Crazy EPL Plan

It is quite extraordinary that EPL committee suggested that a match to be stage overseas as the 39th games of the season. What on earth made this guy to have such idea? Is it really works? How fair would it be for all the teams? Would this benefited EPL teams? Is it because they are trying to get more money out from other countries?

All these question can easily be asked when such plan was annouced. To to no surprise, majority of the countries reject such plan to stage a game in their country as part of EPL regular season. It make them look silly and the game may eventually being treated as "Friendly Game" over there.

Clubs like Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea have regularly visit countries outside Europe during the off season to play some exhibition matches, authograph signing sessions etc because fans based there hardly get the opportunity to see their adored players. If games were to stage there every now and then, it would be meaningless as they get to see these superstars regularly here and there.

Also an EPL match to be stage outside its origin vanue, what would it make them look like? Crown or circus? Unless they have the intention of forming another league, that is equivalent to the so-call G14, which consists of major clubs like Real Madrid, Man Utd, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and much more.

This G-14 wanted to form a league of their own, which was then being called off due to settlement with UEFA and agreement being made to make all parties happy. So for Premier League to have such suggestion is nonsense, and it would be a waste of time, effort wasted for nothing. Country welcomed them are those who trying to lure more football fans out for commercial purposes. Other than that, I really can't think of anything better to stage an oversea game for EPL!
