I’m understanding that Brendan but this is the format the ESL want to apply but that means every league complying and no sanctions against the competing club.Yes, it’s to be played alongside the domestic league, not a replacement. But with possibly 20+ games it leaves no room for domestic cups and UEFA competitions.
I can see the prem actually going along with this if it happens as it will be hugely devalued if they kick out the 6. Sponsors up in arms, and a massive drop in revenue filtering through the hierarchy.
It‘ll only take 1 league to hard line it and this potentially falls on its arse.
