I have a problem with Government getting involved.

This is a free country and businesses should be free to set themselves up as they wish.

It follows also that other businesses (the FA, Premier League, FIFA, UEFA) are free to set their own rules for membership of their respective entities.

The Guvmin should butt out.

TV rights will be interesting as the Premier League, for example, will want to recoup losses. But the public will baulk at hikes in subscription costs; they will also resist significant ticket price increases. I'm holding back on renewing my Spurs season ticket because if they are chucked out of the Premier League, I'm not interested.
