    Is the thread title "Robert Murdoch Summer Football" because he is trying to rob us of yet more money for his obvious cash cow?

    They should throw in an extra game every season, in some far flung city too, while they are at it.

    How so ?,
    The top teams already travel the world playing each other in friendlies in summer, why not structure it into a tournament and televise the whole thing ?

    Naw, that's a silly idea, that messes with the existing league structures and gives some teams an unfair advantage.
    All this proposal is is turning what are now friendlies into some sort of competition, a bit like 'The Calling Cup of Nations'.
