Let's see how many people want to watch a 6 team league. Let them go it alone. That's not how it would work. Going alone is not what the big six want. The big six clearly support (drooling at the thought) of a European Super Legaue composed of all the big teams in Europe. No promotion or relegation, means income security and the other teams will be locked out. It's the American model, supported by big TV companies. It's been coming for years. Don't like it, don't want it but it's the only logical way for the big teams to grow the pie. Clearly that is NOT for the good of the game as a whole. Not in this country not in any country so the national FA’s , UEFA and FIFA need to stand against it. If the big clubs persist with it thereafter it would then be on the basis of a circus with no way back for its participants to their national leagues and the players banned for life from authorised competitions Including playing for their country.

It's been mentioned and referred to as inevitable. When? IMHO if it was going to happen it would have happened by now.

Here is what I said on another thread: "Sometimes it seems like the Premier League directors and the media view the purpose of mid to lower table teams as providing easy opponents for the big teams, thus making the top teams seem better than they are. That's why they get upset when a smaller team beats a big team and why games between two non-big teams receive almost no media coverage."
Would a European super league benefit the big Premier League teams, or would it highlight how not-all-that they are?
Also, how would glory hunting fans of the big teams react to seeing their team lose regularly?
There are already meltdowns when they lose in the Champions League or Europa League. I imagine it's more difficult still to look at the table after a full season and see that there isn't glory to be hunted from your chosen team, so better switch to supporting Real Madrid instead.
The big Premier League teams obviously don't want that.

Last week Bein Sports in middle east transmitted only 1 game was for Man United and I couldnt watch other games at the same time, one of them was for Stoke
Although they have 17 channels, and they normally transmit all games, so mostly there is a new problem
