My concern are the rumours of Spurs in "talks" with their American investors, and if a takeover happens should we be worried about the vote each club has in changing rules. Our owners are on a lonely road compared to the Americans involved who all seem to have their own secret meetings and all are included and leading lights within the "hateful eight". As supporters should we be worried that a vote for a closed league could could come up soon and is their anybody outside of the Premier League who could realistically oppose and stop this happening. Just looking for a broad and different peoples views on this.

The US owners are trying to take over the PL because it is the biggest cash cow in world sport. They will destroy our game if they get their way. The media are still being played by the cartel clubs because of the ongoing smear campaign against our owner which is a deflection tactic.
There is a huge opportunity here for City to improve their reputation by coming out against the cartel clubs. We made a big mistake getting sucked into the ESL plans (though we had little choice given the way UEFA have treated us). The next few years will be critical for those of us who love football.

Shit idea but I'm interested if only for the practicalities of which matches would be played abroad and where. United v Liverpool in the Far East would be a sell out but which team would be denied home advantage? Would City have to play our home match v the scousers in Scandinavia thus giving them 2 home games ? The idea stinks, of course, which is why it will have legs.
