Topic: If Liverpool fucked off the Premier league, how would you feel?

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

No, it didn't die. It was wounded. You're the one proposing a coup de grace.

You're like this: There's a fox in the henhouse! What shall we do? I know, let's burn down the henhouse, shoot the fox, and replace it with a pack of wolves. That will be fine.

And for the I-don't-know-how-manyth-time: if the Oil states own our government, do you really think for a second that this idea of yours has a chance? I think you overstate their influence, malign and widespread as it undoubtedly is.

Years ago I'd have been well against the idea of the ESL, but the Premier League is a complete joke.

IF the PGMOL isn't utterly corrupt then they are absolutely the worst officials I've seen in any league and at any level. When you watch lower league or even non league games, the referees show competence and an understanding of the game and you can see the decisions they make all make sense in the context of the game.

PGMOL officials are fucking rank at best, cheating fucking gobshites would probably be a fair assessment.

Doesn't matter who is playing, but the officials decide most games with their joke refereeing, bias, shady VAR decisions and absolute fucking incompetence/outright cheating.


I'd personally be delighted if we fucked off this shithouse league and formed a leage where football is king and not these dickheads.

When you add the outright, sanctioned cheating of City and their free pass with the media then this decision becomes a no-brainer.

Fuck it off. Cheating c*nts.

It's another classic example of Problem - Reaction - Solution .

Ta Ra !

The creation of the ESL has nothing to do with the government. Or the FA. Or UEFA. Or FIFA. Once you get that part, you will understand my idea better ...

I’m leaving with Jurgen to be honest

GOODBYE ALL

Forest deducted. Everton deducted.

But 115 charges? Nothing.

Let’s take Arsenal, Utd, Leeds, with us and rejoin the EFL. Bring back the First Division.

It's almost as if City's case is way more complex with much more forensic analysis needed before the league are comfortable they have what they need to tackle City's army of lawyers.

I’m all for the forensic analysis. But we all know the status quo is just going to continue.

I wouldn't be bringing Utd with us though.

There was a huge discussion on this in the Newcastle thread recently, and a lot of posters said they would take United with us.

You need to as they have about the same size of the TV audience as we do. If they stayed in the PL, then too many would still watch - to kill the PL, us, them and Arsenal need to leave

[GreatEx]

Why would you not want to take one of the big non-cheating clubs to the breakaway league?

[Barneylfc∗]

I'd take United. But they would have to play in front of an empty stadium until their scum grow up.

[Lynx the saucy mynx]

This would be the best time for a breakaway after yesterday’s news. While I am glad there will be no more replays, the viewing experience of the Premier League is going to get very stop start.

Think of how football stops for an international break every few months. Now imagine that on weekends of the 4th & 5th FA Cup round of games too.

Not to mention the abolition of a winter break.

I would love to rejoin the EFL, form the English First Division and restart the pyramid with an equal chance for all teams.

That would be great, but it's never going to happen. The Premier League is so far up it's own arse that it's never coming out.
The top clubs, Liverpool included, just want as big a piece of the pie as they can get with no regard to the impact on clubs further down the pyramid.

I hate how we are a part of it. We could have really used our name as a force of change. Even got some of the others to join us, while leaving Newcastle, City and Chelsea behind.

Yes we could. But we're owned by people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. And they're the good guys, compared to the oil state clubs. FSG and the other big non-state owners are only interested in making money. That's their first, second and third priority and everything else is just noise to them. The good of the game, or supporters, or society, or anything else don't come into it.

[Mister Flip Flop]

The fact is if Liverpool and United made a joint decision to move away from the prem it would die a death and the money and eventually the other non sport washing clubs would follow us both into whatever league we went with.

Neither us nor United have the financial clout to make this idea work. It would be a disaster.
