Jesus, that's an horrific statement.  

Could have saved having the CAPS LOCK key on by just putting an image of a middle finger up.

Quoted from Grantham_Mariner
Who is on the "Professional Game board".  Anyone know?

Who are the 4 EFL on the board, sounds like they were not representing the majority view of clubs in the EFL!

Mr T. Wat

The 4 EFL representatives are:

Rick Parry - former Liverpool and Premier League CEO (no involvement with EFL clubs)
Peter Ridsdale - famously bankrupted Leeds, nearly liquidated Barnsley, embroiled in financial scandals at Cardiff & Plymouth
Jez Moxey - formerly of Wolves & Burton, universally loathed
Steve Kavanagh - Milwall CEO

It strikes me as this being a bargaining tool played by the FA & PL. The EFL have obviously dragged their heels at the table (rightly so) so they’ve forced their hands.

Everyone will go back to the table and the EFL will be strong armed into making a shite deal (they’ve historically been flipping useless as well).

Dunno, but I'd imagine they are smoking fat cigars as they count a big wad of notes right now.

Looking at the statement, "Additional revenue opportunities" stands out to me. i.e. "You might get a bit more money, but most of it will go to the Premier League and bigger clubs, of course".

Have any of the big name football journos in the press said anything about this yet? No doubt they are too busy talking some boring shite about English clubs in Europe being shite. Perhaps they are going to blame it on those nasty F.A. Cup replays?

Latest quote from David Moyes:

Quoted Text
“I think the football schedule is too full, I think there are too many games. Something has to give in football somewhere or you may find it’s going to be very difficult. I’m not saying that this was the thing that had to give, but somewhere along the line, I think something will have to loosen up a little bit to give the players a little bit more room.”


intercourse you, Moyes. If you aren't competent enough to rotate your squad of 46 players (including 'Development team' players who nonetheless have a squad number), that's your problem, not ours.

So clearly the FA are aligning to the “too many games” bollox spouted by the top flight managers but don’t mind getting players to fly around the country & overseas to play meaningful international friendlies to just generate cash. Absolute numpties.

Henry Winter was on yesterday saying this is not the solution.
