Champions League revamp

[canuckblue]

Would you if you team get expelled from the domestic league?

Again, I said I wouldn't mind Everton being of the calibre needed to be invited to join. I also said I would not want us to do so.

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

No

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.

The scab 6 for all eternity

Fair play, if that’s him then my respect for him has grown significantly.

They want to stay in the league because that's important to their brand value and the interest in this ESL. Less interest to the ESL and their sponsorships if they can't also compete in that competition. Its 38 games.

How many people in Europe will give a toss about watching Spurs play Real Madrid every 8 weeks? They need the prestige from being best in their countries to engage their plastic support that they're counting on to fund this scheme.

Boot them out the league and it falls on its arse after a couple of years and gets treated like a failed project.

In case I wasn't clear, I meant the super league, not the Premier League.

Keep your respect meter in place, it's not him

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

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.

Just no, plenty of Mancs and Kopites are not happy in my anecdotal world and ready to walk away...

And reading their fan groups there is a firm nope building. There is such a a thing as too much of a good thing, first season ok then gloss of playing these big teams regularly will wear thin.

It's got nothing to do with fans, or football as a sport. It's all about certain football businesses protecting it's brands and investments, at the expense of others.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I’m pretty sure it’s a wind-up.

No

Yeah that's what I thought. Absolutely nothing in the press with Klopp quotes. He has a game today and has press responsibilities so didn't expect to hear from him until then. And that's fair enough. I'll judge on what he says later.

 

[Jamiednm]

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?

Think more about players being signed from non-ESL clubs - the transfer fees would be gargantuan, as would the agents' percentage.

 

[Terrarian]

What on earth will happen if they get the go ahead to participate in both, where do we as fans go from there?

 

[LocalNative]

Just so everyone is aware.. this didn't happen.

 

[allen]

He hasn't actually said this.

But I think it'd be enormously helpful if he said something similar.
