That's exactly what it is. "Big 6" basically get to make all the decisions if it goes through. Some proposals have merit but won't happen as the other clubs would basically have to give up their votes, non starter because of that and rightly so too. Maybe they can come to a compromise where some of it gets implemented and clubs keep their votes but it's changed to an 11 vote majority instead of 14 as it currently is.

But without the big 6 wouldnt be the money in the game

and if a power grab is to give 25% of PL revenue to EFL then you really need to look up Powergrab in the dictonary

It is an attempt to gain control & make the rich richer. The 25% of collective revenue is to get the deal through but there is nothing to stop that figure being lowered at a vote later.
Also there will be less collective revenue as this deal allows clubs to sell games separately outside of the TV deal (this most likely will increase), also 4 less game weeks so less opportunities to broadcast.

Also by reducing the Premier league by 2 teams you are effectively kicking 2 teams out of the football league to make room for them as EFL wont have a 26 team league.

Exactly this is supposed to be a banter page but it's just all serious on this thread , which is why i tried to create banter a couple times but not even a reply or thank i even made a joke a couple days ago saying football is on box office.

That's the key I think how much is the deal worth the EFL in seasons to come, at the moment it's great and would turn a list making league into a profitable one, we wouldn't see another Bury which would be great but it would need the pound figure in writing so they could run like that from now on and not get screwed over in the future,
Would also say the championship needs to drop teams as its far to many games at the moment for the level of football would also be better at 18 or 20, the easy way to do.it would be turn league 2 back into north and south push every down a few places , I bet the EFL would do it if the money was garenteed

there is a discussion on one of my footie pages on FB about the players taking the knee. Do you support the players continuing it, or do you think they should stop? Some people do say it is destroying the game so what to do you guys think?

I'm sure I herd on the radio somewhere that it was possible - or likely - that eventually the PL would end up being in a a position of power, and stop any EFL teams being automatically promoted into the PL or something.

Personally I feel like taking of the knee has had it's time mainly because I don't think it cuts through like it did. Doing it for however many games that was left of last season after the restart seemed to me like it would of been enough. Now whenever you see it it's expected & doesn't have the same impact.

The idea however that it is destroying the game is absolute nonsense I don't see how any mentally competent person could even come to that conclusion, the idea that taking a stance for justice is in someway detrimental to a trivial game, especially when it takes place before the game actually starts is just stupid.

The only way people who advocate such a stance could in anyway be useful to society is if they jumped in a machine that grinds fertilizer & had their useless remains sprayed over a field. Of course such idiots would be lower quality than the rest of the fertilizer but they would be mized in with the good shit. Literaly

I don't think this taking of the knee stuff would've lasted this long if fans were allowed in stadiums. The kick racism out campaign does the job as it is.

Doesn't look good for my current Sky Sports subscription
