If the ESL had no real impact on the PL, I probably would. But this is going to make the PL utterly pointless.
It’ll be pointless for the Super League clubs to try and win the PL because it doesn’t matter where they finish in the PL as they’ll always be in the SL. And it’ll be pointless for everyone else because if any of them finish high up in the PL, or even win it, it won’t matter because they aren’t in the SL and probably never will be. SL teams will earn so little from the PL that they will either use it as a reserve league, eventually change it so PL is midweek and SL gets all the weekend slots, or breakaway from the PL completely.
Or the SL clubs would be so rich and have such good squads that no other clubs could ever break into the Top6, again making the rest of English football pointless.
People haven’t thought enough about the effect on our club within this competition, scrub that it’s not a competition, or the effect on the domestic league for all fans including ours. Any extra money will be of no use to us. We will not gain anything from this from a selfish point of view and will fuck up other fans enjoyment of the game as well. Our owner has dropped a huge bollock here.
I think it will be dropped because the alternatives are not good. No one has even mentioned what happens if any of the European leagues grow a pair and expel teams. This would complicate everything hugely.
