How do they earn more money with less games? I guess they want more tv money near the top then? Not reducing season tickets cost and stuff like that.Money.

Money is the answer to it, but you have to think they have the foresight to look beyond the next five years or so and realize that in the long term this is going nowhere good.Absolutely shambolic and should not happen at all.
why are they so intent on killing football?
Theory seems to be it makes more time for money-making pre-season friendlies in Asia, etc.How do they earn more money with less games? I guess they want more tv money near the top then? Not reducing season tickets cost and stuff like that.
That is just terrible then. I guess Glaziers like having more meaningless games for money.Theory seems to be it makes more time for money-making pre-season friendlies in Asia, etc.
This is the sort of post I was looking for in the thread about the 15 pound PPV matches! There's always one like this.I like it.
The relegation/promotion playoff change is done in order to increase the global appeal and revenue from it.
The main sticking point is the voting change and contrary to most I think it makes sense. Why would a club that is in the PL once in a blue moon have the same vote as the clubs that are a permanent fixture? However I wouldn't reduce the number of voting teams, but instead would make the votes proportional on the number of years the clubs have spent in the PL. So for example United and Pool would get 28 votes, City would get 18 votes, Leeds would get 1 vote and West Ham would get 8 votes.
Prem reduced to 18How’s does this bit work??
- 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.
So you think the likes of Leeds who spend 1 year out of twenty in the PL should have the same say on how it's governed as Man United?This is the sort of post I was looking for in the thread about the 15 pound PPV matches! There's always one like this.
Yes I do. If you're a PL club then you should have a significant vote, just as much as any other club. There are twenty teams in the league. They all start the season on even ground. No one team should have more say than the others. Consolidation of power at the top makes things boring.So you think the likes of Leeds who spend 1 year out of twenty in the PL should have the same say on how it's governed as Man United?
It's an opening gambit.How do they earn more money with less games? I guess they want more tv money near the top then? Not reducing season tickets cost and stuff like that.
Should Leicester city have a bigger say than a club like Spurs? They have won it after all.So you think the likes of Leeds who spend 1 year out of twenty in the PL should have the same say on how it's governed as Man United?
It's the classic suits the big clubs doesn't suit the smaller clubs thing.My spider senses are tingling at this. All seems too good to be something proposed by the likes of Man United and Liverpool.
Should a person on social benefits not have the same vote as a millionaire in the general election?Why should your vote matter as much as someone who earns a lot more than you?
Clubs will vote for anything if they're given enough cut of the pie.No club expecting to finish between mid table and the bottom would vote to reduce the numbers would they?
You're comparing two different things.Should a person on social benefits not have the same vote as a millionaire in the general election?
Newcastle United have been in the Premier league more seasons than City yet their vote doesn't count.You're comparing two different things.
Should someone visiting your country for a years work experience have the same voting rights on its long term governance as you who've lived there all your life?
I don't think the number should be arbitrary, and 9 clubs seems silly, but I can also see why it doesn't make sense to give yoyo clubs who are only in the league for a single season, full voting rights on long term strategical decisions.
That is the point I was making.Should a person on social benefits not have the same vote as a millionaire in the general election?
This is a very simplistic view, most issues that need voting have long term repercussions and are not just limited to a single season. Clubs who get promoted, spend a year or two in the PL and then disappear forever shouldn't have the same say. The future of the PL is not that much of their concern, since they spend most of their time in the lower levels and this is reflected in their voting.Yes I do. If you're a PL club then you should have a significant vote, just as much as any other club. There are twenty teams in the league. They all start the season on even ground. No one team should have more say than the others. Consolidation of power at the top makes things boring.
That's not a fair representation of the proposal. Better: should a permanent resident have the same vote as someone who comes there only from time to time and in the last twenty years has spent there only a combined couple of years.Should a person on social benefits not have the same vote as a millionaire in the general election?
It's like they've purposely timed this even worse scheme to take the heat off yesterday's nonsense.Wow what perfect timing, given they are two of the clubs that oppose the extra live matches being free for season ticket holders, a move that will see fans pay an extra 15 pounds rather than being put on free view tv.
Yep, an utterly dreadful post. Probably some sort of super rich Tory landlord who has 15 properties and views hoovering up rent from struggling families as "just business"This is the sort of post I was looking for in the thread about the 15 pound PPV matches! There's always one like this.
How? The big 6 (specifically United and Liverpool) bring in far more viewership than anyone to the PL, yet don't benefit anywhere near as much from it.Not really, if you're in the league you're in the league. Why should clubs be rewarded because increasing stratification of the league has enabled them to consolidate power and never realistically be relegated? The big 6 are already the massive beneficeries of a large reduction in competitiveness of the league...just how far do you want to push things?
Very much a I got mine attitude.
Which has made the league more competitive since top clubs can't just cherry pick the players they wont for penniesHow? The big 6 (specifically United and Liverpool) bring in far more viewership than anyone to the PL, yet don't benefit anywhere near as much from it.
The current deal guarantees the clubs at the bottom clubs £100m odd each in TV income - when they'd struggle to get a 1/10th of that individually. It's why they can slap stupid price tags on their players, compared to their European counterparts.
To be perfectly honest lets not act like the PL exists outside of the English football league pyramid. So if a club is in the PL for 20 years and another only 5 years in that time but have been in the championship for 15 years. I see no reason why they shouldn't have the same rights, since the decisions made significantly impact the rest of English football.That's not a fair representation of the proposal. Better: should a permanent resident have the same vote as someone who comes there only from time to time and in the last twenty years has spent there only a combined couple of years.
The whole reason why our league is an entertaining product and is able to earn that 100 million in TV income per club is bottom those bottom clubs have enough money to get players that can put up some sort of a fight against the big clubs and make our matches worth watching. It's a self perpetuating cycle, that if you take away the money the smaller clubs make and make them easier prey for bigger teams to poach their players, the league becomes weaker on the whole and thus less worthwhile viewing.How?

But it's not about the amount of years your in the top division though is it? Newcastle & villa have been in the top division (premier league years) more years than cityThat's not a fair representation of the proposal.
