Champions League revamp

[Dom1878]

Would that not make us bad as them? We should do a revamp of the league. Perhaps 16 teams and then have a US style regular season which will decide the European places and then a post season between the top 8

Not necessarily, it'd be a case of replacing one set of revenue with another. By bringing in the full scottish league as opposed to just the two clubs, it'd mean more money for all clubs involved, and the PL would remain one of the strongest around.

The big issue is if you get rid of the Greedy 6, Sky won't be paying as much money...

Finally. Thank you.

I'd be absolutely fuming if the club was signed up to this, the whole thing is an absolute farce.

So you mean you want everton to be called Liverpool City FC?

 

[USABlue]

You give Ashley, The dildo twins, the bellend at Fulham, Fellas at Wolves and other clubs far too much credit.

The list of owners that care about their fans over money is ZERO in this league, they will do whats best for their money.

No, I'm not saying they will all vote, hell they might surprise me, but there are 14 owners crapping their pants at the prospect of "going alone", trust me.

To be fair to the Fulham guy, he owns the Jacksonville NFL team and they're gash but he hasn't tried to move them like Kroneke did with the Rams

I dont know if you know, but NA CSGO has died on its arse, all the orgs pulled out, most of the players have gone to Valorant.

But Uncle Ali has a team we could follow and Andre Gomes.

I don't follow it that closely but I know Valorant essentially did a hostile takeover.

Also Aguero owns a team.

Got to laugh at how the media and the big 6 socialista fans are painting this as the possible beginning of the "haves and the have nots" as if that hasn't been ongoing for decades. This is just the straw that broke the camels back.

Sky in particular can have a look at themselves. They definitely have an interest in firing up the public against this because it won't be their product.

Sky started all this crap with the top 4 and it’s spiralled out of control from there.

there was never a top 4 or 6 to begin with it was an artificial creation to pander to those supporters

Looking at having to pay nearly 800 notes for Season ticket, could probably buy Tranmere for that.

not really - its bad but its not worse than no top 6 teams... (in terms of tv revenue)



the 14 clubs aren't stupid... they'll condemn the other 6 clubs, but wave a bit of money in their face and they'll kiss and make up

And that would be me done tbh.

Is it actually happening or wha?

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Manchester United's stockmarket value has risen by $250m today, on something the Nasdaq is terming the European Franchise League.

 

[Houghty19]

Best solution is to set up a new premier league and only invite the 14 plus others from the championship. After all thats how the premier league was set up initially.

 

[argietoffee]

How are our beloved Spirit of Shankly inspired brethern from Norway, Ireland, South East England and South East Asia reacting to this?

 

[tommye]

if UEFA and FIFA hold their nerve England could be without the following:
Dean Henderson
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Shaw
TAA
Rhys James
Gomez
Chilwell
Henderson
Foden
Mount
Winks
Sako
Sterling
Greenwood
Rashford
Kane

Arsed about England?


Nope

Fair enough, I was a bit harsh I feel, doesn't seem a bad sort the fella Khan.

 

[DaChunk]

With JP Morgan behind it? Probably.

We just have to pray for a clean break and ban them from the PL

I don’t care if those so called to teams are gone as I’m not part of the sky PlayStation generation and remember football as it was.

Once those joke clubs are gone football will take a hit but it will reset unless your saying the 98% of football supporters who don’t support those clubs will suddenly stop supporting their club
