Newcastle United, Everton will have extra support on Saturday

The arrogance of Manchester United and Liverpool will send more support to Newcastle United and Everton on Saturday.

The outrageous proposal that was drafted by Liverpool and Manchester United to restructure the Premier League and English Football League has been met with heavy criticism.

A general overview of what the owners of Liverpool and Manchester United proposed for the Premier League are as follows:

• 18-team Premier League
• Big Six to make decisions for the league
• No parachute payments for relegated clubs
• No League Cup
• No Community Shield

The complete list of changes that would impact English football can be read in the link provided above, but this proposal has caught everyone off guard.

The Premier League has reacted to this proposal and, from initial interpretation, it looks like they will not entertain this idea. The consensus model that has been in place for three decades gives every team an equal voice, and that cannot be jeopardized because two teams that are full of themselves think they can run the show.

Seeing that Newcastle United and Everton will go up against the two clubs that proposed this major shakeup next weekend, support for the Magpies and Toffees across England will not be lacking, especially among those who support clubs outside the traditional “top six”.

Everton currently occupy the top spot in the Premier League with 12 points from four games, and after today’s leaked proposal fans across England will hope Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez will continue their fine form against Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby.

The same can be said for Newcastle United as they host a Manchester United side that is currently in shambles after conceding 11 goals in their first three games.

The Magpies are coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over Burnley, and Steve Bruce would be doing millions of fans a favor by deploying attacking football to pile on more misery for the Red Devils.

The arrogance displayed by Liverpool for writing this proposal, and Manchester United for giving its backing is a stain on their reputations as football clubs. Nothing will please neutral fans across England more than defeats for both sides on Saturday.
