I thought that this had gone away - like a bad smell - but apparently it’s back for consideration once again…. https://news.sky.com/story/european...ly-in-blocking-breakaway-competition-13034834
If this is at it appears ie. a three division competition with promotion and relegation, open to new clubs in the future and not a closed shop then it could be a runner. Personally I would like to retain the existing setup but there will be lots of people who will see this proposal as progress. Of course, we do not have any detailed proposals yet and I am not convinced that this will prove to be as it first appears!
my take exactly ... they are [ top clubs ] spending more and more on players fee'sand when they become "surplus" or contracts run out and value is written off it will have to have a consequence!! That is the same in every day finance .. why we get black Mondays / Fridays etc and why certain shares [ often a lot altogether ] suddenly crash! LOOK at Man City under investigation for yonks [ and others who have tried to cheat the system! Derby for one] Out of the Prem and a WSC event for the next x years! The number of combinations that could be brought into play regarding PROMOTION AND RELEGATION are numerous!!!!!
I think this is why Pearson got binned. Guernsey Red was given the nod on his yacht, moored in its tax haven by other tax dodging owners on yachts that the ESL is on. Guernsey Red got onto Guernsey Red Jnr and Jnr gives it the big un saying we have a top six squad and promotion is on if we bin no nothing done nothing Pearson and get this bloke in from Oxford who will waffle the opposition to death nailing on promotion this season. Guernsey Red issued the thumbs down and Pearson was p45’d.
It’s bad enough fixture wise with the needless international breaks multiple times a season, champions league, Europa league plus our own domestic cups Purely about money as Mike says
