Champions League revamp

[davek]

An editorial in sports daily L’Equipe says the Super League members are “traitors”. “If they continue with their project, we will never forgive them," it reads. "We won’t forgive them if they give it up, either. The 12 clubs will remain traitors of a shared ideal for a long time still. They’ve showed they’re ready to kill off European football, its essence, its history and its beauty with their cynicism and greed.”

Exactly right. Never forgive. Never forget. Even if they do step away from this proposed league.

If this actually happens football as we know it is dead anyway. I'd rather be dining at the top table than "super sunday" clashes with West Ham.

Not the top table though is it? 30-odd friendlies a year for the JP Morgan cup and the adulation of Asia. Amazing. Give me west ham all day.

That's the issue. Easy enough to say [Poor language removed] the 6 off, but the Prem and UCL are dead if this goes through one way or another. I don't think fans of any club are really into this, but it will take a few more massive clubs [Poor language removed] it off before it's really dead in the water.

That’s demeaning the other teams in this league, all teams play a part in it, without each other it simply doesn’t function. I look forward to every game, they all have meaning.

I happen to like the football pyramid, we are the only country in the world with so many football teams, we care, we are passionate and we all or most of us dare I say, have kicked a ball around at grass roots level. I'm really not into elitism in the slightest our football needs protecting from these american sharks.

A ready made excuse for Klippety to quit.

Is this legit, can't see anything in the press?

 

[PaddyJames]

But how do you know we weren't considered worthy? We are backed by one of the richest men in the world. They want money. You seriously believe uzzy didn't know about it?

Come off it mate.

The point I'm making is we would all rather be classed as in the big 6 and challenging for trophies. We would be rightly fuming about this league breakaway whatever it is but we adapt, it's human nature. Not sure how it works but say we won the first version of it the city would be bouncing in blue.

Fake unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure it’s a wind-up.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Thats either a bad lie or the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. That's the problem with an element of our support, zero ambition.

Mate this 'Super League' is the opposite of ambition... what you on about??

No

I honestly doubt he will. They'll be no big transfer fees between these super clubs, what's the motivation for a player to move?

They're copying the American system. He'll want fans to support players not clubs. This is designed to build Lebrons.
