Everton and Newcastle are leading the push for the Big Six to be punished by the Premier League for seeking to join the defunct European Super League. The Premier League Board are considering their options and are under pressure to get the matter resolved before the clubs' end-of-season shareholders' meeting next month. As revealed by Sportsmail last month, the Premier League have also launched a new charter that all clubs must sign which commits them to staying in the existing European competition structures rather than forming breakaway leagues. In addition to lacking funds, many clubs are also finding themselves hamstrung by the Home Office's new post-Brexit immigration rules which has made it much more difficult to sign players from abroad. The iFollow experiment has been regarded as a success however, and matches falling outside the 2.45pm to 5.15pm blackout period will continue to be streamed on club channels.
