    Whilst I agree with the sentiment of the "big 6" ****ing off to a super league, the "premier league" and all of the rest of pyramid would collapse as Sky TV money is inflating wages and transfer fees and SKY would drop the remaining leagues like a stone for the all new super league. Indeed the Premier League started only because the "big 6" wanted a bigger slice of broadcasting rights in the first place. If FIFA/UEFA wanted to stop it all they could but they are as greedy as the greedy clubs that want a super league themselves. Football will eat itself in the end.

    Unless the private jet is getting scheduled for Rio, there’s no flights to fortazela

    In theory it's also a flight that KLD could make if he'd gone to personally speak to Xhaka or that Sartori could make coming back from Uruguay.

    Yep.

    To me, the worst thing would be to either try and replace everyone, or let that young team, many of whom came up from League One, fend for themselves without any serious help

    I don't think we'll do any of the two. We needed more good players and we've got some. Maybe a couple more to come even. No promoted club can hope to survive without such help. Most of that young team will get their chance if they want it, and IMO, they will be needed.

    It's the fees and so on that are so startling to us as we've not seen them before. We can get carried away easily by all the noise. We can afford to. But I don't think those running the show will.

    KLD has asked them to make it dramatic as possible. Helicopter landing at half time with Juan picking him up and taking him to the jet. The jet is then taking off with red and white stripes like the red arras. All caught on camera by fullwell 73.

    Of course, but I think there's a difference between someone like Duran going there who can maybe play consistently in the Champions League and someone like Isak who can win trophies. Money doesn't appear to have been a driving factor in his career so far.

    Sky might, but another broadcaster would pick it up as its guaranteed viewers of all the other clubs left behind.

    Not everyone wants to watch Arsenal v Real Madrid live from the far east.

    The money from tv would drop so players would have to chose lower wages to play or go to a super league club never to play or abroad where wages would be even lower.
