Champions League revamp

[hktoffee]

This is a legal nightmare for all parties especially UEFA who somehow have to appease the sponsors and they have some heavy hitters in their sponsorship pool .
Some of them aren't exactly going to be excited sponsoring a West Ham Sampdoria CL final .

There should be disclaimer in the contract terms?

It's difficult to keep a straight face listening to Sky Sports News and Kaveh Solhekol in particular cry-arsing about this situation. He had the cheek to call these clubs "The so-called Big 6" where Sky more than anyone have pandered to and spoon-fed and nurtured the idea of the Big 6. They've treated them like a favourite child for years and now they're majorly disappointed when they find out that their blue-eyed-boy has gone and sold the family silver and screwed the cat.

Sky, the Premier League and (more recently) BT have a lot to answer for in creating the greed which exists in football today. It's all well and good Gary Neville ranting on about these current manoeuvres (and I agree with almost everything he said) but he works for an institution which has in part created this environment in the first place.

Let them go for **** sakes, but don't let them back in.

Let them back in when it goes tits up but let them back in at the bottom of the pyramid. Just like would happen with anyone else.

The year’s 2025, the mighty Ev have just done their second Champions League and Premier league double in a row... times are good... the RS are playing in the national league north battling with United and City for promotion after the super league went bellies up

Palace and Everton going on a European tour

I'd love to go on a European tour with Roy Hodgson, "I first managed here during the reign of Diocletian, of course the game has changed a lot since then, less lions for starters"

What? And do to the Scottish leagues what we are complaining about here? For real?

It's not the same. They'd be joining a footballing pyramid. They can get relegated - they could be playing Leyton Orient in a few seasons time if things didn't go well.

What the Super League does is the opposite - there's no consequence for failure. It's a closed shop.

18 teams at 30 man squads. That's the guts of 500 players

Why would they need 30 players
They only play each other , no domestic comps
Plus their academies would die as they would not be allowed into domestic comps

I'm a bit behind because I had to pause the radio and go on a work meeting, but absolutely delusional talksport caller came on fully supportive of the ESL. Wants to play only the top teams every week and laughed at thought lesser leagues deserve to play in europe. Seemed oblivious or probably more ambivalent to fact fans would be priced out.

Turns out he was a kopite. Imagine my surprise.

That’s 2 out of the supposed 3.

if they get promoted they’ll end up playing a team owned by Deadpool

They have begun launching preemptive legal cases to try and prevent the governing bodies sanctioning them. Utterly disgusting.

What about a Bayern v Dortmund final or Bayern v PSG final

they will all fail

I know it doesn't matter but I wrote to the club asking them to expunge the clubs from the league. If they want to leave so bad, so be it. It's like begging with a bird to stay when she wants out. It might hurt at first but there is no reason to stick with them and is better in the end.

I hope you didn't include the analogy about your ex bird
