    Not the point though. Read the last paragraph. Good way of ensuring that certain clubs will always have the chance of bouncing back and the top 10 or 12 will never be disturbed. The chance of anyone doing a Leicester will be even remote.

    Was just reading about the abolition of the maximum wage in football. The 4 seasons before it was abolished the Champions were Wolves, twice, Tottenham (the last time they won it) , Burnley and the season it was abolished, Ipswich. Liverpool were then in Division 2. They came up the season the maximum wage was abolished, the Moore bankrolled them and 2 seasons later were Champions.
    A maximum wage for all divisions made it possible for a larger number of clubs to compete for the title. This new proposed scheme will narrow it even further.

    Mr Hatem being stupid, there's a surprise.
    Obviously you don't read it. Not enough pictures and you would need help with the big words.

    I really struggle to understand this. The important bit is the story not which paper it was written in. If it's right it's right if it's wrong then challenge it.

    I completely get the point .
    Free range for the top 6/8 clubs to pay what they wish whilst dictating to the rest!
    Nothings gonna change it .
    With 49% of the younger generation happy to have a European super league whilst most over 40 ish are against it just shows that it ain't gonna change .
    Just big business dictating.

    I don't live in the UK and have no interest what is in the UK "tabloid" press, with or without pictures.
    I know plenty of big words that you don't know, such as 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.

    Well if that’s the case and they do breakaway, then we are half a season away from being promoted to the new top flight of the EFL. <cheers>

    A break away league made up of the others in the Premier League outside the elite and the more ambitious Championship clubs would be more of an attraction. Especially if they did away with VAR, diving and cheating, a salary cap at about 8k a week ( more then enough for anyone) reintroduced standing, capped admission at £20, £5 for kids, allowed alcohol to be consumed in your seats, ( as an added bonus for buying a seat) Compulsory 3.00 pm kick off times on a Saturday afternoon, 7.45 mid week, and didn't show any live televised matches. Plus a new knock out cup competition which was compulsory to play the majority of the established first team, would be a far better attraction then any manufactured European super league made up of teams of millionaires.

    Yet you seem to think it worth commenting on when someone in the UK reads UK newspapers.

    Peculiar person.

    If they allow standing we won't be in seats so they will have to allow it in standing areas. They manage it here with as many people behind one goal standing as can fit in the KCOM, and bring beer round in portable dispensers so you don't have to queue on the concourses. Of course it wouldn't be allowed in country.

    First Cup Final I watched was Man Utd v Villa in 1957. In the next 20 seasons 12 different clubs won the title, 3 of them for the first time. In the last 20 seasons 6 clubs have won it only 1 for the first time and these new proposals make the chances of any other club winning it for the first time virtually impossible.

    It's not allowed in that country either at the moment, they've banned all alcohol at football matches, due to pissed up people giving each other COVID.

    They allow it in normal times, unlike here. But don't let that stop you trying to deflect and pointscore.

    It appears Dr Barca has started up a psychological profiling practise - keeps digging at me too. Childish pastime if you ask me.

    The conclusions drawn by the OP on this are total and utter bollocks.

    "In an attempt to allow Premier League clubs threatened with the drop to protect their assets, players on contracts above £720,000 a year — a divisional average calculated by dividing the £18m by 25 (the number of players in a squad) — will be registered at the £720,000 mark and their contracts can be extended at existing levels of pay should they have less than 18 months on their deals remaining and should their clubs be in receipt of parachute payments."

    What the **** has this to do with standing?
