Why does Nicky ruin every thread he posts in with his bull****.

Kick them all out of the football league. There's no coming back for them now.

Leicester and West Ham can fight it out for the title.

6 teams promoted from each division and get rid of the rebels. They can go play their little league.

Statement from Everton

The strong statement is the first official word from any of the 14 clubs and does not hold back, saying: "Everton is saddened and disappointed to see proposals of a breakaway league pushed forward by six clubs.

"Six clubs acting entirely in their own interests.

"Six clubs tarnishing the reputation of our league and the game.

"Six clubs choosing to disrespect every other club with whom they sit around the Premier League table.

"Six clubs taking for granted and even betraying the majority of football supporters across our country and beyond.

"At this time of national and international crisis - and a defining period for our game - clubs should be working together collaboratively with the ideals of our game and its supporters uppermost.

"Instead, these clubs have been secretly conspiring to break away from a football pyramid that has served them so well.

"And in that Pyramid Everton salutes EVERY club, be it Leicester City, Accrington Stanley, Gillingham, Lincoln City, Morecambe, Southend United, Notts County and the rest who have, with their very being, enriched the lives of their supporters throughout the game's history. And vice versa.

"The self-proclaimed Super Six appear intent on disenfranchising supporters across the game - including their own - by putting the very structure that underpins the game we love under threat.

"The backlash is understandable and deserved – and has to be listened to.

"This preposterous arrogance is not wanted anywhere in football outside of the clubs that have drafted this plan.

"On behalf of everyone associated with Everton, we respectfully ask that the proposals are immediately withdrawn and that the private meetings and subversive practises that have brought our beautiful game to possibly its lowest ever position in terms of trust end now.

"Finally we would ask the owners, chairmen, and Board members of the six clubs to remember the privileged position they hold – not only as custodians of their clubs but also custodians of the game. The responsibility they carry should be taken seriously.

"We urge them all to consider what they wish their legacy to be."

Leading the way, well we have too, we're now the senior and biggest club. (we already was anyway, always have been)

I wonder if we can afford Van Dijk and De Bruyne?

[Cherie]

I feel sorry for the players in all this, there has been alot of fuss quite rightly made by the fans but the players are pawns in all this and have no say unless they upsticks and move on

[bitontheslide]

i think there will be a lot of transfer requests going in, particularly from those that have an international career. UEFA need to act fast or they will be all bark and no action

They're all millionaires anyway, I'm sure they'll get by in the short term. In the long term, they can find a job at another club. They may have to take a lower wage, but it will still be more than most people's.

That's hardly the point is it, its no different to having a job description changed half way through your contract in any employment, however well rumunerated.

I know some people think money solves everything, but many of these players have families and have roots around the Clubs they play for

Wolves are hardly in a position to talk after money-laundering their way through the championship

Lingard in on loan at West Ham

[NICKP]

Look at World Series Cricket in the 1970s a breakaway league for cricket where those contracted to play were banned from cricket

West Ham can buy him easily then since United are a dead team now

[Nicky91]
