I think this will be a bad idea. 10 extra games onto an already hectic shedule will just be absurd. Players will not have time to recover, unless they extend the league. If they extend the season then it will cause a big problem when there are international tournaments. It will reduce the time player can actually use to recover from the season.

i really cant imagine the league with 30% extra games.

I understand that this will serve many of EPL's wordwide fan base and will strengthen our image abroad but to be fair, a lot of fans will feel annoyed that they cant watch the biggest games because they live in the same country as my club.

Perhaps we can have some friendlies either in the summmer or in breaks in the season but imo going half way around the world to play a club which is only 4 hours drive away is just stupid.

If its about filling seats, most the big clubs already do that. Getting a ticked for Man united, arsenal or liverpool (stretching the term "big club here") is actually a challenge because there are so many season ticket holders and such a big demand for them already.

I bet you any money that sepp blatter is involved in this or approves :P
