Has there ever been a more universally derided idea as this?

Usually even the most odious of ideas has at least some defenders and apologists, it seems these owners are pretty much completely isolated. No way this comes off if everyone keeps the pressure on.
Them and MalG.



I think there is some consensus that its already done and dusted. The owners are on the other side of the world oblivious to the noise and they’ll just ride it out.
 
It will never get that far.

The Premier league will have a meeting with Sky and BT for the next TV rights deal that starts in 2021 and they will say "We are replacing City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool with Norwich, Watford, Swansea, Brentford, Barnsley and Bournemouth, how many billions can we get per year?"

And sky will say, that sounds like the championship, in fact about 3/4s of the "new Premier league" have been in the championship under the current rights deal. and we pay £120m per year for the championship so it will be in that ball park."

And then the clubs will say, "gee that's a lot less than £3Bn a year isn't it? I'll go bankrupt if that happens"

And then they'll vote to keep the big 6.

If the Super League happens then I’d imagine the breakaway teams will ultimately resign from the domestic leagues anyway in the next few years.

The Super League will then become the only league these teams are involved in, with its own cup thrown in as well to mix things up.
 
Yes but the rules and laws must be very clear and laid out for anyone to read. It it's perfectly legal to withdraw from the champions league and set up a separate competition people can hate it but legally not stop it. They'd be nuts to just do it on a whim. They'd go more slowly, ask for talks, state their demands/intentions.
It contravenes premier league rule 9 for a start.
 
"As in American sports, referees will have a microphone so they'll explain their decisions to the public in a totally transparent way and there will be an alternative VAR".
“Er I have it to the team in red boss, that’s right init?”
 
Not a bad analogy but the WDC (now PDC) didn't restrict it to just 16 players. As an aside, 2 of the 16 bottled it and went back to the BDO. Wonder if 2 of the 6 will...
think it was 16 or 19 that defected and a massive legal battle ensued. In the end the players won and it’s gone on too be a great success. Nearly all successful BDO players defected over the years, very few went back. Love the darts from being a kid and lakeside was brilliant but fair play too the PDC Ally pally is brilliant and the quality of the darts is definitely higher.
