Less money but I reckon the narrative would remain the same. Teams will get say £30m-£40m a season instead of £90m. Good players will go for £15m-£20m instead of £50m. Match tickets probably won’t massively decrease, maybe by about 10-15%. Everton will likely become the new SAF Man Utd/ Pep City and sign all the best players, promoted sides would still struggle to stay up and West Ham will forever remain ****.
The gap would be no where near as big though, as all the plastics will still pick a super league side.
The European Super League wouldn't take six English teams, so you'd have at least two left from the top six.
To start with. Then a rich geezer will buy a club and give them loads of money, within a decade you'd be back to the same situation. Perhaps Saints could end up being the new Man City.
I enjoyed yesterday’s performance, Especially Harry Maguire, I thought he wasn’t brilliant, He was a leader for us.
I didn’t think he was brilliant either. Please keep this on the Maguire thread, thanks.
Why would a rich geezer buy a club with no scope for improvement/profit unless they're a fan?
Pretty sure a super league would be a closed shop with no relegation etc.
The yanks would love it.
Don't know why I'm bothering but it wasn't a great performance from either team, the first half was poor and both teams were making mistakes. Once you had a goal it meant Chelsea had to push up and it played to your strengths. Wan Bassaka was very good, Maguire did his job.
Footy is popular in the UK and there's bags of money to be made, take the current big clubs out and you'd end up with some other teams being bankrolled and replacing them.
Do you think you played really well yesterday or was it down to Chelsea pushing up and playing into your hands?
The away stand was the only part of the ground that didn't get rebuilt when on/itv digital collapsed and left us with the £10/13 Million debt of reconstruction. So it's entirely constructed of scaffolding. It's been up well beyond it's best before date but still passes a safety certificate. However, the home supporters felt it embarrrassing that away fans should make the journey to put up with that shhite, especially once winter comes as it is open to the elements.
So it was agreed, when low numbers allowed, which is the majority of travelling visitor supporters that they will be resituated in the well covered GRS, I think you will see the Burton players running towards it when they scored.
However, the away stand can hold 3k, so it would have to be used for the visit of Sunderland, possibly Ipswich, always Charlton and Millwall (past) and likes of Pompey, Wimbledon etc. As it would be a security risk if those clubs were situated alongside Gills supporters in the GRS.
