[Football] Big 6 clubs trying to take more of the TV cake

Greedy *******s. How much money do they want? Maybe if they stopped spending ridiculous amounts on transfers and wages they might be able to reduce ticket prices. If they're that bothered about the money maybe they should get together and agree caps to transfers and wages, the stupid amounts involved can't go on forever.

The downside of winning a prize in the Championship is gaining a place in the Premier League, full of non footballing types filling their boots including players, owners and agents. Tell you what Man U, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal, just FO, go play in Europe, not interested in your big club, big city mentality. I really do not give a flying shit if Barca, Lisbon or Bayern win a cup, but if Mile Oak or Haywards Heath get thee Fa Vase I will be over the moon!

Without all of the other clubs the 6 will only have a European Super League to play in. Maybe that's the plan

I think Paul Barber will actually be saying that there should be a big 7 which includes Brighton. He will support this by pointing out our large following in Israel and the Seagull supporting fans in Australia, America and elsewhere.

I think this would be the ideal situation for many, but not sure there will ever be the collective effort to make it happen. Would take a real change in attitude from fans of those clubs and a hpshift in power to such a point that little clubs don't even compete with the bigger ones. This is basically true at the moment, but certainly in England the likes of BBC are guilty of propagating the idea that the Premier League is an open and exciting race where anyone DNA beat anyone.

Good.
I just wish they'd get in with it and leave the league to the rest of us.

It wouldn't take collective effort really. Just the same clubs making the same noises as when the Premier League formed. Plus the added heft of the European big boys.

Possibly, but I do wonder I feel those 'noises' are more of an attempt to give the impression that English football is lucky to have them and should reward them accordingly than a genuine wish to overhaul the status quo. On a purely financial basis, a European super league of, say, 20 clubs would not only have to replace the champions league but also massively devalue the commercial worth of all those countries first divisions. Would this really suit those clubs, or are they better off stramrollering their domestic leagues and saving their real efforts for Europe as a cup competition, in the meantime making huge revenues from the TVs deals for both?

Someone needs to remind these dick heads there is no PL without the other 14 teams.

Apparently, last I read, the inflated transfers and wages are due to relegated sides 'banking' their parachute payments and going all out when promoted back to the PL.
They will not breakaway, too risky, our domestic league will strive while their super euro league could eventually lead to apathy.

How depressing to hear your club referred to as a 'bigger brand' shows where liverpools focus is and why normal fans can no longer get a seat over the tourists

If they get a larger slice of the TV pie they weaken the competition as there is even less chance of a Leicester etc. The strength of the league will be affected the very thing that made them rich in the first place. Turkey's voting for Christmas indeed...
