I guess they'd have to fall in line with the FA on many things, to comply with UEFA. If they went completely rogue, UEFA could perhaps expel them or not recognise them as a member. Not sure if that would apply to the entire FA, or just the PL, but in such a mad hypothetical scenario, I guess that would make the Championship the top league by proxy. Everything has to be sanctioned by the recognised national governing body but I'm quite surprised tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English Premier League was set up under the organisation or jurisdiction of the Football Association. The FA have a Golden Share which can be described as a veto. So while it's TRUE that no final decisions have been made what the FA says will happen. And the FA have said there WILL have to be relegation.

BelgeJambo Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Wasn’t there a chairman a while back came out and said they can actually survive without gate receipts? Sponsorship and TV is just phenomenal down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponsorship and TV is just phenomenal down there I think this is the case with a number of EPL clubs. We have season tickets at Crystal Palace (capacity 25,000) and I'm sure they said that income from gate receipts was a relatively minor consideration compared to income from TV and sponsorship.

Gate receipts at Bourmouth are only £5m with the other £10m hospitality / sponsors / shirt sales etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE16 3LN Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 There was a survey two years ago, which I can't find, that claimed all but a few EPL clubs could survive without fans. I remember there was a contrast with Sheff UTD who were in the championship, where gate receipts were 70% of their income. More relevant perhaps is the fact that the EPL are paying back £340M of all TV money because they haven't been able to fulfill the agreed contract. While its less than 10%, I wonder how much the SPFL will have to pay back for not completing 20%(at least) of all games? Just shows how much Doncaster shafted clubs to get 9iar.

The way things are going that will be; worst case:- “used to play football” best case:- “used to play away games in Scotland as well as home games” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
