    City supporting the very contentious proposals.

    Bad - putting the power with the "big 9", loss of Carabao Cup, reduction to 18 clubs in the Prem

    Good - short term financial help for EFL clubs plus longer term commitments, may aid survival of a number of clubs, governance review and fans issues to be addressed (including ticket pricing and travel reduction - that must mean regional (north and south maybe) in EFL 1 and 2, that could be regarded as a bad also)

    I'm sat on the fence with this. What are your views guys?

    If this goes through I can't see it being long until the top 4 or 5 joint a European league.

    Or the opposite Dai. If Liverpool and Man U don't get this through and get a reduction in PL clubs numbers they could then up sticks and align with the Barcelonas, Real Madrids and Bayerns of this world.

    Of course, reduced game numbers and no Carabao cup could free up space for them to go to some sort of European mini super league.

    Who knows what their underlying motives are?

    Well that picture bombed at the box office.

    I suppose for some it would be like turkeys voting for Christmas.

    Either that, or City only supported the proposed benefits to the EFL clubs because a of a lack of ambition to get up there themselves?
