I don't really understand the strong reaction that everyone has to this.

This ship sailed long ago. You had most liverpool supporters praying for some sugar daddy owner, to bring in more foreign players, all using international TV money, speaking about capitalizing better on our brand in asia.

It'll probably happen one way or the other eventually, and I don't have a problem with it categorically, but it couldn't possibly happen as an additional game for everyone. I'm just not sure how it works to have, say Bolton play Wolves in Minneapolis.

I think you know, when you've been brought up with the club and you go to pretty much all the games home and away, not because you particularly want to but because it's about as natural as having a shit, when they start talking about sticking them on 6000 miles away, well it's kind of like this bird you've been seeing for years and yeah she was high maintenance, and no you didn't want to go to all those clubs all the time but she was kinda worth it, but now she wants to fuck off to Ibiza with her mates every summer and you're not even invited. It's just the latest in a long series of 'fuck you's to the loyal fanbase.

And as pointed out, it's not like they'll spend the money wisely, it'll just go on more wages for another disloyal cocksucker I'll hate.

Did you know he's responsible for the Cosbys?

as well as Roseanne, 3rd Rock from The Lying Rag, That 70s Show, Mork & Mindy and of course, everyone's favourite - Curb Your Enthusiasm.

All huge franchises and successes.

Yes, his history of making successful TV programmes is certainly relevant and a big confidence boost

Maybe he mistook us for a sitcom.

All the ingredients are there.
 
We could do a "Finals Playoffs Series" like they do in AFL, and pretty much every North American sport.

Top 8 teams play knock-out games at the end of the seaosn and we have a Grand Final at the end of it.

League positions would decide European Qualification.

FA Cup would be royally fucked, but no-one "really" cares and we could dispense with the Carling Cup completely.

Finals Series games could be played at venues throughtout the world, with the Grand Final played at a different venue each year.

We could also have a pre-season tournament, groups based in different regions with a final series as well and we could even change the rules of the game slightly... say bigger goals,... like twice the normal size.... or no offside rule... or make it 8 a side... or even 15 a side.

All important revenue streams would be massive.

I'm not fucking serious, by the way.
 
NFL, MLB etc are a bit different since they are the dominant leagues by a long way in their respective sports.

Every fucker plays football.
