Premier league reduced to 18 teams, 2 of which will be Celtic and Rangers. So assuming they still have 3 promoted from the Championship that means they'd need to relegate 7 teams in one season.
3 would go the championship. 2 would go to the championship and be replaced by Rangers and Celtic. 2 more would go to get the league down to 18 teams.
Championship would completely need to be restructured or you'd have a ridiculously oversized league and it'd filter down through leagues one and two as well.
Given that 14 PL teams need to vote for any changes within the league, how many of the clubs do we think would vote for this? The bottom clubs wouldn't as they'd be giving up a seat at the table. I'm not convinced the top clubs would either as with the size of Celtic and Rangers, once they both got up to speed and improved their squads off the back of the additional Premier league money, within a few years the big clubs would potentially have genuine rivals for the European spots.
It takes some fucking nuts for Perez to claim that the big six in England (in reality the big two of Utd and Liverpool plus whatever London club is in the ascendancy at the time and the sugardaddy/money laundering/whitewashing-owned clubs) and the big three in Spain (who at any one time are really the big two plus whichever basket case of a mid-tier club there are willing at the time to load themselves up with more debt) are actually hard done by compared to the other clubs (who he asserts 'make money whilst the big clubs lose it')
In a long line of Real presidents, he truly is the most delusional - which is some feat.

i cant believe him saying that the big clubs lose money whilst smaller clubs make money isnt obviously an own goal for him to make. Like, aren't you the president of the football club and the one responsible for losing money?
I think people are underestimating how big Celtic and Rangers are. No way would they be relegation candidates, would be challenging for Europe after a couple of seasons with more Sky money
Depends on the calibre of the player they'd be able to attract
If they're in the Premier League for a few seasons they wont be in the Champions League straight away which would be a big turn off for players - Newcastle already struggle like StackitSteve says as players seem more eager to live around Manchester or London, would Glasgow have the same issue?
Not to mention that they cant go signing League One players and expect to be challenging for the league either
This, the inability of getting into the Champions League will have an effect on their player recruitment, and they'll be in the same death spiral as Newcastle or having to spend beyond their means to keep up with club with wealth benefactors like Villa, Leicester and Everton who are also going for one of the top 4 places.
Rangers and Celtic look massive in Scotland, they look mid sized in England

They could always spend a bit less. If that means better managed clubs overtake them or challenge them at least, it is called 'Football'. Not 'Soccer' but 'Football'.

If he wasn't so obsessed with buying a 100m player every summer they wouldn't be in their current mess.
In a season when they signed nobody because Covid fucked them, they are top of La Liga and in the CL semis.
Surely Perez can be sued for defamation of character or something similar. He has repeatedly said that all 12 clubs are still working to make the super league work. The English 6 need to come out and distance their self from him, if they don’t then he could be telling the truth.
It's now being claimed Woodward resigned in protest of the ESL not because it failed wtf
I guess it's possible, that the Glaziers pushed ahead despite his advice and protests, but if that was the case then surely the time to resign would have been Sunday night, not after the whole thing had fallen apart.

There are rules about when his resignation could be announced as its a traded company so that could explain it. Yesterday it was stated that his resignation was demanded by the 14.
I doubt we will find out what's really happened for months, if at all.
It seems Katrien Miere was ahead of her time. We are not fans but customers. A lady ahead of her time.
So was @JamesSeed of this manor, Its just been on North West news that Bill Shankley’s Grandson has threatened to remove his statue from Anfield.
We've come close to that, in the Southall era. In fact it would have happened if it hadn't been so heavy (it's been mounted on a very heavy marble pillar).
Now is the time to rein these so called six in. They've been a pain for years. Demanding more money, more control and have flourished at the expense of the rest of football. Sorry Curbs, but his take on the situation on V.P. was the big six will just end up getting more money. If that's the case then the football authorities have let us down. The Big Six executives who sit on most of the influential committees have been asked the resign. Its now time to have a serious re-wind/re-vamp of the structure and if the Big Six don't like it they can join their friends in the E.S.L. and face the wrath of supporters and the rest of the football world. They have apparently been planning this for three years and if nothing is done it will surface again. Time for action (but I'm not holding my breath).
Rangers and Celtic join the PL and FIFA who already think us having separate international sides is weird, will push even harder for a unified UK side.

Some fans turned the Seed and Curbishley busts around to face the wall in protest when they realised they were too bloody heavy to remove. 😉

Next time we get a shit owner (hopefully will never happen), I think you should think bigger and take your whole stand back

So, the England team then?
With Tierney, Bale, Robertson, Ramsey etc.
I’d only have Robertson out of those. Juve fans think Ramsey is shocking, Bale hardly gets in a struggling spurs side and Tierney is no better than what we already have. Who’s the etc?
Interesting view from Jordan. White shows himself as out of depth as ever, especially when Jordan has a pop at Sky at the very end - Jim Boy doesn't like it....
the idea of a UK League is the same thinking as the ESL, and basically only helps two clubs at the expense of the rest. The idea that introducing clubs who are no bigger then Newcastle, Leeds and Villa into the league is suddenly going to make it more attractive is for the birds, and if you believe it I've got this bridge to sell you
Please make it Hammersmith Bridge as it’s beyond useless at the moment.

It simply will not happen.

Definitely nothing in the past that could tarnish their history.

If there wasn't he'd be called Ewar Woowar.
