A side effect might even be players playing for teams that represent the country they come from..... harking back to those distant days when Town played in Europe. | |

They'll make many millions from the new format, as the article suggests. Football clubs aren't run by football clubs any more. They are run by big business and their shareholders. And we all know that shareholders won't turn down money. | |

Might be a future where clubs effectively have a European (/global) squad and a younger domestic squad & manage it that way. Liverpool's situation last month unlikely to be a one-off. | |
