There's a Monday double header today on NBCS.  West Brom and Burnley have just kicked off.  It's never too early for a relegation six pointer!  Then Wolves and Leeds after.

for the English clubs looking to join, be careful what you ask for.  could be like Nebraska leaving the Big 12 to go to the Big 10.  big fish in the Big 12 that went to a new conference and found itself worse off.  i know Liverpool and ManU are big powerful clubs, but the idea that they'll be able to call the shots in a new league with Real Madrid and Barcelona and Bayern and PSG and Juventus might be wishful thinking.

I don't even think this is about the clubs calling the shots. FIFA is the one that would be calling the shots. Just like UEFA does with the Champions League.

The clubs are just pawns here. The real chess match is between FIFA and UEFA.

And now the Liverpool fan is blaming FFP which is run by UEFA who is run by FIFA or the same organization that is putting together the new league.

Not blaming anyone. Just saying "fuck it. If they aren't going to enforce the rules, why bother?"

Always great to see Americans leading the way in destroying other countries' traditions in a continuing thirst for more money

The timing certainly suggests that is the strategy.  The powers that be also understand that COVID is the perfect time to gain momentum behind this structure due to the financial pressure.  The involvement of Liverpool and United is significant because City isn't going to stay behind in the EPL if United and Liverpool are leaving.  That places huge pressure on the London clubs where there is only room for 2 of the Big 3.  The involvement of the other super clubs is easier because their domestic leagues are already sideshows to the Champions League.    

The league would supposedly consist of 18 teams from the Big 5 leagues.  

England (5)

United, Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Arsenal

Spain (3)

Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico

Italy (4)

Juventus, Milan, Inter, Roma

Germany (3)

Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke

France (3)

PSG and two of Marseille, Monaco and Lyon

On the bright side, Spurs and Everton might win the Premier League.
