Re: 6 teams going into the Premiership in August

Herein lies the problem. If those six DO leave the Premier, then it's not the Premier any more, is it? And it won't have the same goods to sell, when it goes to Sky or BT, renew the television deals (because you can bet that Sky and BT will be looking to pay less, if the 'big' clubs are gone). So the Premier gets less money, and the attendances drop off at the remaining clubs, because there isn't the attraction of watching Kane or Sala at your home ground.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Sala at all...............ironic phone call on Radio 5 on the way home today, all fans being interviewed 100% against it, Liverpool and Manchester and London accents bar one, and he was all for it, a Man Utd fan from Bristol!!! I’m surprised the irony wasn’t mentioned.

Think some are getting carried away by this. The big 6 aren't going to leave the premier league overnight.

wait for the EGM tomorrow, we'll have a better idea then.

Some of us remember the First Division, of course :-)

Thing is these clubs also have a lot of actual fans who just got steamrollered. We shouldn't forget that. The owners should be first up against the wall when the revolution comes, but it's the Liverpool, utd and city fans who should be given the guns.

And from what I can tell: the armchair fans aren't too happy about it either.

Can’t speak for others, but I go to my home (or away) ground to see Cardiff City, I couldn’t give two monkeys about Kane or Salah.

Na, base it on size of stadium

Nah , base relegation on how many boarded up city centre windows there are .

Off these big 6, I’ve definitely seen us play Manure, Chelsea and Spurs outside of the 1st division, maybe Man City as well just can’t remember.
