For me file under "greed" and "unnecessary"...

What a load of nonsense 🙄

[points-with-bone]

Might as well move lock stock and barrel; easier to 'grow the brand' that way

The Minnesota Mancks'

'San Francisco Scouse'

'Houston Hotspur'

'Chattanooga Chelsea'

And get rid of that ridiculous relegation nonsense

Some decent time-out periods too

Then the rest of us can get on with enjoying proper football clubs

Part time franchising ?  The integrity of the English league would be lost. The only future I see is that the Big 6 depart and play each other in a foreign league and let everyone else enjoy competitive football.

Lovely; if bothersome home games at err home are problematic and FA cup replays so tiresome when there's all those Europasecondchance trophy matches to play and out of season exhibition matches abroad to play, then yes go off to Cloud Nine and play with each other until you go blind and yes then we might actually have something to be proud about to watch

Oh and bring back rattles; I liked them [but definitely not vuvuzelas]

Careful, chattanooga Chelsea has quite a ring to it.

Just leave it to pre or post season friendly/exhibition  games for those clubs that wish to do it.  Don't see any real, concrete benefit for PVFC or it's supporters.

Let them crack on, it’s not going to cause me to lose any sleep. European league is where it’ll lead, eventually

[MelbourneValiant]

Other countries do it. NFL in London, AFL in China. Although these are unique sports to help to try and grow the game. I think it is silly for an already world renowned game. A game 39 overseas whilst being too tired to play FA Cup replays. We are already having an 'overseas' World Cup round in South AMerica when the World Cup is already in Africa and Europe. The state of the game is dreadful at the moment.

"Expand the brand" Fifa should be there as the custodians of sporting integrity without looking at commercial opportunities at every turn.
