Top Clubs Consider Playing Overseas

True Scudamore (massive ****.) will still try, but I think this is too far. I really do. At least this decade.

You'd hope - but I can't see it. The amount of money to be raised by making the game global is simply so great that I can well see them sticking it up to UEFA and FIFA.

Try to think the unthinkable, times it by ten and I'll be betting it still doesn't register on the Scudamore Scope.

Premier League still pushing for overseas matches

LONDON — England's Premier League is revising plans to play an extra round of matches abroad.

Chief executive Richard Scudamore told the Leaders in Football conference Tuesday that the EPL can't patronize its huge global fan base by just playing exhibition games outside of England.

FIFA and the English Football Association opposed the EPL's original plan, announced in February, to add a 39th game to the schedule, to be played outside England starting in January 2011.

"Will it come back in the original form? Probably not," Scudamore said. "Will it come back in another form? Probably likely."

He said at least eight other proposals are on the agenda and the Premier League expects to announce further details early next year.

"The international round is still on the list of ideas that we are considering," Scudamore said. "We understand that it's got huge difficulties, and everyone recognized it had difficulties ... because of the integrity of the competition and fitting it into the calendar."

Scudamore said the league can't afford to neglect foreign fans because of the huge revenue generated from overseas television rights.

"You can't patronize the fans by playing meaningless matches and playing exhibition matches forever," he said. "The audience abroad is not silly. They are sophisticated, and they want really meaningful matches."

The NFL held its first regular-season game outside North America in London last October when the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10. Major League Baseball this year opened its season in Tokyo for the third time, and last weekend the NHL began its season in Europe for the second straight year.

Why don't you just fook off?! :frusty: :frusty:

"You can't patronize the fans by playing meaningleff matches and playing exhibition matches forever, The audience abroad is not silly. They are sophisticated, and they want really meaningful matches"

...Oh right - But you can patronize the fans that go home and away, havn't missed a game for years and years, diehard fans, who it would cost alot of money to watch the meaningful matches by going to the other side of the world.

It said in the paper on Sunday that there will soon be 14 foreign owned clubs in the premier league which is the amount of clubs needed to change the rules of the premier league and allow games to be played abroad.

Words cannot express my hate for Richard Scudamore. He is a cancer on the game of football. What a complete and utter tosser this man is.

I'd love to see that **** suffer.

What a ridiculous statement that is.

Yet many people will shoot you and I down for suggesting such things.

They can shoot all they like it actual fact whether I would or would pay is academic anyway because I couldn't afford to and I certainly wont be paying anymore than £25 on principle to watch a league game at any level.

We might not be seeing much of you at the Walkers if we get promoted next year then.

That's a distinct possibility although if a ST averages out at less then there is still a chance - football no longer provides value for money and the way the economy is going I may not be the only one missing if they insist on the ever increasing prices.

I have a better idea - they can all stay here and I'll **** off overseas.

Everyone wins.

Is there anyone who doesn't feel like moving abroad these days? I've just had an afternoon of the subject!

I for 1 can not wait for the greed and money before fans businessmen are long gone in our national game.

Hopefully the "big clubs" bugger off and we are left with some real fans / clubs and football for the people and not for cooperate gain. :thumbup:

How long till they start fooking around with the Championship then though?

I'm not really sure but wasn't the PL created because there was too much of a gap appearing in Division 1 between the top teams, and "the rest", as I said i'm not really sure, I do remember the PL started but don't know much about how and why it was created, it just 'happened'.

Also what about the lower PL teams, Would they really want to be tied into losing every/most weeks with no step down, no promotion, e.t.c?

I totally understand what your trying to say and to some extent agree, but there is more to think about and problems that would occur than just wanting the PL to fook off abroad.

1 idea, which i'm not keen on but it's a possibility is having a European League, with all the top clubs of the top European Leagues in one league. We already have the Champions League but they could finish that and do a long version over the space of a normal season. :dunno:

I think Sky had a lot to do with the Premier League being created, making it appear more glamourous and making it easy for people to watch games. The gates at games before the Premier League were going down (alledgedly because people were put off by violence etc.) and Sky marketed the League to appeal to a wider market. Since it has been so popular, more money has gone into it and it has reached a wider market - so popular that the bastards want to make even more money by having another game abroad.

Don't quote me on any of this, but this is what I seem to remember was the basic argument of a 'History of the Premier League' that I saw - think it was that gem of a station ESPN Classic.

THe Premier League was created to enable the then 1st Division teams to manage themselves and to distance themselves from the FA and it's influence. Bearing in mind that the FA's key role is to oversee and ensure that all FA affiliated football (all of it then) and clubs are treated equally and fairly according to the rules of the game and the Football structure.

This break away enable the Premier League to keep more of it's own money, they also promised it would lead to a more successful England team.
