Funny how it's all the overpaid presenters and pundits attempting to gain further publicity.

The ownership structure of clubs is the biggest threat. Football is a serious mess right now

posted on 17/5/21

Clearly, not all 'football fans' in the UK feel that the 'big 6' clubs dumping the PL at the peril of the FA Pyramid in favour for an uncompetitive ESL, is such a bad idea.

Can't sign that.

A petition organised by overpaid presenters trying to protect their jobs is not a petition to save football.

Absoloute nonsense, Just like the premier leagues attempts to prevent breakaways,

No different to UEFA, just trying to protect their own product. Its not some Charitable, Fans first bullshiiiiiit, Its protecting themselves and their income.

Sky pay Neville and Carra, £2m a year. Lineker gets something similar off the BBC plus the money he gets from BT.

Protectionism, nothing else.

How are the protecting their jobs. Linekar and Co would all work as punters for SkySports coverage of the proposed ESL for even more money they get now.

Am I missing something, Neville keeps banging on about the 6 clubs forming a breakaway league and leaving the prem but the Super league wasn't about leaving the prem, it was just another euro competition alongside the prem?

Ordinary fans, people who just love the game, not just people who have become wealthy through football.

Your misunderstanding of the proposals and consequences is staggering

I believe it was sold to some of the clubs as just an alternative the the UEFA competions, not a complete withdrawl from all domestic competitions which is what it would have been.

Ahh ok I am misising part of it, I must admit I didn't get into the details of it as I was busy with life at the time

It’s entirely possible to be both. Also out of 20’000 signatures there probably are at least some of that description

The winners of the ESL would have to play an extra 23 games a season I believe with their competition structure. Added to all the other competitions it was completely unfeasible they could stay in all domestic and UEFA competitions. They claimed they wanted to though.

Sky were never invited to negotiate, an American TV network would have been the main provider. That's why Perez was so keen about having ad breaks in the middle of each half.

How are they protecting their jobs? Or better, how is their job under threat? How would the ESL threaten their job? Do you think they wouldn't provide punditry on ESL matches? If it is not with Sky, somewhere else?

im using Sky as an example... whoever gets the gig to host it will still employ the same old familiar faces to present it. But with bigger wages no doubt.
