Champions League revamp

Anything but kicking them out will make the 14 almost complicit in UEFA’s eyes - I think they (we) have a lot more to lose if we don’t take a hard line.

if it’s down to a 75% vote, really easily dealt with - just start refereeing games with the benefits to others that they’ve enjoyed for years, wouldn’t mind us getting half the pens United do - soon relegate a few of them and vote them out of both leagues with a nice majority.

I don’t think anyone is arguing it’ll make a lot of money.

I'm not sure they can make more money if they get kicked out of the domestic leagues though. The dual revenue streams of CL and PL are going to be very tough to match with just the Super League. That's why all the stuff insists they aren't leaving the domestic leagues, because they know even if they're putting out a half arsed side they need to have that money to or they'll end up down.

Do the math, though. Twelve teams at 25 players (approx.) means about 300 spots. Not every top-calibre player on the planet will be able to play in that league. Furthermore, if they're prohibited from international play by FIFA/UEFA, how many would actually want to? There'll be plenty of excellent players for clubs like ours to sign.

Why would you assume they’d cap it at 25 players. They’ll have double that.
 

If they do all get kicked out of the domestic leagues and CL/EL I wonder what the players will do. Stay and play in the super league for £££ but 1 trophy and boring competition, or want to play in current domestic leagues and EL/CL Euros and WC?

Vote to make the league 24 teams from next year and have the additional 4 teams vote them out too.

I can't even see it coming off to be honest but I'm absolutely furious today. I feel sick to the stomach. The thought of James, Richarlison, Digne being on the phone to their agents over it etc. The games done. Right when it was starting to get exciting for us. I'm livid
