Takeover

Looks like the English game could be in line for a major change with a reduction of teams in the premiership scrapping of the league cup and charity shield match and a lump sum to the lower divisions of £250 million as a sweetener plus 25% of earnings for twenty five years ,but it will come at a cost as the top clubs will hold all the power in any new setup,  it would start when the present television contract ends probably leaving individual  to negotiate their own television deals .

That must end any notion of Rangers or any other team in Scotland joining the EPL.

 

If there were to be a greater reduction than two of the league members there might have been a chance of a new UK league of Fulhams, Burnleys, West Broms and the like ejected from the EPL and Sheffields and Birminghams etc from the Championship. They might think Rangers would be a desirable asset.

Rangers are a desirable asset even before this proposal and I wish it had happened before now - the migration of Rangers - not this half baked proposal from Fenway Group and the Glaziers.

 

The other teams in the PL would never back this as any two of them would lose a PL place and the parachute payments would end. Would be like turkeys voting for Christmas.
