Champions League revamp

I think it would be silly for them to speak out, currently.

The approach they seem to be making is, listen, take everything in, meet, then form a plan.

I think its unfair to expect players to speak out.
Making statements like Milner ”I don’t like it and hope it doesn’t happen” are about as far as you can reasonably expect given they have also been blindsided.
 

Thanks, I’m surprised by the fans outrage of the 6 clubs. It will go ahead and the PL will probably let them stay and you will always have loads of money and play big teams every week.
But it's not about playing big teams every single week.
As Pep says: Going to Turf Moor to play Burnley is like going to the dentist!
It's all part of the mix which makes our league what it is (or at least did).
It's about grinding out some results out to eventually be crowned the champions.
After 38 games the table does not lie. It will now. The scabby six will have
different teams to play in each competition. Its ruined.
 

Looking at it the wrong way mate. Perhaps I wasnt clear.

The scab clubs want the scab league, and stay in the PL. Currently, the PL have the power to drop them. So, one more PL club in the scab league, and they have control back.

Out of the 14, who would you approach? A club who have panned it, or one who hasnt, and whose owner couldnt care less, fan wise?

According to this the decision to expel would be made by an independent 3-man tribunal, not the 20 clubs.

As always there is a 3rd way. Seems at the moment its a binary in out option. The disadvantage of kicking them out is losing money.
Why not keep them in but on the proviso they have no say in the running of the league. Essentially use them to get paid.
Tax them, a massive SuperLeague Redistribution tax, the Government can fix this
 
People saying the TV deals for prem clubs will take a hit if the 6 leave?

It will take a bigger hit if they stay imho.

Honestly who’s going to pay to watch a competition that isn’t really a competition because nobody outside of the 6 gain anything from being in it apart from survival?

You’d still have the customers of the big 6 paying I suppose. But will they even care about a competition that’s been devalued so much? The “most exciting league in the world” turns into a complete sham instantly.

Kick them out is the only option if they go ahead with the SL. You pander to these clubs and this is what you get.
 
We need to start putting new rules in place now such as wage caps, spending limit on players. Let's make the game fair. Share the tv money evenly.

We need sky on side tho,maybe a smaller deal, how much do the top 6 earn from tv deals? Take that amount off.
