Honestly, despite the current popular's belief that bankers are stupid, I would be extremely surprised if that is the case.I’m gonna take a guess and say they checked with each other, made a load of assumptions and didn’t question any fans. For if they did we surely would have heard about it
I guess we will see it very soon. If they miscalculated it, then they are screwed. England's league system has all the rights to put these clubs (when they come back) at the bottom of the pyramid.
But, I think that they have calculated well and this is going to work. There will be local protests and all that, but as long as subscriptions from TV audiences (that don't even need to be in the country of origin) will be high, it is all good from their PoV. And local fans will eventually come back, they always do. For many who have been waiting for years to get a season ticket, now it will be the chance so I don't expect the stadiums to be half-empty (except Emptihad, of course).
