I wonder which other 6 clubs supported Newcastle?

[PeterWithesShin]

Us and Man City are pretty much guaranteed i'd have thought. Also likely Bournemouth and Forest.

[London Villan]

I really hope it wasn't us - didn't we have to sell a stake in a club in the summer because of a potential conflict of interests in Europe.

Why are we definitely one of the scab seven? Our feeder clubs are all bottom-feeders.

Good question, I assumed it was the Scab Six + Newcastle.

[Sexual Ealing]

I might be way wrong, but Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd don't have a multi-club model (do they?!) so we'd be much more likely than them to be one of the sinful septet. Although they probably were as well, just to keep their hands in at the old doing evil thing they enjoy so much.

I suspect that, were Newcastle to bring Neves in on a free or a much reduced fee, that'd put the cat amongst the pigeons a bit too much for them.

I’m going with the scab six for now until proven wrong. I can’t see us needing players in January from the lower leagues.

[The Man With A Stick]

Brighton too I expect.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's not just about bringing in a Neves type in Jan, it's longer term as well. Including youth loans etc. We may want to think we're above voting to allow it but we clearly aren't with the price hikes, Lower Grounds etc. And who is more likely to vote for it, convenient 'baddies' in the Sky6 despite most of them having no affiliated clubs or us, Forest and Bournemouth that do have them?

Deep down I'm sure we all know Villa will vote for whatever suits us. Purslow as good as said there were things he'd have supported once we were in a position to benefit from them.

NEW: The seven clubs that blocked ban on signing loan players from partner teams were (according to sources) Newcastle, Sheff Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Wolves, Forest.

Some other clubs angry that Saudi-owned Sheff Utd joined the opposition bloc.

I agree. The only reason we weren't part of the scab 6 is because we weren't good enough to be invited at the time.

[PeterWithesShin]

Would be nice if that's right and it wasn't us. Wolves is a weird one unless the owners are planning to sell.

Feeder club for the barcodes.
