    It all sounds fine and good until you get to the PL voting issue - as soon as you add the bit about the ‘6 long-term shareholder status’ clubs it’s hard to see it as anything other than a coup dressed up as reform.

    I’d call their bluff on it - tell them to take out the bit about shareholder / special voting status and they’ve got a deal. Their reaction to that will tell you everything you need to know about how much this is really about reform and the greater good.

    it's honestly not just because i'm a gooner, but i really can't get over spuds being included in the 'big six' being given some kind of special status

    why are they considered 'big'?

    they HAVEN'T WON ANYTHING - hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............. .......

    What the Spuds lack in trophies they make up in connections with the political class. Aston Villa are a bigger club based on trophies and so is Everton

    Spot on. The idea of some clubs having special rights is totally unacceptable.

    A few days ago (6th October) was the 49th anniversary of my first match watching the Arsenal. If this goes through with the support of this club, then I am finished with it because it would be the final sell-out. I want my club to be top, to win, to play great football - but I want it to all be done on a level playing field. It is bad enough with money being pumped into clubs from dubious non-Football sources but this would be the final nail in the coffin.

    sure, i don't support an elite within the PL either, but if there is one it certainly shouldn't include spuds
