SweeperKeeper Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just now, Ritchierich said: It sums it up when the article on the BBC is next to the one on West Ham trying to close a £30m deal for 1 player from Brentford and no doubt at Christmas numerous PL clubs will spend more on a 20 year old Diego Scorchio than they are collectively offering the EFL!

Worcester Owl Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 4 hours ago, Dave_Og said: It's said to be close to unanimous I L1&2 so can't hold him too responsible The Chuckle Brothers and Knacker are useful idiots where Project Big Picture was concerned. The fact that these clowns and the other L1 and L2 chairman are so desperate for cash that they would agree to whatever bribes Liverpool and United were dangling doesn't alter the fact that the plan was contemptible, as was the EFL's knee-jerk enthusiasm.

Anybody any idea what the point in that was?? According to David Conn in The Guardian: "John Henry and Joel Glazer were not on the Premier League video meeting to promote the Project Big Picture they worked up in the US to reshape English football, or to take the flak from its shooting down by the other clubs. Despite the Premier League’s emphatic statement that the plans “will not be endorsed or pursued”, Liverpool’s owner is said to regard it as a win that the 20 clubs have committed to a strategic review, in which some of his proposals will inevitably be discussed."

Well I'd imagine the clubs in the lower half will not be happy about an increased threat of relegation or losing their parachute payments. What I think this is, is a trojan horse for the likes of Liverpool and Man United to break up the collective bargaining agreement to try and get their own tv deals like Real Madrid and Barcelona do.
