Wow. Really?
In my view that's one of the worst things about American sport, that there's only one trophy up for grabs.
I guess you're not in favour of the whole Promotion/Relegation thing either.

Plus FA and other national bodies saying players can't represent their country. Would be a massive call for a player to make.
Not really.
Players will always choose the money, which is in club football.
Fifa also won't want to devalue the World Cup, they won't ban players.
(Say it with me) games gone.
Every single word he said I agree with.
This is my club my whole family grew up on. That my dad took me to as a small boy. Being destroyed by the greed for money by people who don't care about what a football club really means and why we care so much.
I'd see all 6 clubs have points deducted for this shit.
Has been for years.

But the trouble is that relegation promotion has become predictable. The big clubs are too big to go down and small clubs are too small to stay up. We all like the way it used to be but you can't stop progress. As I said that earlier, the driving forces behind this are the domination by select clubs in their domestic leagues. And if it's inevitable, I'd rather Spurs were in it.
100% right but if the superleague clubs win it will be the death of football
Surely this is all just a ruse to hold UEFA and their corporate sponsored to ransom? Agnelli and others trying to force through their CL changes by offering an even more unpalatable choice...
The bubble as is would probs burst yes but it's they face the short term issues or accept a life of never being able to win anything and getting smashed by 4 by every team in it
This isn't progress though, it's football for the rich making already rich people even richer.
I'd rather we weren't a part of it or better yet the proposal falls on it's arse.
Relegate all 12 of them. Not even overreacting. Hit the owners where it hurts them most. I wouldn't care, I'd still try to find a way to watch Spurs, even in League 2.
None of these clubs give one shit about domestic game going fans. They'd rather sell the 'global brand'.
Is there any timescale on this and when it would actually happen?
Are we sure that the media haven't just been played and the story has been leaked to gauge what the reaction will be?
Then, when it looks like nobody is going to accept it, they just turn round and say it was never going to happen?
There hasn't actually been any statements from any if these clubs yet has there?
When do we expect it to be either confirmed or denied?

They will probably invent some nonsense that the 3 best teams have to give their best players to the 3 worst teams to simulate a draft, or some other bollocks.
Players already choose the money...... Little niggles and injuries that prevent them from joining up with the squad just before a friendly.......
They are currently saying they will. Whether they stick to it is another matter.
If you have some countries (France and Germany in particular) who have not signed up there will be considerable pressure on FIFA to stick to their guns.
Whilst I agree there are a lot of players who will follwo the money, there are also a fair few who have principles.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.
More than anything I hope that as we are listed as reluctant, then the club will realise the scale of the backlash and withdraw.
Logically, as one of the top ten highest grossing clubs in the world and one of the PL's "big six", I'd have to guess yes. (Probably this has already been answered properly elsewhere but I'm not reading this all in one sitting)
It really is a fascinating game of Russian roulette between the clubs and the governing bodies.
Does anyone think that they'd actually have a world cup without the best players playing for their nations?
Or do we actually think the Premier League can stomach booting the 6 biggest clubs out the league?
