See, those saying that it would be a disaster for the remainder of the premier league, i'm not so sure. In the short term, maybe, as the clamour for the gravy train kicks off, and the high profile sponsors who throw money at it because it's shiny and new, but look at the teams involved - would you really want to be involved in an even smaller feeding pool for the top-top clubs? The scam artists would still continue to scam and draw money away from the smaller teams, give it a few seasons and it would just become another, smaller premier league.
The only way it would work would be to elevate it to another level above, with even more high investment, even more huge wages, etc. which would, in turn, cost more to the fan and put the clubs at greater risk - if it goes ahead it will be a league for the top 1% of "fans" - membership of the league will be the football equivalent of a residency at a Vegas Casino.
