly do they need more money? And where exactly is that coming from? It will jupush wages, transfer fees and agents fees higher.

Well the Spanish clubs are in the shit with debt. Italian ones I dont think are much better, Spurs need to start paying back on their stadium, Arsenal are not making any money and the rest are greedy cunts

JP Morgan bank. 6 billion loan apparently. This is just a typical American sport business model. They care nothing for the fans in anyway. They are just a cash cow and nothing more. The bottom line is absolutely the priority, and nothing will stand in their way.

Very clever time to do this to when fans aren’t in the grounds as things would turn nasty especially when a big 6 sides plays away.

 

[jd1981]

Regardless of what happens don’t think there’s been to many bigger days in football history than this.

I think the only way UEFA and FIFA will win is firstly to ban any player in that league from playing for their respective countries, and then ban the club from playing in any european cup competition. I believe they would also take those clubs to court.
Although..... I think there is more to this than meets the eye. More like something to get UEFA to change their course...

Let's see how that statement holds.

I hope he walks as the people above him at the club are cunts.

Here’s one put an England side together that doesn’t involve any big 6 player.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

----------------------Pickford-------------------

Cash---------Coady----------Godfrey-------Bertrand

--------Ward-Prowse----Rice------Maddison-------

---------Sancho------Calvert-Lewin-----Grealish-------

Edit: Would pick Vardy obviously if he'd play.

Well with German and Bayern jobs both up for grabs no better time.

If they do kick out the greedy 6, means we are in a Europa league spot at the moment

 

[jd1981]

Clubs from smaller leagues must be worried to ie Rangers, Celtic, Ajax, Porto, Benfica etc

 

[BGreenWolf]

Fuck everyone involved in this.

 

[jd1981]

The more I hear from reliable journalists the more this is looking like it’s going to happen it isn’t a bit of bluff calling. Work must have been going on for a long time I’m almost certain they’ll have a tv deal in negotiations already. Plenty of platforms that would happily show this.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Spare a thought for the actual match-going fans who have had their clubs pulled from under them so some greedy cunt like Levy can have a few extra quid in their account.

You can forget away tickets for thirty quid too. This will bring out the very worst excesses.

 

[jd1981]

Unfortunately the PL will probably be weak as piss on this just know they’ll keep the big 6 sweet t o keep their competition safe. Will UEFA still keep their own version of the CL?

 

[AndyWolves]

The most horrible thing is this will work.

Most of the pl market is abroad and they aren't paying to watch Burnley Vs west Brom.

If the big 6 are kicked out then the pl customers will simply become customers of the ESL. PL loses revenue and so do all clubs in it. If PL want to keep revenue then the big 6 need to remain.

Repeat throughout Europe, and for the WC, Euros

It's fucked, I don't see the governing bodies stopping this. I don't see how.

Sadly you’re probably right unfortunately the big 6 are huge part of the PL. As I said earlier we’ve just become totally subservient to these clubs. Good luck firstly trying to recruit top players and secondly keeping hold of any decent players.
The big 6 will be able to pack there squads full of enough quality to rotate from Wednesday to Saturday and be competitive in both competitions.
The fact is we’ve been told tonight coming 7th is as good as you can ever reach. Even if you come higher you’ll have to jump through loads of hurdles to make the super league and when you’re there you won’t be able to compete.
But you should just be happy that you had a chance.

It won't work though. If they have the misguided belief that football in front of empty stadiums works because of the last year then they're barking up the wrong tree. No, we've gone along with it because we've had to, we're literally not allowed in and for a time football on the TV was ALL there was available to do.

No-one wants to watch this. People won't pay for it.

As I've said, you can't appeal to all non-European markets at the same time.

FIFA and UEFA still hold the cards, as much as Agnelli, Perez, Henry, Glazer, Kroenke etc might like to think otherwise. It's just hubris on their part. Now much like in poker, you can try calling a bluff when you're holding a pair of 2s and a 5 if you really want to. I wouldn't though.

Why would the stadiums be empty?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I didn't mean literally no-one would turn up but you're kidding me if you think Spurs will fill out 61,000 seats showing this nonsense and nothing else. Wouldn't happen. They think matchday revenue will just turn up again, it only will if there's a worthwhile product.

No-one is interested in this.

And football in front of no-one (or actually, probably a 50% full stadium is worse, because you CAN sell tickets but can't sell them for love nor money) is better than literally nothing but it is shit.
