It's the darkest day for footballGenuine question. Is this the darkest day in the history of our club? Even worse than the relegations etc.?
Genuine question. Is this the darkest day in the history of our club? Even worse than the relegations etc.?
Not just more money - more money and guaranteed qualification every year because we're a founding club.So more money.
We'd have to wait 3 seasons to get promoted because City, Liverpool, United and Chelsea would go up first. Still i'd rather watch us at Barnsley than play endless tedious games against ACMilan.Imagine the mess if FA's action will be for the top 6 teams to get relegated.
I bet everyone's Lawyering up now as we speak. This has the potential to get really, really ugly.This. I think people need to give their heads a wobble if they're thinking we're about to leave the Premier League.
I'm not so sure.Big 6 could basically make the Premier League go under if they wanted.
There's no way these clubs announce this if they aren't 100% confident the domestic leagues will fall in line.
It's probably been his plan in the long run. Makes sense why he held on to the naming rights for so long.Not just more money - more money and guaranteed qualification every year because we're a founding club.
It's a concept created by greed but there's no doubt Levy's pulled off a coup in getting our name on that list.
Conglomerate*Seriously?
We're going upwards.
Levy has guaranteed our future as a super club.
Considering we're currently sat in 7th, I guess we win the league.Imagine the mess if FA's action will be for the top 6 teams to get relegated.
Neville for Prime minister......well said!!I need a heart emoji for posts like this. Pure truth.
From an ethical point of view, yes I'd say so.Genuine question. Is this the darkest day in the history of our club? Even worse than the relegations etc.?
The TV revenue would decrease by 50-80%. None of the other teams are prepared for that loss of revenue outside of the teams that will be promoted.I'm not so sure.
I certainly agree that yes, of course, there would be less money involved in the PL, but there's still (and I hate the word) a 'product', without the top six teams. It would still be watched and enjoyed.
If the PL wanted to stick to their principles (ha!), then they could.
