Clearly, a group of very rich men want to create a global super league and they are starting with Europe.
To do this, like magpies, they have invaded certain clubs and made them rich and powerful and beyond reach of other clubs. Now, people like the Glazers, Henry, Kronke etc are ready to move to the next phase and create a global league.
FIFA are abetting this with the idea of a Club World Cup to run alongside the World Cup. They want the Nairobi All Stars to play the Merseyside Reds. They wouldn't care if Spurs and Arsenal merged to form 'The London Pistons' if it meant creating an all star team who could play the 'New York Megatrons.'
Sadly, in this globalised world of greed, I think it will eventually happen, and perhaps we are best just letting them go. Even more sadly, and fledgling all star league will be a success. Everyone on this board is older and more likely to grumble and stick to the old traditions. In a world where kids are embracing global e-sports, the idea of a place where global galaticos meet to fight it out is highly appealing to them. Amazon will sign up and the global distribution will start.
It all means that local teams will suffer. The money will flow out of the game towards the top (there is only so much of it about) and the Port Vales, Yeovil Towns, Portsmouths, Sunderlands, Notts Countys etc will go bust, dragged down by debt or lack of revenue.
The money men have stolen the game and there is bugger all we can do to stop them.
