�If we lost Blackburn, Leeds, Ispwich and Forest� from the league then football would cease to exist might have worked in 95 even.

Lol if Amazon are out it's doa surely

Alibaba (dependent on Jack Ma being alive) or Tencent / Baidu would take it and set up an arm. Or they�d just do it themselves like the PL do for international markets.

Once Bale returns to Madrid all the hush money being paid to photographers re his hair can be plowed right back into the club though

Fans and players at Portsmouth and Wigan had no say in the dickhead owners who ruined their clubs, no one was crying over them when they got double deductions of points. Players will move to new clubs. Kane can play out of West Ham if he can�t be arsed to learn a new route to work

yes uefa fought tooth and nail to stop their cash cows leaving their competitions only to suspend them from their competitions, that is a realistic thing that will certainly happen

If the 12 stay, what�s to stop them doing this next year?

It's only the young players in academies that might face cutbacks or closures when the teams are booted own to the National League that I'd feel any sympathy for. The rest is just the life of a normal footballer.

For the London based clubs they�d still be within catchment of six or seven academies, same with the Manchester based ones. Hard lines for Liverpool fans playing out of Everton though.

Some of the statements say they're working to reshape the idea not that it's dead. Pep spent more time blasting UEFA than the super league. It's not going away, whatever the Sky pundits said last night.

That�s what I mean. Either the FA�s cut them off at the knees or they end up in the same situation again and again. If these clubs are so super wonderful and popular, they�ll easily rack up 70k gates playing Accrington and Crewe.

The various bodies that allowed the likes of the Glazers into the sport need to take measures to get them back out. Anything else just fucks over the players and fans.

Team all fly to games anyway, Glasgow isn't a meaningful distance further than Newcastle once they're already in the air.

It�s also closer than Southampton to seven clubs, geography won�t be an issue with it

I'm way late on the "Old Firm to the Premier League" thing, but when I first saw it in the wee hours of the morning here in the US I think the actual original source on that was The Sun so I refuse to believe it's anything other than a giant load of poo poo.

It�s been talked about for years, hence the;

I've always been under the impression that Celtic and Rangers in the Premier League is something Celtic and Rangers want and basically nobody else.

More the money than the league, and because pub bores need arguments. Supporters of the other clubs are more fans of the idea, though in the great tradition everyone backs scottish football against �tinpot farmer wouldn�t beat Bournemouth� shite.

The danger with over punishing on a first offense is you are essentially forcing the clubs into the Super League and obviously the idea of 6 of the richest clubs in the league being suddenly gone is a scary one.

Two seasons of Prem money and people would be swapping their Spurs tops for Wednesday ones.
