Real Madrid President Florentino Perez said the decision to create the new league, which his club would be a part of, was in part taken because "young people are no longer interested" in the game.
He told a Spanish TV show: "Audiences are decreasing and rights are decreasing and something had to be done. We are all ruined. Television has to change so we can adapt."
This shows how just how out of touch they are.
Perhaps the greedy buggers should have foreseen this, when at the same time as negotiating record tv deals, ground admission prices which could have been reduced, or at least frozen, were being hiked to price out their future core audience.
