Think we'll see breakaway leagues over the next few years

just a matter of time in Brazil until the big clubs there realise they are better off creating a Premier League. The good thing about football over here is that nearly all the competitions are wide open, there's been some really great stories over the years of small clubs getting to the Copa Libertadores final. So, if they changed it then maybe the biggest clubs in South America would get all the money and destroy the competitiveness we have here at the moment.

        Excellent! Uruguay's so expensive, I somehow spend more here than in the UK (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Feb 8, 23:06:37

      - I'm sure the revenues arrive in the correct back pockets to ensure the clubs don't (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 8, 22:45:19
        
        Haha - in the critical cases, yes. But if the clubs complain too much, the FAs are (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Feb 8, 22:46:50
        
        yep, incredible state of affairs. I guess they want to make sure the clubs never become (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 8, 22:48:42
        
        Indeed. Though even in Europe, it's astonishing the clubs haven't broken away yet (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Feb 8, 22:50:18
        
        I agree, I think they may well be preparing to do so (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 8, 22:56:04
