Here me out here. Let all them ****ers piss off and set up their own league. The money will initially go there but they will just outspend each other to try and win. Then the fans will get bored of the same games and results week in week out. Meanwhile we get our game back. Regulation comes in. And the money is evenly distributed meaning clubs with the fan bases can spend slightly more if they wish. No more bias. There would be opportunity for TV companies and clubs to move on. Salary caps could maybe be introduced based on league position/size of clubs. I don’t know am I barking up the wrong tree. Let the big dicks **** off and let us have our football back.
The ESL was in addition to the Domestic games so wouldn’t help what your talking about. It was essentially a replacement for the CL
They wouldn’t be playing the same teams in both. But the PL could just exclude them. Let them do their own closed league. Leave the rest.
Clubs wouldn’t do an ESL if they were kicked out of their own league though. Not sure what you mean about playing same teams? You mean clubs was rest players? Don’t currently do that for the CL so wouldn’t see it being any different for ESL games. Also the PL would lose so much tv money from them leaving if that happened. Short term clubs would struggle without the TV money
When i say teams I meant players in the PL as the ESL. I am sure the PL rules say that to join another league they have to get permission from the PL first!
It'll be ****.. It would finish the sport for all other league clubs and their fans. There's no point investing you can't get any back
I want something to change. They are going to do it anyway. It’s going to happen soon. We might as well plan for it.
Those teams can all **** off. They are the ****s that have destroyed football along with sky sports. Let them piss off to a "super" League and then kick the twats out.
I actually think for the love of the game we need the greedy twats out. I know there will be less money but that’s fine. There is only so many players they can buy. And once the fans get sick of the travel etc they will want normal football back. The ECL will happen: it’s how the football leagues respond to it. Regulation is needed. And when it happens the big six will not like it.
Pretty sure that the ESL will happen eventually. I expect that there will be a one time pay off to the European leagues to allow the club's to play in ESL and UEFA leagues. Then it all goes to **** because the ESL teams will get 2 income streams and due to that will be even more immune from FFP and are basically de-regulated. Leaving everyone else to pick up the scraps of diminishing PL TV income.
You see I’m not so sure it will go like that. I actually think the money is completely irrelevant. They can only have so many players and the best players will go for the ESL. As per normal the higher generating teams will get the best of these players and then a pattern will form. The world will get bored of it. Meanwhile the rest of world football can sort it self out. The players will still be there. And so will the money. Let them go and let them go and not come back.
Would love it as well if the national teams said if you play in the ESL then you can't play for us that season.
Terrible idea. I get what you mean and if they wanted to go I wouldn't miss them. Football is ****ed, I wouldn't waste too much time on it. Oh and they're all a bunch of fairies anyway
The things that needs changing are loan system, agents fees, salary caps within clubs (whole club cap rather than individual), etc. It’s like any cancer you have to treat the cause, not the symptoms. They get what they want because they abuse systems that don’t work. Get rid of those things, or moderate them effectively, and you can pare back the damage they’ve caused. An ESL will just exacerbate the problems. For everyone.
