Been thinking a little about this if we did decide to withdraw or were excluded.
Might be missing the bigger picture here.
Uefa doing the G14s bidding is because they know the only other option is a threatened breakaway, having their grubby noses removed from the trough.
Perhaps it is not the big boys we should be trying to win over in all this?
If Abu Dhabi was to bankroll an annual tournament which was invitational, but only to those OUTSIDE of Arsenal, Liverpool, United and Spurs, we would start to balance the scale on our favour.
Say ten teams who receive a flat £5m participation fee and a sliding scale of merit payments based on how far you progress in a round-robin? With a winners prize of a further £10m on top?
The tournament would cost around £60m a year to run, which is chicken feed compared to the fines and restrictions Uefa will continue to enforce.
If these teams can collect money this way, they would also collect improved results in the Premier League, threatening United, Arsenal, Chelsea Liverpool and Spurs' ability to nail down the top four every season?
The Premier League clubs all have to vote on various issues, if 15 of them need us, more than they need THEM, the whole dynamic of the top flight chances.
At the moment, England's old guard call the shots, but this would level the playing field.
Imagine a season where Liverpool or Arsenal finish outside top four and aren't invited to our tournament.
It would not be long before Uefa would start to ask questions why the likes of Chelsea and United were not in the Champions League as regularly?
Our owners can actually arm other Premier League teams to start impacting results on and off the pitch.
