Clubs in the Football League are in serious trouble while crowds aren't allowed, but giving the richest more power for a few crumbs off their table is not the way to go.
The day when the top teams feck off to a Euro super league can't come soon enough!Quote:

Take that away and you take away the heart of it for me.
I also wouldn't have any interest in watching the new breakaway league, if that was something we could never be a part of
Well said that man.
Always had time for Holloway, proper football man.
The plan stinks to high heaven and that Rick Parry (is it?) should take heed and forget the little sweetener he's (allegedly) been offered.
As IH says, football players clubs and fans need to be able to dream again and this plan will only make it harder.
How dare Wolves and Sheffield United come in and upset the apple cart! :angry:
Holloway must be a tory though proposing that the government take charge :yikes:
If the big teams want a superleague then they can probably get one - they've done it before. What's left would be reduced to minor league status but it can still thrive. I think it would just need to be presented in a different way. Maintaining a 46 game trudge through the year would not make it a comparatively attractive proposition.Quote:

I'd rather watch British players making a go of it, than the same 6 international All Star XI's running away with it every year. Let's face it, our previous two visits to the Premier League weren't much fun. I enjoy watching parks football, so anything above that would be a bonus.Quote:

Yep its no longer a level playing field let them create better competitive leagues for the rest that then give clubs promoted to the top tier a feeling they can compete , not have to over extend to survive its not healthy to be dominated by a conglomerate of super rich clubs .Quote:
