Reportedly until fans are back in and clubs can generate gate money but can't see it going anywhere soon. Once it's up and running they'll find a back door to keep it. I can't really be bothered to pay close to £15 to watch my mob get stuffed every week so I'll stick to what the offerings on Sky and BT are and use MOTD for the goals and highlights of the rest

Thing is, PPV football has been tried already and bombed. Like really bombed.
As an interim for people that had season tickets or were likely to go to games and pay for tickets I think it will have legs. But once people are allowed back in to grounds, it will likely die off again as people's money that went to PPV starts going back to tickets.

Project big picture, better known as project power grab.
Disgusting behaviour from the big clubs yet again and damaging for football, trying to capitalise on the uncertainty were currently in
Almost as if its a reflection of the country as whole currently

Reducing the league to 18 clubs, maybe. Scrapping the league cup, no from me. Clubs caring about the pyramid, no chance - all about their own interests.

West ham to get special status... Hmm anything to do with this being put forward by two clubs owned by Americans and a take over by an unnamed yank leaked for us
Only thing I liked through whole thing was play offs combined for relegation and promotion
Agree about the play offs. This smacks of an ulterior motive despite all the soft talking publicity

Agreed. The big clubs (including my own), trying to ringfence eternal premiership membership, following on from what has happened in the CL over the years. Its wrong. Everyone should have a chance of being in the prem and also being relegated.

Disgusting from the big clubs. Trying to grab power while dangling security in front of the lower league clubs to try to guilt trip the other PL clubs into voting for it. I’d hate if we ended up like La Liga with a couple of clubs pulling the strings.

It’s shocking what they’re trying to implement under the guise of helping the EFL. This point, from an article I read highlights the the big issue for me: ‘Special status for the nine longest serving clubs – and the vote of only six of those “long-term shareholders” required to make major changes, including amending rules and regulations, agreeing contracts, removal of the chief executive, and a wide-ranging veto including on club ownership. So the “Top Six” (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and Spurs) and three others will get to decide who the CEO is, what the league rules are, and who can and can’t own a club’. It’s blatant that they’re effectively wanting to create a closed shop.
The irony meter is exploding at the suggestion by the PL that this 'is a power grab'. Remind me how the PL came about again?

my take
I can understand why some clubs want to look to have more power , it’s the start to going towards Club owning telly rights a bit like La Liga - but I don’t agree with it
20 to 18 teams - will reduce the amount of games , think the Promotion and Relegation has potential
The money going to the EFL is a good thing
Community Shield - well it’s only one game so not sure what that achieves
The big one is the League Cup
Always thought that teams that qualified for Europe don’t enter it

Football is just big business now so this is not a surprise.
It’s wether they are allowed to get away with it.
They want some bang for their bucks.
If you ask Tesco to subsidise the local corner shop I am sure there would be conditions attached!

Or Scotland …..
West Ham Everton and Southampton given "special status" alongside the big six. Really? Why? Seems West Ham (if you can believe anything to do with this fiasco) against it (and good on them imo) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54505270
I thought every side played in the league cup but those in Europe had byes until round three (or four?). Most put out a weak side until the semi (and even then not always) but always seem to put a good side out when there is a trophy at stake in the final and doesn't it get a Europa league spot so good for some.

Whilst against the idea, id say it’s pretty obvious why.
Just look at total years in top flight (since Pl inception). Imo Everton should be the only team with it though as they’ve had continued service.

call me cynical but im guessing they came to the numbers to ensure they can get through any current voting restrictions (id be very surprised if there isnt some other concealed bribes to the other existing prem sides currently to get the 14 of 20 votes they need)
Maybe. But even if that’s the case, id say my point covers why those 3 were chosen Or at least could be argued that they warrant it.
