Champions League revamp

[toffee-L]

The thing is it isn't sustainable if they get kicked out of the domestic leagues. No chance the Super League is going to replace all the revenue from the domestic and CL.

It probably could in the short term depending on what kind broadcast and sponsorship deals they get, which I imagine will be substantial at the inception phase, but long term, yes it will absolutely go belly up.

These clubs realise that this direction will lead them to the States or to the Far and Middle East. They will abandon their supporters and have to acclimatise to a new cultural audience. They will probably change the rules of football to engage these audiences. They will likely rebrand their names, badges, kits and everything else that once made them what they where.

Meanwhile back on planet Earth, the English, Spanish and Italian leagues after a few rocky years of restricted broadcasting deals regain their footing and replace the void left by the deserters with new blood. The leagues will be revitalised by new found levels of competition. European club football will also experience a resurgence.

This is the reset that football has needed for the last decade. These 12 clubs must be allowed to die so that the rest of us can live.

Supporters Trusts of these clubs should already be starting to form their 'Phoenix' clubs. Your football club as you know it and loved is dead.

I'm gobsmacked that City have signed up to this Perez led farce.

 

[mightymoyes]

So perez is actually insane and they've put him in charge!
You'd think these guys would all be pretty smart to be where they are but I'm not sure they've even thought this all through, greed has got the better of them

I don’t rate DBB but I hope for the love of god she steps forward tomorrow and shows the way forward.

Hopefully Moshiri and co empower her to do so and become the best she can be.

Couldn't agree more. It's the market crash effectively we've been craving.

I've been craving the same thing in terms of gaming. The industry eats itself. It's not enough to have a lot of money; they have to have all the money.

Perez is an abomination. I assume decency, fairness, reason, justice, and truth are all "legacy" qualities that can be discarded at will.

Anyone that's been following football for the last two decades knows he's never had them. He's a huckster, a Spanish P. T. Barnum with just as much regard for the suckers.

So all this country's supporter groups of the dirty dozen have unanimously disavowed it - what of Real's supporters? If this talk was coming out of our chairman I'd want him gone yesterday.

Beyond funny.

My interest is Everton has waned massively over the past few years. My interest in wider football is now totally nonexistent... Couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a match that we weren’t involved in.

I hope this goes ahead just to purge the PL and CL of the boring predictability of the same old clubs winning everything.

Don't want to go to bed incase one of the Yank owners does a trainwreck interview on CNN or something. Be hard to top Perez though.

It’s a bold strategy alright

Easy mistake, but being rich doesn't necessarily equate to being smart.

Rich people are more prone to being ridiculous risk takers. If they haven't inherited what they have, that's how they get it. For every one that get lucky, there's hundreds more dead from a heroin overdose somewhere.

No there can't - you don't have promotion or relegation hahahaha
