Agree but it all still misses the point really.

The reason why the prem is so compelling is the fans and the atmosphere etc. This is already diminishing with loads of football tourists with their heads stuck in ipads etc at the games. Taking the game out of England just takes away what makes it good in the first place.

Exactly the same applies to this European super league rubbish.
