Just venturing a restrained guess, but if we do this and basically adopt the US model, that would mean:
- 18 teams in the PL with perma-lock-in, medals for attendance.
- Winning/Biggest clubs get first pick of the University drafts
- North-South playoffs
- Timeouts
- Stripey Refs
- Specialist subs just for free kicks and pens
- Extra-time multi-ball
- MVPs
- Better graphics
- "World Series of Football" (i.e. both North and South England)
- "Galactic Tournament of Soccer" (EPL and SPL)
- "Universal Battle of Kickball" (add Wales)
- "Pandimensional War of No-Hands" (Add Channel islands and any commonwealth within 3 hours on Easyjet)
Not gonna lie, that sounds awesome.
[Update:
La Liga president Javier Tebas said: "The authors of that idea - if they really exist, because there is nobody actually defending it - not only show a total ignorance of the organisation and customs of European and world football, but also a serious ignorance of the audiovisual rights markets.
"A project of this type will mean serious economic damage to the organisers themselves and to those entities that finance it, if they exist, because they´re never official. These underground projects only look good when drafted at a bar at five in the morning"]
