Champions League revamp

[bluerobert]

Already 3 promoted, 6 leaving so 6 needed to replace them.

Thought I was going mad then

6 teams leave the league meaning there’s 14. Of those 14 3 go down. You’ve still got a deficit of 6 teams. So promote another 6 and there’s your 9

Well, if it was me, I wouldnt have relegation, promote the top 2 and the 4 teams in the playoffs.

Yeah I just assumed we wouldnt relegate anybody, thus still have 14 teams and needing only 6 new 1s.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Fair question - what if the 6 say "we're playing Superleague whether you like it or not, you decide if you want us in the PL"

Every fibre of us wants to see the PL chuck them out, but when it comes down it, Parrish certainly implied there is not chance that they will

You expected him to say, live on TV, without conferring with the other Chairmen, that the scab 6 will be kicked out? Really?

Its a good idea but I can see the Championship teams having a problem with that

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

not necessarily - the rights can still be held by the clubs, the money JP Morgan are stumping up is secured against them (the clubs) rather than the league or the rights (which might not exist yet)

as in JPMorgan give the RS £400 million, secured against the RS's TV deal

Madrid taking their European Cup wins with them and will be known as the 'european super championships"

That is also my expectation - it's a no-brainer way to buy three votes, and no one will say anything about it.

Ohhhh.

You have exposed our flaws.









I mean God no, not a chance am I sharing our money with League Two teams.

That distribution of wealth was what made football great when I was a kid. Swansea coming up through 4 divisions, Northampton did the same. Always new teams coming through, and nobody could afford to buy all of the good players so they were spread around.

Its a better solution than promoting 9 Championship sides, IMO.

Has the wealth ever been fairly distributed tho?

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.

maybe they won't need to just be happy to make up the numbers if them 6 are booted out

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Would this affect Colombia at all? @Sassy Colombian, @UptheTofees any of your top players on any of these teams?

Brazil might have a big hit but not PSG isn't going along with it and neither are we, that's 2.

Based on what has been said today it will definitely affect not only Colombian player buy any player that wishes to play for the National Team. So I really hope players are reaching out to their managers and express disapproval.

I'm totally disgusted at the greed of these 12 European football clubs that are willing to go into a civil war and destroy European football and less richer teams because their avarice is too big.
