Wonder if Man City will go for this if they get relegated to the conference for breaking FFP?

I agree in that there is a lot that needs to be improved in the model we have at the moment. However in my opinion the ESL if it happens is certainly not going to improve things it will just put more money in the pockets of the few.

The game is gone without the fans. I just hope that those clubs that do break away are banned from all domestic football. They can't be allowed to have their cake and eat it

Blimey. What are "those" teams breaking away from?

Nothing.

It's just plans for a midweek European club competition. Why the hysteria?

Not sure if serious. It's a closed shop competition for owners with the deepest pockets and nothing actually to do with true sport. It's the beginning of the end for the game

Ban them all

They (A22) have already said that there will be promotion and relegation between their leagues.

How is that "a closed shop"?

With respect, that is an assumption. It is far too early to say.

I mean, who are A22? What exactly is their business model? Who is backing them financially? Also, is it actually possible for anyone to extract more money out of football than UEFA and FIFA are already doing?
