That's my opinion too. This crap has been made to save the spanish and italian clubs who are drowning in debts and particularly hit by Covid (Look at the board) and the big six owners saw an opportunity to make even more cash with zero risk. For the Glazers it's even more incentive, being guaranteed to cash in an enormous amount of money without investing in the squad.Laughable. The "Owners" (as they are, I suspect deliberately referred to) are clueless. This isn't the NFL where the players have no option but to be part of the league, the players will have other options if they wish.
Clearly the ESL is going to generate increased revenue - there's talk of £300 million a season. That's not going to result in every player being recompensed enough over and above what they earn now to give up International games. Some, obviously will, but ta lot of players will have their pick of other wealthy clubs.
What I don't understand is why Chelsea and ManCity gave in. They don't need it, they aren't in the board, and it's specially designed to counter them.
