Trust Bournemouth to be against the proposals.
Fucking scrubbers.

@McDonellDan
Waterford's players/staff were informed by the club today they were being temporarily laid off. Reaction from a Blues boss Alan Reynolds coming shortly on @IndoSport - he was surprised to find out the news from a player

The group who want no relegation have conveniently overlooked the fact that if the jeopardy of relegation is removed there are a large number of “dead rubbers” in the remaining games (basically any game not involving a team contending for a European place). Do they seriously think that (for example) Bournemouth v West Ham or Aston Villa v Brighton (I haven’t checked if these are actually still to play but they illustrate my point) will be remotely interesting to anyone if there is no relegation?
If they agree this the TV companies will want their contracts reduced because the PL has acted in a way which reduces the interest in those games.
Self interest has blinded them to common sense.
I get the argument, but the TV money being paid for these last rounds of fixtures won’t be impacted by whether or not fans are in the stadium |

Will impact the overseas sales tho. Those foreign channels won't want to pay for friendlies. |

Here’s the solution. If there is no relegation those 3 clubs who would have been relegated retain their PL status but, financially, only receive the parachute payments they would have received by being relegated. |

Like so much of this imagine it will depend on what the precise cdontract says betwen the TV companies and the PL, can imagine the TV companies will be against paying top dollar for what willl be on the whole fairly pointless friendlies, probably played at little above walking pace with little contact between players. |

Hasn't he been wanting to pull out of Waterford for a while now? |

I think this season was to be Power's last with Waterford... or something like that. |

I seem to remember him accusing them of conning him out of money or something like that and same issues caused them to be banned from playing in Europe. Imagine he's just refused to put anymore money in and as a result they have no cashflow. |

He was screwed over from what I read; given promises by people in the Irish FA that were not kept.

Either way clearly you wouldn’t plough anymore money in so this was inevitable. |

Yes. But apparently he was assured, by the Irish FA, that the legal issue in question was already covered. Only for it to turn out to not be the case. Apparently he went ahead and invested more on the back of the assurances he was given and ultimatley lost a fair whack as a result. Or somethign like that. |
