And what has it got to do with Tracey Crouch or her review who Mel borrowed money from to buy PPS? What has that got to do with the problems in football?

Van der MoodHoover Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 As I understand from the BBC piece this morning, the catalyst for this review was the proposed breakaway of the so called "big 6". So what proposals does it make to address the imbalance between Premier league and the rest? How is the disparity going to be evened out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I noticed it was the Leeds CEO's turn to slag off the parts of the Crouch Report that would most impact on the PL trough-guzzlers - he almost went full Godwin, likening the threat of Govt Regulation to Maoist Theory and something you'd expect the ruler of North Korea. He said giving EFL clubs more money would simply see them "waste" more. I guess irony isn't his strong point, which is strange because he used to work for West Ham. Another 4 or 5 of these and they'll be onto comparing it to the Holocaust. The government should double the proposed tax on transfers, just to teach them a lesson.

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Could have been an easy win for the government, I'm no supporter of the conservatives but here is something that's obviously necessary, popular, won't involve huge government spending and can be given the "we're in touch with the regular folks who care about their football club and love the game". Ok, implementing it on an unwilling football industry would not be massively easy, but it'd keep Nadine dorries out of harm's way for a while.

Crewton Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Happy New Year all. The Sunday Times is reporting that Rishi Sunak has signed off plans to appoint a Football Regulator to oversee all English football, including the Premier League. A White Paper will be published this year and could come into force by 2024. I'm sure that the trough-guzzlers at the PL will lobby hard against the proposals once more, but this could be good news and a potential killer blow to plans for a European Super League, as well as bringing about the integration of PL and EFL FFP regulations. I'd like to see them ban multi-club ownership too, but that's probably unlikely. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, all the report says is "The regulator will also have powers to prevent clubs competing in breakaway competitions like the abortive ESL. Criteria for any new proposed competition will be decided in consultation with the Football Association and fans." They use the word "abortive" which might be an oblique reference to the court case you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether we end up with something in the style of the financial services regulator (most powerful regulatory authority in the non-communist world as an ex-CEO of mine put it), or something like Ofgen, which has been utterly useless for the consumer.

Zag zig Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Meantime, whilst nothing ever happens, a mate of mine who is an Irons fan, tells me his plucky little club, is in real danger of going out of business. Went in the Iron bar with him to our last league cup game there, seem to remember Knighty making a debut impact that game. The locals were friendly and every bit as passionate about their team. Small story stuff in the football world, being a conference club, but another town in danger of losing its football club. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/pressure-mounts-scunthorpe-united-potential-8050670 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Footballs completely on its bum. On one hand you have Bury, Scunthorpe and how we got fisted for *checking notes* spending an owners money to try and go up. Then you have Chelsea spending £100m on an average to good prem player. Forest splashing the cash (good for them). The problem is the top 6 don’t care about the other 90 odd clubs. The remaining 14 prem teams don’t care about the 70 odd other clubs. The championship clubs don’t care about anyone but themselves and so on. People cry over the super league but that’s basically what we’ve got now exactly there’s no other countries involved.
