It looks by reading these pages there is a 100% agreement that this is a terrible idea.
Not playing devils advocate for any sake at all, I think this is an excellent topic but lean by way of reasoning.
I can see only one reason why people are in business and its to make money.
Thats getting off point anyway... I dont know all the facts, but why is this such a bad idea? Okay, timing...over exposure...travel...money...anything else?
I apologise to anyone throwing a fit in disbelief at my position in advance. Is it a money thing? Thats all I seem to be reading. Some evil money grabbing phantom has hatched another scheme to rip off the good people of England again and no matter how loud the cries of "He's behind you!!" wont stop him again? But is that what its about?
So you want the worlds best players, roll around in agony when they want to play for their country and curl up into a ball of euro-uber rage when the World wants you to come out and play.
At least it might not be raining at kick off eh?
Thats mean and I take it back, but secretly its what I really want to say! Youve created a beautiful game thats bigger than the isles of their creation and once before its gotten away from you.
Before long the Premiership will be the World League and once again the English game will become the World Game.
Look, I hold no official position on this other than the fact that any game played outside the Premier League no matter who is playing will attract a MASSIVE crowd.
Maybe it shouldnt be a league game (which has been done in loads of other sports all over the world and they didnt complain) just pre season tourneys.
But the best players never play in pre season tourneys, and its a lot softer game.
Derby or whoever crap V Middlesborough might just might have found a way to actually promote the league, rather than financially absorb it.
Responses on why this is an awful idea? Im gunna read this topic again.

Im having a crack
Normal Refs Id say. English games, english refs.
I think thats really not an issue. Every other league is secondary and they all know it. Everyone watches the Premier League. A game in LA isnt going to ruffle the Beckham buzz.
Well isnt that up to them? And the FA will want to get in there before the market is saturated.
Im sure theres enough World wide suppport for more than one team.
Dunno but as long as Everton get a couple of superstars or a better stadium, let the bean counters worry.
I dont think that equates. Whoever manufactures the shirts sells them worldwide anyway. Im sure you would be able to buy a limited edition replica at the ground. I just saw a real Everton shirt in Rebel sport for the first time in years. Im buying it tommorow Im that exited.
We arent travelling by balloon anymore Suits! But a valid point about advantages. Not sure about that.
I think thats why they are trying to get real games OS. So every game is important.
Not sure about this seeding malarky.
We should wait till they level the plan.

One you didn't address, McBain:
The English League has always been based on playing once home and once away. Even without seeding, the addition of one additional game introduces an element of chance into what is a season of skill and work.
Fulham and Crystal Palace are battling it out at the bottom. As their extra game Fulham have to play Man U. Crystal Palace have to play Watford. Any unfairness there?
Add into that seeding, where supposed top clubs are given a lifetime guarantee that they do not have to play one another in the extra game, and you increase the advantage that they already hold.
As far as writing to the clubs goes, I would think that would be a waste of time. They are all already in favour of it and, if you don't like it as a Blue, there are millions of supporters in Asia who would.
The players are in favour of it because it increases their exposure and potential earning power. The only people who stand a chance of stopping this are the national FAs.
I would imagine the foreign ones would be set against one another and, according to today's papers, the English FA bigwigs see this as a great way of getting what they want with the national team and match scheduling. Perhaps the only way to get it stopped, if that is what fans in England want, is for people to write to their local FA councillor and get some pressure from the county associations.

Macca, if you see what I have said I remain resolutely opposed to this pie in the sky scheme, playing 39 league games in a season can only be described as stupid.
There are a hundred ways of increasing exposure overseas, a major preseason tournament for the top 16 prem sides, same idea but run it instead of the C/C cup for the bigger clubs and yes, play those matches across the globe if needs be as long as the respective national associations agree. That said it seems that FIFA are going to kill it any way.
What we have been presented with is a purely arrogant proposal, ill thought out by people who have scant regard for the sanctity of our league. I would welcome most things that would allow you guys round the world to see the blues for real but this certainly isn't one of them mate

A better way of achieving their objectives of promoting the game (yeah right!) and making more money, would be to stage the exact same games, a few months earlier than the proposed time, around the world, but instead of them counting as a 39th PL game, have them act as seeding games for the FA Cup 3rd round draw. The 10 winners (by shootout if necessary) are guaranteed not to be drawn against other PL clubs in the 3rd round, while the 10 losers are all drawn against each other.
