Football League clubs revolt

[W10 RANGER]

AN EMERGENCY meeting will take place tomorrow to try to resolve the row over the cash the Premier League gives to Football League clubs and prevent a potential Championship breakaway

Don't think a championship break away is a good idea, though top 4 clubs in prem should go into europe

I think increasing the parachute payments gives the relegated teams an unfair advantage over the rest of the Championship teams. This does not create an even playing field.

The whole parachute payment thing annoys me, clubs should be encouraged to operate within their means. When you buy a player for example it should be cash up front otherwise you are IMO taking a player on credit. Players who get relegated with their clubs from the PL should have it written into their contracts that they should be forced to accept a pay decrease possibly in line with a CCC wage cap. Parachute payments has meant teams like West Brom have achieved 4 promotions to the PL in 9 seasons, its just not fair. Take Burnley for example, they imposed a 15k wage cap last season but IMO if they stay up or go down they are winners either way. Parachute Payments will turn Burnley into the next yo yo club due to their prudence and being well managed.

It sickens me to think about the paltry sums of cash teams can go into admin over at the bottom of the football league when you look at the money at the top of the PL. There should be a fairer distribution of wealth and in the case of parachute payments teams should not be rewarded for failure.

Extra cash should go to the teams who go up, NOT those that go down. Reward success, not failure.

Get rid of currency and form a kind of society that each does their fair share of contributing to daily runnings. Payment will be in the form of food, utilities, energy. All activities and leisure and sports will be free, and the players of each sport will be doing their role in society. The only thing I havn't thought of is how it is decided who does what job. there will be no one richer than anyone else and absolutely no arguments about payments. This can never happen, how could it be monitored. Money and greed is the **** up of humanity.

Agreed, but I'd go further. Clubs should be forced to prove that they can afford the value of the contract when signing any player too, or preferably, be forced to put the value of that contract (the players wages) into a separate account that is ringfenced. This would results in no doubt that the club can afford that particular player.

Also agree with Pete; this country's football would be a much more interesting place if the top five or six just left to go into a European Super League and left the eighty-six other clubs to draw up a system that would look after the game rather than individuals pockets.

If you believed the claptrap Murdoch's Sky sends out week in week out, there are only four teams in this country. What they really, really fail to see is that week in , week out, there are more fans interested in the other 88 teams that the 4 show ponies always at the top. Get rid of them and let English football get back to what it was in the seventies and eighties, when Forest, Villa, QPR (!), Ipswich and others gate crashed the aristocracy's party and Man Ure were not even in the top flight!
