Ed002
What do you think of the changes that are being proposed by Liverpool owners to PL etc?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - It is all to do with a commissioned report that the Liverpool owners had written by a third party in order to ensure certain income is allocated on the basis of more for the more successful sides and proposes reducing the size of the league to 18 (aligning with what UEFA and FIFA would like), scratching the League Cup and the Charity Shield. However, there is a larger plan for Liverpool to host a pre-season tournament every year that would require clubs to commit playing full first team squads. This clashes with the views of FIFA. The reduction is the size of the league makes some sense but will be difficult for the Premier League to pass. The FA are looking at tweaking Home Grown and Club Developed rules which could hit one or two clubs hard - not least Liverpool. It is one of a number of proposals kicking around - they come and go.}

what's your view Ed02 on the premier league helping out teams financially in the Efl during the current crisis . Premier league teams have all benefited from players found, nurtured by Efl teams.
{Ed002's Note - That is no more than a short term plan. It needs to be done but the EFL is far too large to survive.}

Ed002, with plans being put forward to reform the PL instead, are the big-6 PL sides not interested in a breakaway European Super League for the time being?
{Ed002's Note - The “big 6†are not involved in that - only three English sides are.}

Thanks for the info. I see a massive change in European football over the next 5 years, Ed. Do you feel the same?
{Ed002's Note - The situation remains largely as I have previously explained.}

Which three clubs are interested in the Euro Super League?
{Ed002's Note - You misunderstand. There are a group of "elite" sides that meet to discuss many things on what used to be a twice a year basis - but it is more often now. One of the things they discuss is the pan-european breakaway leagure - but not all of the 21 clubs who attend these meetings would join a breakaway initially. Of the 21 only three are English sides. It is unimportant which.}
