Plan to restructure the game

[Bermudian Green]

It’s in the PL’s interest to keep the FL going strong. Where else would they cherrypick the up and coming talent for next to nothing? Where would they send their youngsters on loan to gain match experience?

By having their B-teams replace the clubs that will disappear forever. Make no mistake, this is the ultimate goal of those greedy bar employees at the top table.

 

[Age of reason]

But they don’t care about the English fans that actually go through the turnstiles of those clubs. It’s the revenue it’ll generate through TV worldwide that interests them. Hence playing in empty stadiums now.

Let the big clubs leave and take their existing top-six domestic mini-league with them. Let them compete in a no-relegation, no-promotion Euro League and see how quickly fans get bored watching a series of meaningless mid-table games 1000+ miles from their homes. Imagine how little Spurs or the Italian clubs would ever win in such a system. Treat the Euro-league clubs as selling a foreign product into the UK media market and hit them with taxation/tariffs that could be redistributed elsewhere in England.

The FA should then insist that any player wishing to represent England should be registered with a club based in the EFL or the national league of a recognised FIFA member. Let them then set up their own pointless all-stars franchise tournament and sell what remains of their souls to the TV companies. Then insist they add a stupid brand name to their existing club name, so that anyone born after 2020 will recognise that the newly established competition is no longer football as any Englishman would recognise it.

Yep, it’s one of the reasons I find the fake crowd noise quite sinister, because if the TV audience likes it then it could be here to stay as a substitute for real fans.

It’s all feeling very dystopian right now.
