Ok, I think that's wishful thinking
@mysticsniper. Players will follow the £ signs.
Because the value of Everton, Newcastle, Leicester, Crystal Palace etc would drop through the floor without them. Now if you believe Moshiri, Ashley, Vichai, Parish et al are all passionate supporters of their clubs and care about the integrity of the sport and don't just see their clubs as an asset then maybe they'll take the moral decision and vote against it.
They're going to push back and they're going to fight it but how this ends, who knows. The least likely outcome is these sides not competing in their domestic Leagues. It's the one outcome that suits nobody. If I were to guess, it ends with compromise all round, the biggest clubs getting a bit more of what they want.
The really interesting thing is what FIFA say and some journo's seem to be suggesting that these clubs could have had an unofficial nod from FIFA.
This has gone on and goes on at every level for years and years. I've banged on about it for the past 10 months now - we have parachute payments to protect the bottom of the PL, when project restart was being negotiated we had the smallest PL sides trying to block relegations and promotions to the PL to protect themselves, when talk of bailouts for the EFL were being discussed none of the (small) PL sides wanted to give a penny to the Championship. Everybody wants a closed shop, just only to those below them.
