Premier League statement on 'Project Big Picture' - 14 October 2020

Shareholders agree to work together on a plan for future structures and financing of English football

www.premierleague.com

All 20 Premier League clubs today unanimously agreed that "Project Big Picture" will not be endorsed or pursued by the Premier League, or The FA.


Further, Premier League Shareholders agreed to work together as a 20-club collective on a strategic plan for the future structures and financing of English football, consulting with all stakeholders to ensure a vibrant, competitive and sustainable football pyramid.

Open and transparent process

Clubs will work collaboratively, in an open and transparent process, focusing on competition structure, calendar, governance and financial sustainability.


This project has the full support of The FA and will include engagement with all relevant stakeholders including fans, Government and, of course, the EFL.

Rescue package for Leagues One and Two

Also at today's meeting it was agreed to make available a rescue package which aims to ensure that League One and League Two clubs will not go out of business as a result of the financial impact of COVID-19 and be able to complete the 2020/21 season.


League One and League Two clubs rely more heavily on matchday revenue and have fewer resources at their disposal than Championship or Premier League clubs and are therefore more at risk, especially at a time when fans are excluded from attending matches.


This offer will consist of grants and interest-free loans totalling a further £50million on top of the £27.2million solidarity payments already advanced to League One and League Two this year, making a total of £77.2million.

Talks on Championship finances

Discussions will also continue with the EFL regarding Championship clubs’ financial needs. This addresses Government concerns about lower-league clubs' financial fragility.


Football is not the same without attending fans and the football economy is unsustainable without them. The Premier League and all our clubs remain committed to the safe return of fans as soon as possible.


All 20 clubs eh!!united and scousers shit the bed then.

Think they might have only 'kicked the can down the street' a bit though?

It’s the NFL model and that’s where it will eventually end up.

no relegation and no new teams unless they pay the fee to "expand" the league...

 

[Don Diaz]

I mean I don't want to sound 'pushy' but we've got a game on Sunday @Dorset and we haven't got a matchday thread yet? I'm assuming you're well and have fully recovered from the International break, haven't contracted Covid Catalunya 19 or anything else nasty.....if not can we have one please. I want to share my infinite, expert, football opinions with others and Maureen won't know what to do until he hears from me.

Thanks in advance.

Premier League’s pay-per-view model raises questions of morality in a time of crisis

Against the backdrop of huge spending in the transfer window, the £14.95 price point feels all the more opportunistic during the pandemic

[Style And Glory]

Ahh, you don't want to wish people to get hurt.
I'd prefer to beat teams that are at full strength. Now they have an excuse.

Injuries are all part of it, squad depth and all that....remember last season we were decimated

 

[Dave]

Looking at the way the league is shaping up, with everyone dropping points and nobody really getting a good run.....if we win today, I might, just might start getting a little excited. Why couldn't we do it ? I cant think if a reason if we can stay away from any horrendous injury or Covid crises. ..
Ah fuck it, I'm going to have a dream for myself regardless....

Thanks for the laughs mate.

Just how stupid are these cunts? Perhaps we should petition the EU to have the 2019 CL Final replayed on account of the scandalous handball that gifted Liverpool the opening goal.

I can smell the piss boiling...

 

[Dorset]

Brilliant!

What a whingeing bunch of cunts. But, I do agree with them, all the games they cheated penalties for last season should be replayed, all the games we got penetrated up the back door by VAR should be replayed, in fact every game played since VAR should be replayed. Not a fucking word from the professional victims of Liverpool when the decisions go in their favour, now they want vengeance and what in their tiny little minds is justice. Cunts.

It is nice to see in this stupid Twitter thread that they are having a pop at us - scared or what?

 

[Dave]

I think its hilarious. They're out there on their own...no doubts. The victims of everything and the perpetrators of nothing.....let them off and whinge away. I wouldn't give them another thought....

 

[J.spurs]

TBH I think more than a few Everton (and England) supporters could get behind a lengthy ban for Pickford.

Seriously, what type of cunt does that. What a hard man...!!!

 

[BrooklynYid]

I can't stand Pickford and think he should have been sent off, but I'd love to see him toss wee Sean a thorough beatdown.
