Looking at that. I fancy us.

Need a leicester wobble and chaga to be preoccupied with champs semi. What is their run like with the semis?

West ham next sat evening 3 days before the first leg, fulham home in between the 2 and city away the match after the second leg

Also need to be wary whether 4th spot is still valid for CL in case Chelsea win the CL and finish outside the top four while Arsenal win Europa. Can't believe I'll want Real to beat them (spit).

I'd love us to sign Saint-Maximin, he's a little live wire and just turned 24.

So would I. He's a decent footballer, very talented too.

That scenario with us 3rd and stadium thieves 4th would be hilariously sweet

Yes.

Is this European League thing really going ahead? If yes, I'm done with the sport.

Seems LFC are in the break away cohort. Disgraceful.

Or is it a powerplay, given the proposal put forwards earlier in the season that wasn't bought into, now we get this news...is it a 'listen to us or we go' type move?

Good

The 6 clubs should have pts deducted according to Neville.

Negotiation tactic isn't it? It's always been a proposed move when the clubs want to shake up things in their favour.
Leagues will fight back of course.

The Premier League TV rights for 2022 to 2025 will go under the hammer in the next few months. The outcome of that process could put the competition’s very existence at risk.

In 2018, the UK segment of the Premier League TV rights sold for £4.5bn, down from a £5.1bn high in 2015. The rights for the next three years are likely to demand a much lower figure. An increase in the value of overseas rights offset the fall in domestic packages last time, but with the global market in decline there is no guarantee of that again.

How much would you think their product would be worth without the big teams ?

I do love Sky Sports and their paid lackeys moralising about the inherent greed that is on display when members of established leagues want to breakaway and form new leagues in order to make more money.

Sure the traditional platforms (terrestrial TV, and the satellite and cable channels) may not have the appetite but with the boom in streaming it'd be foolish to suggest that Amazon, Disney or another of the big companies won't want to get further involved in the PL in order to boost their product.

The NFL almost doubled the value of their TV contracts in the last round of negotiations. Thanks in part to the streaming companies.
