Copied and pasted from my comment on The Baggies thread on the same subject.
If this announcement (no, not the one from Spurs about Maureen) had been made on Thursday morning 18 days ago it would have been more believable.
Still, I look forward to the day when Barca and Juve fans say they are bored with playing against little English clubs that never win anything or are at best only ever mid-table (like some of them aren't already). We want to play against the best teams all round the world every week, not in this tin-pot competition.
The "big" clubs cream off ~80% of the big deals now, though at the time they formed the Prima Donna League to wrestle money from the FL, FA etc. they didn't dream that The Blue Mancs and Chelski as examples would find another way to get rich quick and also want a share of the spoils.
A deal that is worth 20% of the current Prima Donna league deal will still net the remaining EFL clubs, as they will surely all become again, the same amount of money which is enough to get by on when you don't have half a dozen clubs paying a bunch of guys £100's of £1000's a week to kick a bag of wind around or just sit in the stand.

This is the end of football as we know it.
