This doesn't inspire more confidence

Premier League appears fractured as external pressures continue to mount in c/main@soccer.forum

At the time you're asking about, there wasn't a separate PL yet. Let's say that the PL has agreed to give up 50% of the money in the breakaway. Knowing the EFL, they'd be at the table today asking for more money.

Yes, clubs have gone through changes in fortune over time. Do you think that the PL should be giving 50% of the money away to the EFL or something?

I don't know what I would've said back then, because I'm not 50 years old. What I can tell you is that the EFL asks for handouts constantly and gets pet journalists to write articles about how it's so evil that the PL doesn't want to give them more money. When they do get more money, they constantly come back and ask for more.

The author was clearly happy when "the other 14" voted against the big six, but isn't happy when the voting bases aren't aligned.

The voting structure of the Premier League – with any motion requiring the consent of 14 from 20 clubs to pass – has in the past enabled the competition to stop the big six getting their way, but required the other 14 to act collectively. The votes this week suggest that this structure can no longer be relied upon.

Honestly, in terms of more money going to the EFL, people seem to just expect the PL clubs to give up more money whenever people ask for it. It's not going to happen unless they're forced to do it.

How is this counterattacks stat being measured?

Only Wolves (14) have attempted more counterattacks than Everton (13) in the Premier League this season and, while they are yet to score a goal from these efforts, it’s only a matter of time before they reap the rewards.
