Clubs who have never been in the Prem or spent much time in the Champ will jump at this opportunity.

Hopefully it doesn't go through, I'd rather the 'big 6' just f*ck off into a European league with no option of returning.

It wont be long now before the Man U's, Liverpools etc succeed in ditching Sky/BT/Amazon in favour of screening their matches as Pay per View. They have multi million fans globally so its their road to mega riches that will dwarf current tv income. Even our own youngster Elkan Baggot has over a million social media followers in Indonesia alone. 100 million Far East fans paying £1.00 each to watch Man U v Chelsea! Their billionaire owners must be rubbing their greasy hands at the prospect.

You'd assume that the 25% would be contractually nailed down for a fixed period. Would be mental if not.

Although this might work in our favour if the EFL is seen to play ball and the Prem clubs reject it. We can only hope.

Surprised it’s quite that high but not that most clubs would back it - reality is that most of the clubs in the FL are staring into the abyss and this package will help them hugely in the short and medium term. The loss of voting rights for most of the PL doesn’t impact your average League One and Two club

Even long term this doesn’t change much for most clubs - it may make facilitate a European League and the English structure collapsing but if that’s the end game it will happen anyway, with or without these changes, so may aswell take the money now!

The more likely scenario is the big 6 will vote through an inequitable TV deal, that has a higher % for them and a smaller amount for the other 12.

Which will then see the amount to EFL reduced drastically

The 'work-around' that I saw mentioned is that the PL clubs will vote to allow themselves to negotiate their own individual TV deals. This would mean that the value of any 'collective' deal would be dramatically reduced, meaning that the EFL ends up with 25% of naff all, whilst the big six are able to receive 100% of their deals worth hundreds of millions.

This x1000

If the EFL agree to the deal, it might keep the current, utterly broken, system afloat for another year but at what cost? It's akin to selling your soul to the devil for a handful of magic beans.

The greedy 6 can do one. Personally I don't care if we never play them again, let them f*ck off to their own private club and give the rest of us a chance to enjoy real football, based on a level playing field and which club can put the best side together, rather than a self-perpetuating p!ssing content for who has the wealthiest owner.

Nah, selling individual PPV rights more likely

Still for EFL clubs it doesn’t really matter - 25% of any package deals for a smaller number of games is still likely to be more lucrative than selling it’s own rights. Only spanner could be that the PL itself losing its lustre means that the EFL’s own value drops significantly - what use is a playoff final if it’s not the richest prize in football? But again those long term issues are inevitable anyway

I could believe that.

The 'big 6' know what's coming, and know how to get exactly what they want, this proposal - whilst having some good ideas - is just their first move towards that goal.

Anybody who thinks, "Ahh, aren't they great, helping all the little clubs out!" must be short of a few marbles.

What happens when one of the 9 has a close shave with relegation? Most likely to be West Ham or Southampton. They will almost certainly play the 'we are one of the nine!' card and argue they should be permanent members. I could see the nine voting for changes which makes them immune to relegation.

This is a slippery slope.

They can take the likes of Barcelona, Madrid, PSG and Juventus with them, they can then play each other for a billion Yuan a game and leave the rest of us to enjoy football again and maybe some European competitions will become competitive again.

The 9 are just the longest serving clubs, so if one goes down they get replaced - it's meaningless really for anyone outside big 6 who can vote on a 2/3rds majority anyway

But not beyond the realm of possibility that one of them goes down - very unliklely of course - but if they did they'd be totally screwed as would have to wait until they become in the 9 longest serving clubs again

There's genuinely a lot of good in the plans - the voting rights and what can potentially happen is the big concern - but more equity throughout pyramid is what we want - and frankly that means bottom half PL clubs not earning £100m a season

The EFL is going to get shafted either way - is it best to be shafted by the 6 biggest clubs, or the whole PL?!
