All we need now is for it to be revealed that Nigel Farage was involved - possibly with no trousers on.All 6 English clubs out now.

Especially the people's club of Liverpool in my view.The damage of these clubs reputations will take years to heal. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the next UEFA/EPL meeting between clubs!
You can watch it on telly can't you, you've all got massive tellies and subscribe to the streaming services. Or on your phone while walking down the street. The big teams aren't really about fans turning up in person and haven't been for years. The new model probably works better for some young people as they don't have to go along on Saturday at 3 pm and can watch it whenever they want. However, to me it seems so bland and corporate, like going to see Coldplay at Wembley rather than some indie band at the Bully.
Love it if a founder got relegated. Bet they'd make a rule that it's the lowest non-founders that go down.Folk think "that`s it"??
They`ll be back...... and they`ll be back until they win.
ESL statement said "We will reshape........"
So an ESL will be formed with minimal promotion/relegation as another upper pyramid step.
Now that I could live with.it will still happen but just added to the pyramid
What an absolute load of arsewallop and utter waste of everyone's time.
Maybe on this occasion, but it would be naive to think that this is over. This is the first step towards what these owners want. It took a few good years and seasons for the PL to break away from the FL (it was in 1985 that Man United chairman Martin 'toilet peeper' Edwards said 'The smaller clubs are bleeding the game dry. For the sake of the game, they should be put to sleep'), so this issue will not go away any time soon. The ESL big boys have shown their hand for what they want and they'll plot again for another money-grabbing effort to create some sort of World Soccer League-style tournament.
Yep. Fitting in a post-Brexit world that British clubs will be excluded from a future European League. Plenty more continental clubs for the ESL to approach, and UEFA will throw more money at the ESL, which was essentially Perez' objective. Two-tier ESL coming, with that strange concept of relegation / promotion allowed this time.Maybe on this occasion, but it would be naive to think that this is over.
