Champions League revamp

[daza_1973]

Rawk are actually blaming Man City for all of this lol

bet Chelsea are relieved.

I can't wait for the fans if those 6 English teams to realise they won't get to watch their teams anymore as the home games will be sold to foreign fans and they won't be able to afford the away games.

Also can't wait for Stan kroenke to announce the London arsenals will be moving to a new stadium in Texas.

Be like 200 quid a ticket

Just reading there that United and Liverpool have now left the ECA??

Sounds like it's actually happening..............

Yep.

The Premier League needs to revoke all their memberships today. Right now.

Strangest thing of all this is Juve and the murderers becoming bedfellows.
Seems like money can make everything go away if you throw enough at it


Vile . The kin lot of 'em

That was just the legacy fans who won't let it go.

IF this thing happens I will sever any subscriptions, I have no interest in watching any of them ever again. I have no interest in the 6 clubs leaving. I think the Premier League will be better without them!!

Zero chance it's netflix. They don't do any live programming (maybe they'll pay money to do an ESL documentary)

Disney could as they own ESPN

Chelsea and city where resistant to this but signed up because of FOMO

I got more enjoyment at the weekend watching my sons under 9s come back from 2 goals down to claim a draw in last 5 minutes than watching most of these clowns dive all over the floor and pass the ball around the back 4!

I was about to say this about my nephew’s team but I think they might be the city of the u13s league they are in. 11-1 up at HT a couple of weeks ago.

Can’t believe the statements of Perez and Glazier make it sound like they have the interest of “the wider footballing pyramid” at heart.

Don’t you fkin dare try and make out you’re trying be the saviours of football you disgraceful little rats.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yep.

The Premier League needs to revoke all their memberships today. Right now.

Unfortunately I don't expect any serious consequences in the next few days, just more posturing and brinkmanship.

Kroneke has a new $2b stadium in LA which he built after uprooting a different team to move to LA

You see that hits the nail on the head.
‘Legacy fans’
‘Fans of the future’

let’s call it was it is.
‘fans’
‘Consumers’

Product.
Franchise.

......playing Devils Advocate;

1) If invited, would Everton have joined the European League?

2) Would your reaction be the same if Everton had joined?

There will be allegations of ‘sour grapes’, so might even be worth a options/questionnaire thread.

If that was Everton I’d be scared we lose 11-12 lol

 

[barneygumble]

How can’t they see the irony of this?

The struggling leagues create a diluted, unwatchable product, because they financially favour the richer teams so it’s “boring” because no other team can compete.
