Only maybe in this country

And then probably only if it was on free TV. Which won't happen because that doesn't bring in enough money.

The young FIFA generation will watch the ESL because that's where the big stars will be.

Current PL money is so big because of its global appeal, and 95% of those overseas watchers will support one of the SL clubs (if you are going to pick a team from scratch you're almost certainly going to pick one that has a reasonable chance of winning something). They won't stick with the PL (unless maybe those clubs are still in it)
