Football authorities now kicking up a stink saying they couldn’t compete in domestic competition. Could get messy.

Ordinarily would chalk this up as a bluff but with teams losing a fortune due to Covid a one off windfall of £350m to join and a super TV deal would certainly soften the blow.

I’m a bit sceptical as to the long term viability of the product. These teams are big because they’re successful and they can’t all be successful in a closed shop league.
