If this ESL does go ahead, the Prem has no other choice but to eject them, Shirley? (NCFC) - Rob NCFC, Apr 19, 13:34:47
- The premier league need those six clubs (NCFC) - Duck, Apr 19, 13:42:38
  - Just have to adjust to less money. Not insurmountable. The prem will still be a far (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 19, 17:12:21

        Appparently they will get more even from those few games in the ESL than they would (NCFC) - Rob NCFC, Apr 19, 13:53:27
        
        That's what their spreadsheets say, but what are those projections based on? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Apr 19, 14:46:07
  - Even if they stay in they'll be playing weakened teams in it (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 19, 13:43:45
