Champions League revamp

Just listening to Talksport, and similar to my thinking. Kick them out (it's a must after what they've done) and bring in Celtic/Rangers? This way TV Revenue would still remain high hopefully, which is what all this is about, and the change over is minimal. All clubs in the PL would win as they'd be getting the world class players who are quitting...
 

I'm up for the ESL (and I will call it the ESL) but only on the condition that the opportunity is used to introduce some innovative and marketable new rules to the game. Reverse penalties? Powerplays for the first ten mins when goals count double? Celebrity Refs?

2025: "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" bellows Russell Crowe from the dugout of the Emirates, as his Arsenal team claw three back in the last quarter, thereby awarded the Jake Paul Bonus Penalty of the Moment and a chance to take the game into a crossbar shootout

What happens to the Scottish league?

I don't think it is too late. The Premier League could drive a wedge between the zealots and the waverers of the six by setting a deadline. Any teams not standing down from this before Friday will be punished, say.

That could bring the whole thing down.

I think it’s too late for that now. This is the second time this lot have threatened to break away in the last year. UEFA and the PL have to show some teeth now or they may as well just give up. This will always be hanging over them until someone makes a stand.

And what about the poor SPL clubs who rely on Celtic/Rangers?

The whole thing of inviting the bigot brothers is shameless and no better than these 12 snake clubs.

Would we have to give other Scottish teams the ability to get promoted into the premier league though? I’m just thinking of the potential damage it could do to those remaining teams. Maybe a competition between the winner of the runners up of the championship?
 
This is a potential legal minefield that might stop it from ever getting off the ground.

If the ESL isn't recognised by any existing governing body, then neither will coaching certificates, transfer fees and all manner of different agreements and conventions.

Non-ESL clubs should all formally agree to place transfer fee levies on non-FIFA accredited organisations that want to buy their players. A Premier League club wants to buy DCL? Ok, fair market value. An ESL club wants to sign him? Fair market value + £100m.
