It's infuriating. If the domestic leagues told the rebels to pound sand, they would win, but will they hold the line is the question. The big teams would take a fat stack of cash, but without the weekend sell outs from the domestic league, it is not a sustainable thing, and their fans would miss the domestic derbies enough that it would piss them off and they rightfully see it as a pander to the foreign TV audiences.
Unfortunately, the Italian and Spanish FA's are thoroughly corrupted enough by big team influence that I can see them acquiescence.
What's interesting is PSG and Bayern did not sign on to this, and if this was firmed up you have to believe they would. So maybe Agnelli et al are trying to bluff their way through this and it will collapse, I certainly hope so.
