  • I've yet to hear the arguments for, apart from by those involved.

    Exactly. But I don’t think we’ve even had those.

    • More advertising and broadcast rights revenue
    • The "best" teams with the best players playing each other all the time rather than only rarely, which means the quality of the product (F.K.A. the "matches") will apparently be better
    • More access to emerging football markets in South East Asia, Africa and the USA
    • More similarities to other marketable sports e.g. those in the US
    • Fewer ties to local communities means it will be easier to stage matches in other countries
  • One leaked sales doc isn’t enough for a verdict. I’d like to hear a defence before publicly stating opposition. I guess there’s no time for patience.
