So it looks as if this midweek league will be made up of 20 teams 15 'founder members' who it reads as if will be permanent and 5 places each year available for qualification. The 15 founder members will get a share of £3.5 BILLION initially with a further £!.5 Billion for the running of the League and a share for the other 5. These 6 already have a financial advantage over most other clubs in the Prem putting them in a 'financial' league of their own, which already makes them virtually untouchable. What will another half a billion make them? How does that sit with the Financial Fair Play Rules? What effect will this have on disrupting mid-week games for the rest of the FA?

The questions go on and on but one interesting one is, is it just coincidence that Jose gets sacked the day after it is announced Spurs have signed up for the league, they are only sitting 2 places away from the Champions league with other clubs potentially qualifying by other routes? Not to mention the League Cup final coming very shortly makes no sense.
