Thin end of the wedge

Get these changes through, secure absolutely rule of football by the biggest 9 clubs, and see how long it takes before the promised 25% of revenue drops to 20, 15, 10....

But I guess the league is held hostage anyway, so with a gun to enough heads, this will probably pass.

Disaster capitalism at its finest.
