>>The people who tried to set this up have no real understanding of what makes football so popular
I think to an extent that is true. Or rather they know what makes it popular, just not necessarily why it does so.
What they are well able to understand though is how best to exploit it in any timescale that matters to them.
>>they should have to leave the EPL as a consequence
Won't happen. The broadcast revenue and commercial revenue related tot hose clubs would not return the rest of thee Premier LEague, it would disappear.
I'd think something alongs the lines of a reduced size Premier League permitting time & space for ESL involvement. Performance and financial contribution guarantees in the home leagues and a method of transitioning either up into or down out of the ESL on competitive results, along with preserving the current power structure.
