Im not going to support a league that finishes in an odd and unfair number of games. Sorry, but thats not my way of doing things. Thats what i mean. It still has the tradition of the game there, but if it finishes in an odd number and the fixtures are decided on an unfair lottery and some teams have to go further than others in the world, then sorry i am not going to support that. Thank you for attacking me as a football fan though, tbh if you're a real football fan you wouldnt support this idea one bit.
It really is not impossible for me to give it up if this happens.
I didn't attack you as a football fan.
You've missed the various posts where i've voiced concerns, and even the one where i decided that overall i'm now against the concept.
I've mentioned various ideas about how to cancel out obvious unfairnesses, including all five cities being in the same time zone.
It is only an idea, and all that was agreed was that the chairmen would meet to discuss this idea, not necessarily to implement it.
If it were to go ahead because of the power and lure of money, then surely better to at least get fans' input into how the concept would be set up into reality? If everybody in england is against it and continues to just say no, no, no, then the chairmen will not have had any input and ideas from the fans and media.
I tried giving football up about eight years ago. I tried to get it out of my blood. I didn't like the way the game was going with all this money stuff taking over. I tried.
I failed. I still watch tonnes of games. I still love what it does to me when goals get scored, when a beautiful passage of play occurs.
And even though i'm probably being too practical for an emotional game, emotionally and footballingly, i'm against the whole idea getting off the ground. But i still think it's going to happen at some point...
