Looked in on the Stoke City Oatcake forum and the general consensus towards the so-called big six is phuck them, let them go and never allow them to return to English football. The attitude is much the same as ours towards the OF to$$ers when there is talk of them leaving.
A lot of posters are seeing it as a positive in the sense it will create a more level playing field and give more teams the opportunity to challenge for the title.
