The thing is - its not just United - Barcelona are equally fucked as are a few others within the old guard. I think we know how this will play out - when the likes of United and Barcelona need more cash there will be a league restructure and they will simply help themselves to more of the pie at others expense. Watch this space....
The thing is though, these clubs are nothing without the other clubs in the various leagues.
If they all go off & just play each other, there may be a market for it amongst a certain type of 'fan' but for most people it would be boring & irrelevant. Evan most rags & scousers I know, wouldn't back that.
So they need the connection to domestic football. If domestic football just says 'off you go then' & refuses to have anything to do with them or buy & sell players to/from them, they are fucked.
The power still lies with the leagues across Europe & with UEFA etc.
