RE: SUPERLEAGUE! (tm)Am I alone in - err - not really giving a shit whether this goes ahead or not? The top flight seems so far up its own money making cavity that this seems (a) unsurprising and (b) almost inevitable? Or is this just a cynical standard ploy to for the top clubs to leverage more £££ out of the next TV rights deal?
is the English Premiership in a similar situation to Scottish Premiership where a lot of the lower table clubs rely on gate receipts from the Old Firm games to keep them going through the season? Will the lower table English clubs struggle financially as a result?
Independent on whether fans like the idea - is there precedent for attempting to legislate to stop private businesses undertaking a new enterprise? From what I've read I don't like the sound of it, but at the same time I can't see how it could be stopped?
This goes against the spirit of the game.
