If it’s true that JP Morgan is funding this then it’s done. That means the US government will be involved at least covertly, the idea of Boris standing up against Biden on this (which is what will happen if US interests are scupper) is laughable.

JP Morgan is not stupid enough to fund something that will end up illegal and them losing vast amounts of cash.

I mean, you can understand why the clubs want to do it, that's almost £500mn a season extra.

Where is the money supposedly coming from? Theorectical tv money? I am not sure but I am becoming more convinced now that this is a huge play by the football elite to strong arm UEFA to give them more of a share of revenue and prestige status (no qualification). We are just the pawns.

Why don’t we go the fucking whole hog and have 4 22.5 minute quarters and stop the play for advert breaks? Apparently the average NFL game takes 3hrs and 12 minutes to complete with 11 minutes of actual action and over 100 adverts screened and I bet football or ‘soccer’ heads that way. We could have Levy dressing up as Big Al from Happy Days serving $10 Corn Dogs and $8 milk shakes. What a farce

If it is then the play will be.

Big Clubs/Big money: we want something outrageous

UEFA: no you cant

BC/BM: ok then give us XYZ and we won’t.

Hearing the likes of JP Morgan getting involved means it’s a lot bigger than UEFA. If it’s a play for UEFA to change then it will be a carve up of UEFA.

TV rights and sponsorship I’m guessing, not even sky will be able to afford to bid for this, I can see it being PPV £15 a game

I agree but some of these clubs (Barca) are desperate because they are losing money. Some are just American and like the business model.
