That's quite likely what a lot of people said about Germany in the 1930s (I also despise the phrase "Whole Game Solution". Reminds me of that similar Nazi phrase).
As to whether it will or will not - maybe, maybe not. I would far sooner not even have it on the table on the first place.
What is worrying is that our own chairman appears to be, whilst not overtly in favour, certainly not dismissing the idea. If other chairmen feel that they too owe the EFL a debt, then we have a problem.

Little fear of speaking or not speaking, Ian? I guess it doesn't help that the AFT spat their dummy out, thus giving the club a legitimate "we had no-one to talk to" get-out.

If only Nazi Germany just required 8 teams to vote against it.
NONE of the Championship teams are in favour for a start. They don't want to be a division further away from the Prem.
Indeed; I trust everyone is doing exactly that?HC Green":240s1r43 said:
Oh, and add Oxford to the list speaking out against it

And when the EPL come along waving their wallets and shouting their promises, how many of those clubs will buckle under the weight of cash?
Let's just take it off the table now, once and for all.
Oxford chairman hits the nail on the head.
"It all comes back to what's the issue we're trying to solve? I don't believe fixture congestion is an issue for League One and Two sides.
"We need to find out much more detail on what's underneath the proposals and what's the real agenda behind them.
"I would say the single biggest issue for lower league clubs is the distribution of financial revenues in football is massively too far weighted towards the Premier League."
:thumbs:
So we're embarking on the biggest restructuring of English football in 50+ years... for what reason exactly?
The Football League ain't broke, and it don't need fixing. The Premier League does, but that will never happen because money talks.
