He has zero regard for players, fans, or climate, with the decisions made under his auspices solely based upon finance.
If there are any legs in this, I'm sure it will only involve the top clubs from the major European Leagues.
No consideration for those who attend regularly. They would have to fork out for a transatlantic flight or a trip to the Middle East. They won't care about the supporters. They'll just be interested in the money.

Everyone seems to love flying off these days for a bit of continental, Middle or Far East fun… what could possibly go wrong???
