Champions League revamp

[Drico]

Cant help but feel it’s a convenient out for him but fair enough, would just show a massive disconnect between the owners and manager.

He's off to Bayern in the summer.

Rumours that Klopp has said he will resign if they join.

Man will become a King for me if he does.

I would have enormous respect if this happened tbf. Like off the charts levels of respect for the man.

Only if they are dismissed from domestic competitions. If they are allowed to continue, they’ve just become 20 times more powerful and we will still have to try and compete with them, and fail to do so!

I really really don’t think you understand what is happening here.

 

[blue to the bone]

tbh looks a more exciting line up than it has in years .

We will get knocked out in the last qualifying round by Baku fc

Sky pundits saying this is a disgrace... I’m sure Sky will buy into the rights to show these games and of course the same pundits will be happy to take their silver coins and be involved with them..

Its gonna mess with their product, the super league will be PPV on the clubs own channels so theyre collective arses are wobbling

They'll be staying in the PL. The others depend on them to maintain the crazy TV money. These "super" clubs want as much power as they can get from UEFA, and are essentially attempting a repeat of what the PL "Big Five" did to the FA - get them out of the way and take over. I think they've overreached, though, made UEFA look like knights in shining armour, and will accept less than this but more than what UEFA were originally prepared to give them. They win and UEFA can say they put up a fight. UEFA will have to concede so much or they will, potentially, lose international football as the smaller federations will collapse with no CL money and the clubs will effectively kill it. But the clubs have to be careful too as this will turn the stomachs of many fans. I think we'll eventually see a compromise that favours the clubs but maintains UEFA as a weaker governing body.

The thing is the TV contracts are the TV contracts. It isn't like these clubs leaving means the PL games don't get paid the same until the deals end.

Havent they breached certain rules? So Id say yes.

I get the feeling there is more to all this yet to come out. I doubt it’s all been done in total secret either.

I made a post a few pages back with quotes about him being against this super league from last year. If it happens for his own dignity he has to walk away.

 

[Blueclouds]

I'm in work in the morning and my head blown away.

 

[bitter-no-better]

fair point - but can you see Gareth Southgate leaving out his entire back four, Kane, Mount, Foden, Henderson, Sterling etc when his job depends on it.

Perhaps it could be an FA directive I suppose

Maybe only Henderson

By all means let me know.

Gary neville take a bow son loved every word he said

Any link mate?

 

[The binman chronicles]

Another asterisk title this year then, starting to hate football. When the tail wags the dog it's pretty much game over. People will point to the PL when that was created saying it is similar but it's nothing like the same.
