Champions League revamp

[catcherintherye]

Fans of supporters trusts of the 14 other clubs should make a signed statement to the PL saying if they aint kicked out we are staying away from the grounds next season.

Watch the PL fall completely if they push away the ones staying behind.

This is a great move and exactly what should happen.

Klopp doesnt understand the banners being took from the Klopp as he and the players have done nothing wrong. Surely he is intelligent enough to realise its not aimed at the players. Bit of a bad take that

A clear case of deflection.

I thinkI heard Jay Mckenna make the point, the deal is going down even if they stay. Everyone knows they've got no long term commitment to the PL. It's not going to end with a midweek competition. The broadcasters are going to look at those clubs and know they can't trust them and all logic says they start sticking a 2nd string here.

The deal is going down. Even without all this super league stuff it was going down. There's short termism from those clubs, but give the blunt way they have announced this, and the wide spread condemnation I think everyone can see whats happening and what has to happen.

I don't know if you saw Parish's interview on MNF. It was really interesting. Essentially said they will try and talk them round to stay. When asked about how many clubs it would need to kick them out (seems to be some debate whether 14 or 15) he was quite clear (in tone as much as words)if they walk away then of course they can and will be kicked out. That was what his whole body language said.

If I was reading the mood, I'd say they will resolve to speak to those clubs again, and essentially ask them to reconsider, but if they don't they will be gone.

I personally think it's the wrong approach but I do understand it. I have to say, talking them round to stay, as a group of 6 would be the worst outcome in all of this.

Completely agree - the haircut will be significant, but obviously way more without the 6 and I think that is the reality every which way you look at it. Revenue (Short term) will supersede everything for the 14, possibly with the exception of us and LCFC; who might argue the bigger picture

Re Parrish - Yes, I watched it, I thought he really let the 14 down essentially admitting they need the 6. Even if it's just a bluff, keep your council for the moment.

Just can see them being banned from the league. Too many clubs are just happy to make up the numbers. Palace, Burnley etc. They might be able to get the revenue re-distributed and might make a few extra million from it after being sweet talked by the big six teams.

Oh look. European Super Elite Merseyside Red struggling to beat minows Leeds

Doesnt matter to the RS . Whether they get 4th or not they wont be in the CL.next season lol

There is no way JP Morgan would provide finance without it.

They have the biggest sports teams in world football already with a track record of being at the forefront of generating billions, coming to them with a proposal. They won't need pre-sold TV rights to generate funding.

In fact, they don't have any TV rights to sell as it's not set in stone. They'll more than likely offer the TV rights when its got a start date for more money to set up bidding wars.

Love the fact that people are saying our club won’t exist without this lot. We might as well pack it all in now. lol. Bloody imbeciles.

You can see why PSG have pulled out.

What is fascinating is if City break it.

I think City and Chelsea can probably be pulled back. In honesty I really couldn't care less about them as they offer nothing. If you culd pull City and Chelsea back, by promising to ease some regulations there's a good case to say the PL/CL is as strong an offering as the super league.

It did go through my head earlier - wonder if this is their "great revenge" on the establishment - that said, I think city need the European giants (for what abu dhabi are trying to achieve) more than they need City

People on the internet are weird

You do realise that you are a people on the internet

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

The fact is if those 6 have gone, you don't need to spend as much money on players and wages to compete, therefore a reduced TV deal won't be quite as detrimental as it would have been.

Plus the ESL clubs will be chucking fortunes at our clubs for our players just to be able to compete.

TBF there probably won't be any TV rights, just individual club ones.

 

[number4.]

And you can understand why tbh

Yeah for sure you can - thats why the "chuck em out" mob is a far to simplistic viewpoint

 

[bluerobert]

So if those 6 are kicked out what will they do? Keep it as a Prem of 14 or promote 9 teams from the championship?

The rights must surely be owned by JPMorgan otherwise what are they paying for?
