This kind of thing has been coming for years.
Started off as 11 teams when the news broke, quickly became 12 and in the statement from the ESL will be 20 teams when it gets going.
As Hibeejim21 says its for the Asian market, they will either sell TV rights for Billions or will sell the games in house on a pay per view basis either way it will sell around the world. The same goes for advertising revenue, gone are the days when local companies sponsor the club its all betting companies targeting the far east.
Let them go, from the English point of view ban all of the clubs from playing in our domestic League and Cup competitions. Ban them from European competitions (not that they are bothered about that).
Ban any players that play in the ESL from playing in UEFA/FIFA organised tournaments.
I for one won't miss them, When we got to the Premier League I thought we'd made it but all it made me do was realise that the PL was actually all about the big six. I've been to Old Trafford..it's a souless place full of tourist football supporters in the main, the same applies for Liverpool and Arsenal.
Dissolve the Premier League, restructure the EFL into
20 team Championship
20 team League 1
24 team League 2
24 team League 3 (promoting 2 from the National Conference to make the numbers up)
Distribute any TV money more evenly across the Divisions
