Title: EPPP Petition Post by: mightypalacefan on Friday, December 23, 2011, 14:34:35 hello all forum users
We are currently trying to drum up interest in a petition against the EPPP. There's a group called 72Unite over here: http://twitter.com/72unite who have set up a petition with the government. You can get to the petition here: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/21314 Anything that attracts 100,000 signatures has to get voiced in parliament. 20,000 to make the first page of petitions which means it’ll get media attention, 8,000 to make the second page. Its already on the first page of the Media Culture and Sport but needs 40,000 signatures to be the biggest in that department, 16,000 to make the top 5. We've had a couple of protests at Selhurst Park but there just doesn't appear to be any buy-in from anyone in power. This leaves it down to the fans to do something. The only way we can be heard is to get together as 72 football league clubs and try to get this noticed. I don't know if you guys have an academy that will be affected or not, but anything that can be done to promote this amongst the fans up your way would be a bonus. For those unaware of the EPPP, see here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15381652.stm Title: Re: EPPP Petition Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, December 23, 2011, 14:44:33 Signed...but can we have big Wes !?

Title: Re: EPPP Petition Post by: jonny72 on Saturday, December 24, 2011, 01:06:52 Not quite sure what the point of this is. The FL clubs discussed it, voted on it and agreed to it.
Worth pointing out we're basically talking about selling kids and clubs wanting to get as much money for them as possible, which seems kind of wrong to me. A simpler fixed price system will surely relieve some of the pressure on the kids which can only be a good thing. Think you also need to consider the number of players that get trained at PL clubs but end up going to a lower league club on loan or an a permanent deal for free.

Blackmailed into agreeing no less Jeremy said "No thanks" Title: Re: EPPP Petition Post by: leefer on Saturday, December 24, 2011, 09:22:20 Got my signature.
