As I said in one of the posts, people in BBC Sports corridors of power (when they were on the fifth floor of Television Centre) had an inkling of what Murdoch was planning some years ago.

 

He wants to go head-to-head with Fifa, who won't let satellite/cable companies buy the World Cup finals rights as Fifa want terrestrial tv to continue to take the game to as wide an audience as possible.

 

This will be a re-run of Kerry Packer's cricket circus. Fifa will try to do and outlaw the players/clubs who join Murdoch, but he will just do what Packer did, and tell them; "Tough, I've got the best players, people will watch my tournament."

 

This will be the death-knell for the World Cup.
