‘the biggest shake-up in football in a generation’

Liverpool and Manchester United have been working together on a proposal that would see a radical set of changes in English football.

The plans include:

• £250 million immediately to the EFL to compensate its clubs for lost matchday revenue, deducted from future television revenue earnings and financed by a loan taken out by the Premier League.
• Special status for the nine longest serving clubs – and the vote of only six of those “long-term shareholders” required to make major changes, including amending rules and regulations, agreeing contracts, removal of the chief executive, and a wide-ranging veto including on club ownership.
• Premier League to go to 18 clubs from 20.
• £100 million one-off gift to the FA to cover its coronavirus losses, the non-league game, the women’s game, the grassroots.
• 8.5 per cent of annual net Premier League revenue to go on operating costs and “good causes” including the FA.
• From the remainder, 25 per cent of all combined Premier League and Football League revenues to go to the EFL clubs.
• Six per cent of Premier League gross revenues to pay for stadium improvements across the top four divisions, calculated at £100 per seat.
• New rules for the distribution of Premier League television income, overseas and domestic, including proposals that base one portion on performance over three years in the league.
• The abolition of the League Cup and the Community Shield.
• 24 clubs each in the Championship, League One and League Two reducing the professional game overall from 92 clubs to 90.
• A women’s professional league independent of the Premier League or the FA.
• Two sides automatically relegated from the Premier League every season and the top two Championship teams promoted. The 16th place Premier League club in a play-off tournament with the Championship’s third, fourth and fifth placed teams.
• Financial fair play regulations in line with Uefa, and full access for Premier League executive to club accounts.
• A fan charter including capping of away tickets at £20, away travel subsidised, a focus on a return to safe standing, a minimum away allocation of eight per cent capacity.
• Later Premier League start in August to give greater scope for pre-season friendlies, and requirement for all clubs to compete once every five years in a summer Premier League tournament.
• Huge changes to loan system allowing clubs to have 15 players out on loan domestically at any one time and up to four at a single club in England.

More money and control for the top 6 clubs and a European Super league in the future.

 

Bet they promise not to come in your mouth either

 

AKA proposals to make the big clubs richer and make a bigger divide.

****ing shock horror.

**** them.

 

I don’t trust the top 6 clubs as far as I could throw them. That said, maintaining the status quo is just as much of a ****show. We need the grass roots to drive forward a proper plan. Where are the visionaries at the EFL? Oh....

 

Oh indeed.

 

You just put my neurotic Sister-in-law right off, Chazz

This will take time to digest. So no serious comment from me. Some of it sounds reasonable, but I'm not that gullible. The problem is, many are incredibly gullible.

TWT

 

The thing is, the vetoing of takeovers appears to already be taking place, if you look at what happened to Newcastle...

 

Interesting that Manure are mentioned as the chances are this year there will not be a top 6 club...

 

Man Utd are there because it is their American owners, same with Liverpool, who want to franchise and Americanise the sport as much as possible.

Thundercunts.

 

Just by making the league 18 clubs rather than the present 20 will probably cover all the promised help to the other clubs.

So Scousers and Mancs now run football. Add in that **** from Manchester Hunters comment about B teams being allowed in the Championship, hello European Suoer League. VAR, FIFA and the EPL = RIP football.

 

Still in favour of relegation and promotion ? There's a surprise.

 

Not scousers and mancs. Americans.

****ing hell, if the fans were the ones running it, football would probably be in a much better position.


English football might be better off without these ****s, let them run off to their Super League. **** them.

 

Definitely.
