mozo Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Could we prop up Yeovil as our B team, blooding all our talent there? I'm sure the Lansdowns would like two clubs on their books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'm not sure if I actually mean this, or not... But I think i'd rather we went bust, than became some Premier league teams official bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, IF this was ever on the table, I would imagine it would be aimed at L2 clubs and not the likes of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not this old chestnut again! The crap they regurgitate when there's nothing else to write about. It won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 That would be an absolute mockery of football. The endgame is Manchester City has 92 teams playing each other over the leagues with everyobdy else stuck in the conference and below. I would hate it even if it was us. The premier league comprises 20 Bristol City teams Bristol City A - Bristol City T all palying each other. Marvellous. I support Bristol City K.

054123 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Greed, greed and more greed. Just like Bolton, Brighton know that when their dalliance with the prem is over, they will slip back to where they came from. Just like Bolton etc. they’re desperate to think of any back door way to hang on to the loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Reminds me of the Bradford City owner when they were in the Premier League. He selfishly, actively, campaigned for a "closed shop" with no relegation. Greedy, nasty and they got their just desserts. There are too many clubs big enough and good enough to more than fill the second tier of English football to even consider having Prem "B" teams in the same league.

WayOutWest Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Football will die for me if this were ever to pass. How would the FA and League cup play out. Round 3 draw could be Chelsea B v Chelsea. There are enough well run non-league teams to take the place of those league clubs who cannot manage their finance's. However I am no expert on non-league football, I'll leave that to our "friends" at Moron FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Eerste, the B/Youth teams aren't allowed to win promotion to the same league as the A team....I think the place goes to the next non-B team. I presume the A & B teams are either kept apart in cup draws or the B teams don't enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Londoner Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Simon Jordan wrote a good piece in the sun, suggesting that the premiership and championship bundle their tv rights together with either a 70:30 or 80:20 split i can’t remember which and a salary cap similar to rugby and in return the parachute payments would be abolished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 All for it personally. Quick promotion through the play offs when this season finally ends - and then we can make Rovers our B team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise theoretically (using this season's teams) you could have 5th/6th as the 2 promotion places and 7th-12 as their playoff spots. Which seems ridiculous. Applied to last seasons Championship table would have meant only 64 points for the last playoff spot (in the extreme case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona B regularly did really well in the second division but wouldn`t have been allowed to go up. What would have been interesting is the completely unfeasible situation of Barca A having a totally awful season and getting relegated...……………......……..
