The following news, currently is discuss among many peoples especially peoples that live outside the England (or Europe's and Asia region)..AFC tell members to snub Premier League’s overseas plan

what does u'r opinion about this news? Whether it is good or not? And how does it is impact to the development of the tiny club that involve in that situation? Does it is help this people develop their quality of player or local football in their homeland? and how was the impact to the EPL itself too?just drop an opinion here..

I dont agree the AFC's decision... Allowing EPL to spread their connection through overseas by playing match in another country will benefit the country itself... First, from the advertisement... A lot of country out there will see the country... Second, the matches, regardless where it take place, will promote the country itself... It will not help the player development in the country directly, but this is a good quality match, a lot of footballer from the country will watch it and they will see good skill and performance from EPL that will help them to develop their own skill...

For tiny club, I still dont have opinion... Do they have to pay to do this plan??

Football is a global sport.. So, I think it is a good plan... and hope soon to be realised....

I agree with it fully, why ruin your own league so clubs over here get richer this is all about the premier league not giving a monkeys the reason why the premiership was reduced in size was so the didnt play so many games now there happy to fly half way around the world different time zones, so the can make the chairman richer. you might as well let rangers and celtic join the EPL and play in the SPL as well they only have tough games against each other and both would then profit the exercise

leachy-boi91

From a Canadian point of view, it could only help the game - no way the North American leagues have a problem with it, just builds interest.

English fans are happy to see their rich clubs plunder the transfer markets with TV money that includes international revenue - seems awfully selfish to begrudge 1 game in a 39 game schedule for a few teams. Int'l licensing earns more than 2.5% of revenue, by quite a bit.

NEIL

yes moofar it builds interest in english teams no one will want to follow north american football, i live in yorkshire support Fulham as I was born in london lived there for 30 odd years they dont bring a game to yorkshire just so ican see them play. Christ Manu Arsenal liverpool fans who have no connection with the city get on my nerves I support cos htere good there the kind of idiots this is design to attract no wonder clubs like Luton and Bournemouth are going out of businees cos everyone following the big 4 christ Chelsea could hardley raise a smile until the Russian now suddenley everones a Chelsea fan.

Support your local team or we will end up with just 5 clubs and how crap will FM be then

from ANOTHER canadian point of view
i would love for football to come here, i doubt i will see a liverpool match live for the next 2 or 3 years, i have never been to any city in england other than london
- the only stadium ive been to in europe is stade denis in paris, and that was for a tour
but back on topic, its great for overseas supporters, but isnt this what no league (which is lower quality, such as MLS, or many asian leagues) wants? if theyre coming here to play a local team thats great, it builds interest and people like it
but the premeir league is just trying to get money, theyre not respecitng any other league in the world by doing this - and i appreciate that many teams' chairmen, managers and players do respect that, and their local fans, who form the heart of the team
it leaves me with mixed feelings, between what is right and what i want, but you have to go with the thing that helps football, not deteriorate it, especially in countires where it isnt as popular

rimza

good point apthered..anyone want to add some more opinion??

These ideas are always bad news. The average premier league teams schedule is congested enough as it is without having to leave time for two or three overseas games, these new ideas are created by moneymen not fans, and only benefit them. I agree its great for fans the world over to have the likes of Utd chelsea and arsenal coming to their stadiums, but unless you do it in a master league type tournament or superleague its crazy.

Having said that the fixture list wouldnt even work if you took the top teams and created a master league type thing for a year. it would mess up the history books for one thing, and ac milan would win it anyway. Just leave it the way it is. Its fine!

apthered

I believe that it is totally the correct decision. The EPL is perhaps the greatest league in the world. Everyone wants to see the matches. I have been a lifelong supporter of a Lower league club. I pay good money to go to Bristol and watch my team. I don't think I could get hung up or motivated about going to Bristol to watch Arsenal versus Chelsea. Scudamore and his cronies need to realise that the only English team that should be playing abroad is the National Team. Instead of trying to make even more money for all the Foreign investors that have invaded the EPL. Christ even Derby is owned by Yanks and they are down at the end of the season! they should be splashing the cash in the lower league to bring on young English talent. We cannot go on living off winning the World Cup in 66. I was one of the priviledged ones who saw that game and how good the lads were. It is now embarrassing to even mention it. No wonder our celtic friends laugh when we do!. The EPL is graced with some fantastic footballers, most of them from foreign climes who have contributed to keeping English Football the passionate game it is.I mean no disrespect to non english football fans who I am sure would love to see the EPL come to their country and play a meaningful match. Sorry English games should stay in England. Please come over here and enjoy our hospitality and th excitment of our game. Travel is cheap these days and I am sure you would love the whole football holiday thing. Just remember England is not just London, Liverpool and Manchester. There are many other places worth the visit and whree you can see great Football.

Up the Gas!

I am totally against this stupid idea. Sure it would be an awesome idea for the overseas fans of our clubs. But as stated before, this decision isn't about the fans, it's about the money men of the Premier League. The Premier League makes enough money as it is, otherwise why would there be such a berth between the finances of Premier League clubs and Championship clubs. Another downside is the fact that this '39th' game will be randomly drawn. What if it was like last season, where Wigan and Sheffield United both needed a win to stay up and Sheff Utd drew Chelsea, United etc and Wigan drew Watford? There would be a very good chance that it would be Wigan that stayed up. Does that then mean the Premier League chiefs would pay compensation to Sheff United coz they might've stayed up if it wasn't for the 39th game. Hyperthetically speaking of course.

Not to mention the fact that most of the Prem clubs have such a congested fixture list every season, plus internationals. Our players are gonna burn out!

If the Premier League chiefs feel the need to raise money, give it to the smaller clubs that are struggling to maintain a status in professional football due to their financial difficulties! But that's clearly not what's going on here. It's all about lining the pockets of the EPL head honchos. It's such a stupid idea that clearly shows the idiots like Scudamore wasn't thinking about the fans or the smaller clubs.

for EPL fans in Asia, surely it is great if we can watch them live here, in a truly competitive match, not just friendlies.

however i think it's bad for the players. Their tight match fixtures & schedules are tiring already, so why tell them to go abroad for a derby match? They're footballers, not rock'n'roll bands or circus performers (who earn their money by touring).

For home fans, this is bad too. How would you feel if you can't support your team in the next derby match, just because it's taking place abroad, halfway around the globe?

either you love 'em, or you hate 'em.
I love 'em.

well if the asian fans watched there local teams they would have loads of money to buy players of quality and you wouldnt need to watch the epl

to be honest, overeas 'english' premier division games are a bad idea, all this does is fill the wallets of premier league cheifs, another point is, if this were to happen, it would turn from 1 overseas game to 2 to 5 and so on until it became a global league. good decision to oppose this plan in my view.

rimza

there are possible that other bigger league will follow the EPL such La Liga,Seria A etc..do you think that possible??
