Champions League revamp

[Goat]

Has anyone said what happens if one of the clubs that qualify for the super league on merit actually go on and win it? If 15 clubs can't be relegated and 5 teams qualify then does that mean the champions go down?

Of course it won't happen due to the officials that get hand picked...I mean selected to referee the games but still.

They get the prize money and will probably be invited next year, maybe.

Government forcing fan ownership. The final outcome may upend everything these owners want. By doing this, they are forcing government action.
The backlash feels like it’s going to be huge.

I think animal/bird names, NFL style, is definitely the way to go when these franchises are renamed.
Suggestions?

The Liverpool Dodos?

He didn’t even say slated, he said DESTROYED.

“Jurgen Klopp DESTROYS owners with facts and logic”

Must have been on a different show.

Exactly, everyone climb out of nevilles hoop please

They want the money they generate.

Cos lets be honest, they all generate the most, they want it all, they don't want to share with "lesser clubs", they want to share it will other teams that bring revenue and Spurs.

I can kinda see their point, but its selfish and greedy, hence everybody reaction.

They can't generate the money without the rest of the league.

That's why they thought this was a good idea. Failing to realise people don't suddenly tune in because big clubs are playing each other, they do it because knockout football is more interesting to watch.

Correct.

That’s why the World Cup is always so great, even if you’re watching Kuwait v Bulgaria. The games mean something every step of the way. That is so much more important than the players or teams you’re watching.

Football itself is what makes football great. Stoke v West Brom is just as likely to serve up an entertaining game as Chelsea v Man City. The stakes are what matter.

I'd say more likely after Saturday

It'll be politically extremely popular too with the 'Red Wall' seats. Could even be primary policy in terms of an election.

This super league will not happen.

I hope it does, I want rid of them now

Im sorry to say but they really can.

As Neville said, £5 a game, direct to smart phones, 150million United fans worldwide.

Do that maths.

They have to play someone

Me too mate. But I think they will get more money from Uefa and come crawling back with a slap on the wrist

"Marxism"

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Yeah but the gravy train has a lot less bisto on board. The top 6 bring money to the game. Burnley v villa doesn’t have many neutrals watching. Man Utd v villa does

But if the "top 6" get the lion's share of the money coming into the game, does it matter, net/net?

The other 19 scabs.
