At the end of the day cash is king.
UEFA have diluted the champions league by being greedy fecks over the years and adding more crap teams just for more revenue.
I want to watch the elite play the elite, not watch filler games that include the dross of Lokomotiv Moscow, Olypiakos, Atlanta, Midjyland, Krasnodar, Rennes, Ferencvarosi (no offense). The champs league only gets going in the knockout stage and even then, there can be some dross left over.
This new league is exactly the elite level of teams I want to see play each other frequently, so I believe its a positive change!
Even if they broke away from the PL I would support it, I would rather watch United play any of the teams in the elite league than United vs Burnley (for example).
I know you guys have a massive passion for football in general and I understand your arguments, but for me football will be more entertaining with these changes.
As for the damage it will cause... what do you think the premier leagues formation did to the football league all those years ago... things change!
