For Manchester United and Liverpool, the failure of their plans to restructure English football may have gone much better.
On Wednesday, the 20 Premier League clubs “unanimously rejected” proposals that would have given small clubs more English wealth in exchange for Manchester United and Liverpool (among others) gaining more power.
But guess what? It didn’t matter.
The other people who were looking on board enjoyed it.
Among the 72 English Football League groups, there is “overwhelming support” for projects from Lancashire to Kent, Yorkshire to London.
Manchester United and Liverpool’s plans to reorganize English football, handing over more in the process, benefit the less wealthy.
There is an immediate guarantee of 250 million pounds ($317 million) for declining league clubs, as well as more effective for major and women’s initiatives.
But Manchester United and Liverpool Americans are not the saviors of English game traditions.
They can simply be the known neighbors of financially troubled clubs like Wigan Athletic or Bolton Wanderers. But his disorders are recorded on American radars.
The two giants lifted a finger slightly when local club Bury went bankrupt in a pre-coronavirus world.
Ask United enthusiasts about their owners or submit a Liverpool financial report and the intentions are clear: those are assets that will expire.
The outbreak of generosity of Manchester United and Liverpool is motivated by self-interest and uses a centuries-old strategy: divide to win.
Manchester United, Liverpool and, in fact, the rest of the major six in the Premier League, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, have a problem: they can’t force other clubs in the league to do whatever they want.
The democratic design of the English First Division is a vote consistent with the club, so vital decisions must be received by majority vote.
As the gap between the deficient clubs has widened, the differences between the big six and the other have widened.
Scottish Premier Football League founding executive director and owner of Albachiara representative Roger Mitchell describes it in commercial terms as two combined products that combine; the six big “Hollywood clubs” with 14 network teams.
“There is the product for a safe audience of Hollywood clubs, [they are] global, much more aimed at a younger, celebrity-oriented audience.
“Then there’s a product around tradition, it’s about the community, it’s about the glory of beating your rival.
The challenge for Hollywood clubs is that they can’t get the rule adjustments they need to be approved because they don’t have enough votes.
Whether you’re looking to split cash based on league position or five replacements instead of three, the other 14 groups continue to interfere.
Project Big Picture would break this and give more voting rights to all six.
Turkey votes for Christmas, so this dynamic is unlikely to replace as long as the existing formula exists.
However, through an appetizing being providing the 72 outdoor Clubs of the Premier League, Manchester United and Liverpool have bought the majority.
The challenge is that these clubs don’t have the opportunity to vote on the factor itself, it’s just a tension they can apply to those who have the power.
When the story is leaked, conveniently on a weekend where there is no high-level football to discuss, this process has begun.
Before this weekend’s games, all the managers of the smaller clubs had their opinion.
We can only speculate on how Telegraph football editor Sam Wallace received ‘Project Big Picture’ in his hands last week, however, the point of detail suggests that the source is not someone with a punch to grind.
But this is the beginning.
The coronavirus pandemic should go back long enough to allow enthusiasts to return to football games in England this season.
It will be a blow to the declining department’s revenue whose business models depend more on viewers’ revenue.
There has already been a cry for government bailouts and a more uniform redistribution of high-level television revenue.
But none of the advice is as transparent and quick as Liverpool and Manchester United’s master plan.
The worse the stage for those clubs, the more big picture allocation will win.
Who wants to convince 14 well-funded Premier League groups when they have 70 desperate clubs across the country by their side?
When some of them start to settle, the noise generated by others will increase.
“There is no altruism in [football] of anyone, it will communicate about his own e-book and his own agenda,” Mitchell says.
“It’s completely cynical. He’s completely opportunistic.
Mitchell one or two things about how these things are painted after leading Scottish football for 4 years and conceiving the concept of combining smaller competitions across Europe into an ‘Atlantic League’.
However, it is very transparent at one point, Manchester United and Liverpool are involved in small clubs.
“They don’t care about them,” he continues, “they use their difficulties to gain a numerical advantage. And they’ve put forward an offer that, on the surface, is much less exciting than the headlines suggest.
“The 250 million pounds ($317 million) is a down payment, it’s a long-term press rights loan.
They basically say, “Look, we’ll sell your product with ours, it probably means we’ll have grouped and positive effects on value. This means you’ll make a little more money. “Oh, and by the way, we’ll give you a preview of that money.
If those who are showing up to worry about this right now is a matter.
His desperation is the explanation for why it may not be the last time we heard about Manchester United and Liverpool’s Big Picture project.
