Premier League going global

[temi]

English domestic football could be about to undergo yet another revolution.
On Thursday, the 20 Premier League clubs agreed to look into the possibility of playing an extra round of matches every season - abroad.
The idea comes 16 years after the historic creation of the Premier League, and shows just how much the top flight of English football has changed since that key move in 1992.

I would assume that they wouldn't go to any countries in Europe with their own leagues - they would be targeting less well known footballing countries like Australia, UAE, Thailand, Hong Kong, USA and African countries.

I would be surprised if they went to Greece because it has its own decent league!

Your right tim,

The reason behind the move is to promote the Premier League and the countries you named would be the sort of targets,

As Man U & Celtic have already done in Japan & China.

Stupid idea in my view. It`s all down to money, whatever they claim. Blatter is against it (rightly in my view), which means that as the president of FIFA it won`t happen.

It doesn't look like this will happen anymore.
