I presume they'll wait for Hearts to be back in the top flight, or do you think they'll just invite them anyway because they're special and that?

All about money, money, money. It's a rich clubs world.

Everything that’s wrong about modern day football. Greed and only a few elite or mega rich clubs wanting even more. Prefer to watch Hibs any day of the week.

Completely inevitable. Why else would Sky enable richer clubs to get richer whilst others go to the wall?
All fed through the greed and craving of the precious TV deal dosh...
Clubs go to the wall leaving Sky (ever the King-makers as we know in Scotland and they have multiple fingers in multiple pies) to be waiting in the wings to dictate the setup that suits them... less clubs = bigger share for those remaining.
I’ve long argued that football authorities have been asleep at the wheel - favouring increased income whilst neglecting the very sustainability of the game (which should be at the forefront) warning signs constantly ignored."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans."

Consolidation of power and wealth permanently in the hands of a handful of clubs.

So are they suggesting that the teams would only compete in a european league, or would it be midweek european games, and domestic games at weekends?

Modern football is absolutely ***** and all about the handful of clubs in each country making sure they are the richest clubs and **** the rest of us. Only a matter of time before the big clubs tell uefa and FIFA to boot and set up their own league playing each other and no longer playing in their home association. Far fetched? Not to my mind. May take a few years but that will happen

Once again the rich get richer. FIFA are backing this. Like the champions league teams who fail are getting free money. A European Premier league should be for champions not teams finishing 4th in their league. They are also saying that certain clubs will have a protected status and not be relegated. Count me out.

I’ve posted on here many times about the inevitability of this. The greed of the owners of Real, Man Utd etc knows no bounds. The only twist is the involvement of FIFA who will be delighted to get control of this cash cow from UEFA who they have been envious of for years.

Does anyone know more about the FIFA vs UEFA angle on this?
Is it a power move by FIFA to get more control over club football?

I’d love to see a massive backlash from fans of clubs not involved in this, a campaign to not watch any games. Starve the tv companies of subscribers, cancel existing subscriptions etc.

All of the excluded clubs in these leagues should sign a pact to refuse to do any transfer dealings etc with these clubs from now on - a complete embargo. What a sickening level of greed and honestly wish for every single one of those teams who sign up to go to the wall.
Luckily, we in Scottish Football can sit back with the popcorn and watch the whole thing kick off, but this must be super worrying if you are e.g. a Wolves, Newcastle, Everton or Valencia fan...! Would completely kill a lot of these big-money leagues and take the bloated upper-middle market crashing out of existence.
Hibs to pick up the likes of James Rodriguez and Traore when it all does?

Very much looking forward to the rage and anger when the bigot twins find out they’re not being invited to play.

So is this league instead of the Champions League, cause there’s no way there are enough dates in the Calendar for both

May as well, create an almost NFL style super league to sit at the top and maybe the national leagues underneath return to more of an even keel.
From a Scottish point of view, what they get up to is almost irrelevant, but it would presumably lead to less daft money artificially flowing through the English pyramid, might stop us being outbid for players by clubs in League 1 etc, as all the crazy money is concentrated on the 18 super clubs, with no incentive to buy random English clubs, unable to break into the cartel at the top.
