I'm assuming mate that before this was floated, as it stands the other 4 clubs from the big six signaled their approval of the proposals. No way would they go into this divided, now.
But this is just the opening gambit. There is no realistic prospect of a contained super-league, it falls at every hurdle because every league must have its also-rans. I don't think Chelsea, Arsenal, and Spurs would fancy their chances long-term, nor would their continental equivalents.
As I see it, we must play both sides of the debate off against each other, and play the top six off against each other as well, or at least try to. This is essentially a political task that Moshiri must handle. We must delay, prevaricate, and confuse.
Navigating through this unscathed is a mammoth task though. It's going to be like House of Cards this. Just worth saying again, that we cannot afford financially or in a footballing sense, for Usmanov not to be a central figure in our response to this. Whatever people's ethical views, we cannot have an individual of his relative wealth and influence, not in our corner, alongside the other billionaires and sovereign states. This is a game of strategy, so Bill and Co. would need to step out. We've already missed the boat in not appointing a new chairman and directors, and I hope that doesn't become critical.
