Champions League revamp

[Bohemian Toffee]

Ajax are said to be thinking their position over, the super league domain has a Dutch website but not one for Portugal or Belgium for example.

A transfer is the payment from a buying club to cease the existing contract of a player with a club so he can undertake a new one elsewhere.

If the existing governing bodies stated that a non-sanctioned club is not allowed to enter discussions on that basis, they absolutely can do that. It's not stopping employment, as there's nothing stopping the player buying up his contract and leaving on a 'free' and going elsewhere, but they can certainly stop two clubs negotiating for that asset. For example, see any given FIFA transfer ban implemented in recent years.

Oh thats better. Players can just run down their contracts and walk to the super league free of charge to the wealthiest football businesses on the planet.

It’s hard to know what to believe, too many stories.

So they’ve all signed a 23 year deal, and are sticking their tongues out saying you can’t stop us from doing it.

Only response at this point is to kick them out of their respective leagues. Enjoy your dead league.

That changes everything, I for one welcome our new grasping overlords

why 23? 20, 25, that's the only reasonable number.

It's the same with my wife, she puts the tv volume on 17 or 19, the absolute horror of it.

It’s too easy out there. They wouldn’t last a weekend on here.

Tuchel another one I've lost respect for

I don't think there'll need to be a vote - they've broken the rule against participation in non-sanctioned competition so blatantly and clearly that they're simply not eligible to compete in the Premier League as a result.

So the Premier League can just claim breach of contract and bin them.

And that should start with the Leeds v. Greeds (as Gary Neville put it! lol) game tonight. Broken the rules, not eligible to play.

Is right Trev lol

What he say

To paraphrase, 'I was brought to Chelsea to compete in the top competitions'

 

[Tubey]

Wow they've been badly advised...

Yes, they can certain do it. They can go off and form their own league no problem. I can go and form a bloody Super League if I wanted to.

But they can't do it and expect all the FA's, UEFA/FIFA to go "oh that's fine, carry on as normal in our leagues then, good stuff".

That's nothing to do with competition law.

 

[kenada_blue]

No, just bar them. There's no way of taking away the advantage - they need regulating, in that if a team is so absurdly out of line with the interests of football, they aren't allowed to participate.

If football can't regulate itself, then in the public interest the game should be regulated by the government. It's that serious.

The existing footballing bodies really need to understand the depth of feeling. Indeed, UEFA should be scrapping those Champions League overhauls immediately too - they won't as they and FIFA are as corrupt as it gets, but they should, because there's a clear line in the sand being drawn now between power transferring too far to the elite few away from sporting meritocracy as preferred by the masses of fans across the world.

That's what we'd all want to happen. But the reality is, it won't.

So there needs to be punishment where it hurts...and that's financial

He obviously wants in.

Has to be the response, boot them out now. 18 team PL next season, only relegate 2 this season and more teams promoted from championship to make up the 18
