Then the Champions League (European Cup to me) becomes the equivalent to the FA cup and no one is really that bothered about it. Put the top 20 clubs in Europe into their own league and you'd still end up with 'The Big Six'. It would be the same but different. Football is better the further down the pyramid you go up to a point in my opinion.

Without the big six no tv companies are going to care about the teams left behind in the English prem . The tv deal for them will be peanuts.

Whatever happens the notion of the big six is laughable. In reality Arsenal, Man Utd & Liverpool have an argument but Chelsea and Man City do not have to look back too far in their history to reflect on the fact that had the big six of yesteryear taken the European route they may well still be playing at grounds like ours on a regular basis.

Spurs are my “premiership team” but we have won two cups in 20 years and whilst now having a good team have spent many a season in the lower echelons of the premiership. Who knows a rich benefactor and Everton, Newcastle and Leeds become part of the big six then what.

Have to admit IMO money has ruined the game at the top level and where do fans and family fit in with 8.00 pm kick offs on a Saturday night?
