Armchair premier watchers will no longer be able to see the creme de la creme players as they will be playing mid week in the Super League. It will obviously give more places to better players but will have a detrimental effect on the lower leagues. I saw the interview with the Wolves guy who welcomed it as it will give the middle order clubs chance of winning the Premier but that will not add up as the billions on offer will still allow the super clubs to purchase the best and dominate the League much like the FA cup where they roll the dice until the semis when the big gun players arrive.Won't the new league be two groups of 10. So in effect a replacement champs league, just with guaranteed 'big' games. So I think they would still view the Prem League as a 1st team competition. Mind you it would create more fixtures so I guess part of the financial clout received would result in those clubs carrying ridiculous squads and stockpiling unfair amounts of the 'talent'. Which ever way you dice it up, its a bad idea.
It will be nice to welcome the disillusioned to non league soccer
