Good news. Considering it’s not replacing the premier league I don’t think PL clubs would have any problem joining it.
On the one hand, it’s good that we break the monopoly. On the other hand, I have a hard time believing that the clubs that started this have the interests of the sport as a whole at heart. It’s all about ring fencing the money to maintain their status.
Still not happening if they try and stick to the closed competition that makes it nearly impossible for new clubs to gain entry.
If there is fair qualification for all clubs then I have no issue with it.
Not sure that Premier League clubs can join it yet though as after the last debacle the clubs signed something daying they would not do it again or suffer severe consequences. They would need the majority of the premier league to agree to it and can’t see that happening.
