If this goes ahead, will all the potential in the market go to the ESL

Surely the superleague will attract the best players and best TV deals. So will we go back to low wages and having to attend matches at 3 pm on Saturday to see our team?

I don't really see how this can play out positively . The fa won't excluded the teams permanently. But if the premier League doesn't kick the teams out, they are sanctioning the superleague. Even if they drop a couple of divisions, the Teams wil make their way back up quickly ( like juve). They must have calculated this before signing up. Probably analysed the American model?
