Fans of the big clubs won't though and fans of the smaller clubs won't matter. I cancelled Skysports over 10 years ago and have never had BT sport and it's made no difference. Pubs pay silly money for it or people go elsewhere and people worldwide will always want to watch the big clubs due to the hype in the same way as people here also watch Barca or Real or Bayern to a lesser extent.

ITV digital flopped because they paid too much for Football League games that people didn't want to watch and those clubs suffered but it had no real effect on the Premiership.

We can wish the EPL to flop because we aren't part of it but that doesn't mean it will happen more's the pity. It's more likely that they will tell the EFL to sod off and that is where it will be a real cave in.
