Allan, not sure why you blame the yank owners of 2 clubs, doesn't matter where they're from it's the greedy owners of 6 clubs. This sort of thing has been talked about for as long as I can remember with only the "top" clubs changing slightly every few years. That was obviously one of the reasons for the premiership, smaller league than old division one equals more money between less teams.

This is not the 1st time they have tried to change things they do not have any idea of the mindset of english football, they only know the American model for sport.... they are businessmen out to get as much money as they can... which is exactly what this proposal will end up doing for them and the other big 6 clubs ? they want tv money to be distributed more in their favour very much way madrid Barcelona have in Spain and way rangers celtic wanted in Scotland! It will be a cartel as wont allow any billionaires to take over another club ......
is it just coincidence that the instigators of such a selfish money grabbing idea are from usa ? Where making money out of sport is a national pass time And are not bothered about 130yrs of English football history.....

I don’t think so. They aren’t stopping promotion and relegation.
They are talking about significant money for the EFL. Reducing the premier league to the same amount of teams as most top tier European leagues.
The FFP rules I have concerns about as it seems like they are looking to make it a closed shop.
