Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Several foreign-owned Premier League clubs want to scrap relegation, according to League Managers Association chief Richard Bevan.If more clubs are sold to foreigner investors, they may have enough votes to force through the change.But Bevan hopes that a government-led inquiry can help prevent the proposal."We're very keen that the report is successful in helping the Football Association introduce a licensing programme for clubs," he said."Because there are a number of overseas-owned clubs already talking about bringing about the avoidance of promotion and relegation in the Premier League."If we have four or five more new owners, that could happen."http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15336398.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilko89 507 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Am I reading this correctly? They want the leagues to always have the same teams in them, with no relegation or promotion? If so that is hilarious Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Explain how a 20 team league with absolutely no teams changing doesn't become stale? Also it's nonsense...Never said a 20 team league would or would not become stale, your point was that you said this this would be the end of the EPL boom.....nonsence. The boom is still in its infancy and the next overseas and domestic tv deals will prove that. There is a lot of posturing going on just now, where that will take the EPL is the big question but the TV boom the big clubs have hasnt even started.

This will be replicated all through Europe and the top 18 or 20 clubs will breakaway to join a franchise league based on PPV revenue from home times. Think of Man U earning £100 million a game and decide if they will be playing Wigan and Swansea in 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Would be shit. I'm still opposed to not being able to get relegated from Division 3 here. If a team is shite then they go down. If they're good enough then they go up. Simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You're all laughing at the absurdity - and it may well be absurd - but don't expect football to do anything but continue to chase ever increasing sums of money.The history of football illustrates that it has done nothing but for decades.
