si no nos movilizamos, pero claro es que....
Está en inglés pero basicamente dice que los prebostes de la patronal inglesa de clubes, la LFP de allí, quieren jugar partidos de liga fuera de Inglaterra pasándose por el forro a sus aficiones, espera que esto se les ocurre a los nuestros en un pispás y aquí lo tienen más fácil.

Premier League proposals meet with mixed response

The UK secretary of state for Culture, Media and Sport, Andy Burnham, said that the Premier League's plan to take English league games overseas raised serious issues about the “integrity of the game”.

At a meeting on Thursday all 20 Premier League clubs agreed to explore a proposal to extend the season to 39 games and to take the extra 10 games overseas. It is understood that the games would count as normal Premier League fixtures with three points for a win, although the top five teams are likely to be seeded so they do not play each other.
In a statement Burnham said: "English football is hugely popular around the world and I understand the Premier League's desire to take the game to new audiences but this proposal goes beyond the Premier League and careful consideration is needed before any decisions are made... Money and merchandising must not take priority over the interests of fans in this country. The Premier League brings great benefits to Britain, but it's success today is established upon local club support built up over generations. The game must never forget its roots".
The 10 overseas games could generate an estimated £240 million in extra revenue for the Premier League in terms of TV rights deals and the sale of match hosting rights to five overseas cities. The Football Association has given its provisional support to the plans.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore, said: “it's an extra game, it's is not taking anybody's game away, and it includes all 20 clubs which is very important. All 20 clubs will benefit and there is a huge element of solidarity about it”.
