AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 How are the EFL able to control anything that happens in the PL ? They aren’t are they, they’ve just been promised a bigger slice of the pie if they support this deal. Not that I fully understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The part about Ashley getting more than 300m isn't that something that was agreed way back? Unless it's happening yet again (could be). I'm certain that Staveley said something about it a while back and that the consortium agreed to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feels like they shouldn't even be allowed to have this level of discussion with PL clubs without the authority of the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 -Terrible owner that will never leave. -Came close to winning it all in the 90’s but came up against a dynasty. -Publicly humiliated team legends. -Home stadium/area revered by many but is also charitable to opposition players. -Litany of awful managers/coaches/GM’s/DoF’s -Supporters and local media regularly accused of being demanding.

Whitley mag Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Liam Kennedy has been replying to a few people tonight on twitter. Can’t be arsed to copy them but basically ties in with what Mimms said earlier in week. Sounds like the consortium, maybe Saudis have put a timescale on this to be sorted.

If I hang on to what positivity I have left, I'd say that they must know what they are doing but on the face of it, it does feel like that would offer the PL the perfect opportunity to let this finally fizzle out.

Guess he just posted the information on the wrong forum all along Being wrong doesn't sound like him It's crazy to me that a team like the Red Sox, in a sport that commentators here constantly claim is dying, is still probably more valuable than the bottom 12 premier league teams combined. EDIT: I'm a red sox fan, but they are only the 3rd most valuable MLB team at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that everybody is hoping this it’s thrashed out, however if did go to court I would imagine we could be talking anything up to 2 years for it to be heard. At that point I think the Saudis would have moved on, so either it’s about compensation at that point, or it then doesn’t go to court. I agree though would seem a poor threat if PL know your not going to follow through with legal action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Talking of legal deadlines how is Mandy's case against Barclays going? Anyone heard? Good question. It was due to resume in early October but there’s been zero movement. Hopefully both sets of legal teams have decided to come to a settlement. That in itself could take weeks/months to be agreed?

LFEE Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If I’ve heard right on the radio this morning another T&C is the removal of all parachute payments. After googling this... How much is the Premiership parachute payment? In the 2017-18 season the Premier League paid £243m in Parachute Payments split amongst 8 clubs, and £100m in Solidarity Payments split amongst the remaining 64 clubs The £250 per year they’d be giving to the ELF a year would be £93 less a year on top of the abandonment of the League Cup. Surely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
