Not me, I want NFL-style commercial revenue sharing. The league would be much more exciting if Villa don't have to sell their best players, and the same applies to Bournemouth, Brighton and Hull.

Top 5 leagues in England? Europe wide?

It would be difficult to achieve across multiple countries but I would be up for anything that reduces global equality.

There'll never be revenue sharing. NFL is US only, no relegation a single competition, no transfers as we know them, no academies etc. Proper football is a worldwide competition, every coumtry with different tax. rules etc.

We aren't competing against just 19 other PL clubs, it's dozens more all around the world.

My thinking is, I want a big 7 in England, with us in it. I used to think a big 8 was inevitable, but Jaudi Arabia are fucking up at present, and long may that continue.

I imagine that the aborted Super League would have had those sorts of rules.

I want that too, and I want them to have make it that awkward number because of these awkward twats without the same resources keep winning all the trophies.

I do think there's a chance that Chelsea flame-out as it were. They eventually spend too much and if they keep failing to qualify for the Champion's League, drop out of the running completely.

Which would be lovely, as none of the Big 6 have scummier fans.

Just hope we are not spunking all of it that costs us for years like the last few seasons

Hopefully the stadium expansion and CL money will help massively

I hope we begin punching our actual weight as the biggest club in the second biggest city in the richest football economy on earth, with no rivals of the same size within an 80-mile radius.

We've likely generated £200m in savings with outgoings and wages this summer. It might be Monday morning brain fog but I am struggling to recall a re-build under a manager out of design as much as necessity. Usually its curtains by this point so its quite exciting new territory.

Looking at Manzambi, Gomes etc, we're going to be incredibly hard working and full of running at least.
