    I think he's saying that the formation of the Premier League, and their breaking away from the Football League, was the first step in a process which has led to this situation. It was the big clubs wanting more for themselves.

    Their fans don't seem too chuffed either - dislike them as much as we do, but I did like this....

    Abramovich isn't in it for the money, nor are the Arabs. I imagine it was the Yanks that were the prime movers.

    If they do withdraw - then I hope that there will be an punishment.

    They are (were) behind a coupe, mutiny, treason; call it what you want.

    It was certainly a lack of loyalty and insubordination.

    This was only a play. Watch for changes to happen soon with team guaranteed CL places, less revenue spilling down to the serfs. Not sure why were ever on that list.

    Bizarrely amateurish. They clearly hadn’t factored in the universal reaction, and aren’t even prepared to milk it for a bit to try and extract a bigger cut from UEFA and the PL. Laughing stock.

    I think the reverse may happen, the 12 have been well and truly trashed, mainly by their own supporters who were told they don't matter. FIFA and UEFA have the opportunity to truly put them in their place starting with bans and fines as should the Premier League, the worm has truly turned...

    Time for EUFA to turn the screw, reduce the big clubs take and scale back the Champions league to champions and cup winners or runners up in either. Then perhaps the likes of Spurs and Arsenal who are so off the pace that they will never come close to winning the Premier League won't have a free meal ticket and have to earn their place at the top table.

    On a less controversial note fans of other clubs can now chant at the owners of the big 6 "Are you Tony Fernandes in disguise" as I have not seen anything quite as inept since our owners wrote the book all those years ago.
