Champions League revamp

[hktoffee]

No relegation. 20 clubs in total, 15 permanent, 5 by invite. They expect to continue in their home leagues, despite this permanent advantage.

They actually think they can have their ways.

This is what will happen, people will act outraged but still go to matches... and the clubs know this.

It’s the fans of these rat clubs responsibility now. If they don’t protest and kick off then they are accountable to.

What do they think is going to happen going forward?


Say DCL (or any other player from any other team) bangs in 30 next season and then a 'Super League' team wants to buy him.

Well we know you are getting an extra £300m so we value DCL at £150m.

Kthxbye.

Fifa have to say ok but you can’t represent your country.

I get the feeling though they have cases ready to go.

I now actually think this will be the end of football now I’ve woken up and digested it.

TBF that home leagues thing might just be a front; they’ve made all the arrangements to be kicked out already.

When are the Premier League booting them?

Also when are they even having an emergency meeting?

 

[Brisan123]

Correct - none the less; similar to other state owned clubs, their ownership will be keen to ensure they are playing the Real Madrid's and Man Uniteds of this world.

If it goes ahead, which I still dont believe is likely, their owners will be desperate to join

They have stated they were asked and refused

Been asleep and missed 100 pages

ffs work wont be happy today

99 of them are two posts full of know it all actually doesn't know a thing catcher.

I can't believe the lies from these shower. "We have to listen to the fabs" nobody in football wants this you greedy scumbags

Which would be just lovely. I'd be absolutely over the moon if they're all kicked out, banned from international competition, transfer embargoed, the lot. It'd be a train wreck.

So JPM have secured debt financing of 6bn to pay for this through a SPAC. One assumes they have secured this against a global TV organisation already to justify the confidence of the clubs. Given’s sky’s reaction it isn’t them.
Given the US centric nature of this project, am going to guess it is Disney or Netflix.

Depends if he can play for England or not.

A pic of the trophy would be nice.

Hope it’s proper massive.

I'll bet it gets presented by Scrooge McDuck.

Current premier league table:
1. Leicester - 56 (31 games)
2. West Ham - 55 (32 games)
3. Everton - 49 (31 games)
4. Leeds - 45 (31 games)
5. Aston Villa - 44 (30 games)

Looking at that, I’d say we’re in good shape to claim a champions league spot.

Some good clubs there. Leicester with a more recent league win than most of the 6. Villa with a European trophy. Everton with more league wins than half of them.

 

[PaddyJames]

We'll still finish seventh.

I'd be gutted if it happens but..... Kick them out the PL let them have some buck o'hare crap and let domestic football do what it used to do. We will finish top

Oh All day, it's a "try before you buy" scenario.

If it goes well, do you really think they'll be staying in their domestic leagues?

Tonight's game and interviews could be interesting....
