Part of me is very curios to see what the outcome would be if Platini gets his way tbh.

he does seem to be on a bit of a crusade tbh crazy frenchie, when is next UEFA presidential elections?

So funny reading this. He wants Premiership clubs to share some TV money. Can you imagine any business doing this. Probably no legal way he can even do this. It's part of the clubs income. I doubt he can ever make them give it away. Like any European Directive we can opt out of it. What next F1 to share TV rights money with European Rally teams?? Considering most of the bigger clubs are now Limited companies with thousands of shareholders new laws would have to be passed to even enforce it.

The reason Premiership is so successful around the world is not due to individual big name footballers. For over twenty years top flight English football has been shown around the world because it was exciting. Italian football ,although agreed technically better, was as boring as watching paint dry. End to End football with lots of goals is what the worlds supporters wanted, it's what they get with the premiership.

Ive seen snakes I would trust more than Platini.

He wants to steal our TV Deal money weaken our league and try to bring the Frech league up with our Money. The man is a snake and i would be surprised if the FA ever let it happen. I wonder if the FA would rather quit Uefa over this?
