Quote from: Hockley Lion on April 19, 2021, 08:05:29 PMNobody's going to forget this, even if they change their minds. It'll be unbearable being their supporters at matches.I think they should be thrown out permanently tbh. They are clearly untrustworthy and treacherous. I don't want them anywhere near football. However, if they were only to be demoted to Div 2 (old 4th div to be clear ) it might be the best way to get money into the lower divisions. Especially if gate receipts were equally divided both home and away or better still across the division so that even when Arsenal play Spurs the gate money is shared throughout the division.They'd have no option but to sell their players because they couldn't afford them and they'd put in transfer requests the following day anyway. Sky/BT or whoever would probably bid for TV rights even. Change promotion and religation to 2 teams up 2 down and let them fight it out. It'd be un-missable to watch and it'd take 2 of them at least 6 years to get back to the Prem. I don't think teams in that division would mind not getting promotion for a few seasons because they could be raking it in. They'd also be able to leave a mark on them and maybe teach them a little humility. The longer they stay there the wealthier the "little" teams would get making it more difficult for them. It has a certain poetic justice feel to it I think.Mind you. I can could see a lot of angry big six supporters trashing towns across the country.So nah. Kick them out. Permanently!Utv.In fairness, this is not down to the fans of the "big six". They're as disgusting with the idea as everyone else.

Meh, Amazon are the logical choice. They're extremely evil and they have the resources to wait out any storm.
Big Sam lost his job for trying to take some money on the side. Get rid of the Scum 6

It's not their fault at all. You only have to imagine how we'd feel if Villa were in on it. I'm glad Purslow said his piece this morning. I only hope they mean it.
I think it stinks, however if anyone thinks they are going to get kicked out / punished domestically and players punished at national level you are fooling yourself.It’s still a capitalist industry and there’s not a thing UEFA or FIFA can do about it.
If I was UEFA first thing I'd do is on Friday kick Citeh, Madrid and Chelsea out of the the CL and give the remaining 3 slots in the semis to Dortmund, Bayern and Porto. Still have 2 high quality ties for TV and let's see how opposed to the new ESL those 3 are.
