As I've said before, the PL aren't a governing body. There's this misconception in the public that they're "like" UEFA or FIFA - they're absolutely not. The PL ARE the big 6 teams, the big 6 teams ARE the PL - there's no differentiating the two. The PL don't represent Burnley or Everton, etc., they are a bunch of people whose jobs are to sell the broadcast rights here and abroad to the highest bidder, then line the pockets with bias of the largest 6 teams, making sympathy payments to the rest and the leagues below.

The bottom line is the Premier League should never have been allowed to form. We're the only country where are governing body doesn't control the top flight - I still cannot fathom how it exists. But it also now needs to disappear, for the good of football, as does the CL in its format.

Football's at a crossroads.

Football needs to go back to how it was pre 1992. No money, average wages, people playing for the love of the game and clubs existing for the communities they serve.

They won't if it's not either mate

They don't have to.

The 100k petition will just get a mention in parliament and they'll say its not their business but " there there newcastle fans maybe the process needs a revamp"

It's a complete waste of time all this mate

I don't know I can think of at least two non Newcastle fans who seem to be getting very uptight about it.

True I think there's some small concern as much a there is a small hope..

I don't see anything happening now... We've heard no indication from PIF they're back in abs and the only sources saying they have are the likes of Steve wraith and Liam sweeney who took up an ITK position and were declaring it was done no matter how many red flags were presented to them.. One was even mocking anyone that doubted it was happening..

I am not sure where you are getting this from.

As far as I can see each club holds the same number of shares (1) in PL Ltd and retains that for the period that they are in the PL. On relegation they transfer it to a team coming up as requested. Each of the clubs has equal voting rights. The clubs agree the breakdown and distribution of revenue from broadcasting - the only bias towards the big clubs might be that more of their games will be shown on TV so they get a larger share of the Facility Fee.

Maybe the big clubs can use their muscle to have influence on the distribution of revenues by threatening to leave and form a Super League of some sort so lower teams vote with them as they are scared revenues would drop if the big teams leave as likes of Sky would not be as interested in PL.

I've emailed my mp demanding that he lobbies for a forensic investigation into the PL from top to bottom. The whole ****ing organisation is rancid from top to bottom and they need to be held accountable....not just for our club but for the good of English league football. Their behaviour is hardly in keeping with the objectives they outline on their own website under the solidarity section :-
