VillaJ100 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I wonder if this will go the way of tennis. Before 1969 all the top tournaments were amateur. If you wanted to make money, you had to go pro. But pros would tour the world in a group of like 8 of them playing each other 100 times a year. They made money but hated it and it was shit.

I'll go Craig Gardner instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 According to rule 8.6 of The Premier League rulebook an expulsion from the league needs a majority of no less than three-quarters. This totally explains Tottenhams inclusion. The 6 clubs prevents them being expelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the rules also say if they wish to participate in any different competition they would need Premier League approval, which if they don't get then they would have to walk away on their own volition?

No relegations, 6 teams promoted from the Championship, and a totally unpredictable special vote on Premier League status to close out the season. 20 votes vs 6 = See ya to the "big clubs" and we've already sorted out 20 for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
