It isn't going to happen. I must admit the sheer scale of the avarice behind the thinking leaves me cold, but a few European clubs taking on the might of Fifa, Eufa, and their respective domestic leagues is only going to end in isolation for the teams taking part.
Players will be barred from playing for their countries, and the teams involved will be expelled from their domestic leagues and cup competitions, which, in my view, doesn't leave anything interesting to watch. Playing European teams has always been an aside for me compared to the nitty gritty of playing domestic rivals.
If this does go ahead, I'll have no interest in it at all.
I'll not be paying £50 or whatever to watch a competition that will be boring beyond belief without any of the historical rivalries that are fundamental to the game being respected.
I'm disappointed we've agreed to go along with this. It's a new low as far as I'm concerned for our club.
