Great post, Gaffer. Maybe this is why my attention has drifted towards the Bundesliga and away from the PL lately. Besides Germany actually competes for trophies unlike England!

Its all about the almighty pound/dollar/euro. Why not just do away with relegation/promotion if this happens, the money will make it impossible for clubs coming up from the CCC to stay up in the EPL.

BBC Sportsweek (available for free at Itunes) interviewed Scudamore this week and he conceded that their always a possiblity of more international based games though he didnt see how the calendar could permit in its present form so that its unlikely.
I am overseas but British and i dont think this proposal is a good idea - sure I may get to see Arsenal play in NY or DC which would be nice but from a sports aspect its not fair if Arsenal draw Spurs while United draw Derby - it wouldnt be a symmetrical season.
PLus what if where I lived got Wigan v Middlebrough - no way in hell I'd pay to see that as I you'd really need to be a fan of those clubs to go see them. People wont want to see all 20 clubs, just a few of them.

Lets get real here, football is a business nowadays.
I am all for the proposal, i moved from england to australia back in 2001, and i would love to see any team from the EPL play here.
Maybe the A-League will take some notes on how the english game works, because the A-League is really lacking something.

Simon is right in a respect, there wouldnt be a symmetrical season. But thats why you do research, to find out where big fan bases for each team are in the world.
