Bradders, if you don't mind being called that? I think when they brought in 3 points for a win it made the tempo of games faster, more pressing etc, or was that just my way of seeing it as teams pressed for a win worth more points. 3 for a win quickly moves you away from other teams, unless of course they match you which doesn't always pan out like that.

As for the Saudis, let them take the 'best of the bunch' from the Premiership, it might make it a more level playing field so to speak. Also, the big clubs from the Prem may have to start looking towards more home grown talent and the lower league clubs will benefit from this through transfer money or, will what Liverpool may likely get for Salah be spent on another £100 million player?
