Champions League revamp

[LABlue2]

Unfortunately the trusts have no real say in the actual club though so I'm not sure it really does much besides saying that we feel for the fans who don't want this.

Well for example, if all of the local fans worked together and boycotted going to the game (when crowds return), it might hurt a bit if Anfield only had 10k fans in it and fans outside were picketing.

It's called a strike from everybody who works there. That would be the way to make the owners walk, when they lose value in their investment. But that would also mean you'd have to somehow block people from joining. The strike would probably mean there's some sort of 'legal' action taken on the players/staff which would need to be supported by the rest of us somehow. Otherwise they could run down their contracts and not renew.

The biggest problem is when you're organising a group is to act united. Because it only takes a few from a large group to be tempted. And this is why money/power wins all (most) of the time.

combined with this. Get the actual players and fans from these super clubs on your side rather than villainizing them. Imagine if all 12 super clubs players refused to plan until the end of the season and 10k fans showed up outside the stadium during the previously scheduled match time to protest. That’s how you break this thing. Realistic? Not really. But this is my general point, call upon the non-owners to “do the right thing” and mobilize the fans against these owners

Pay whatever the penalties are and walk away.

Both Chelsea and City can afford to.



d) they know they have to say something, but have nothing of consequence to say, so they go on in front of the least hostile audience possible in the time slot least likely to generate coverage and hope for the best.

But I don’t see that as a professional public relations strategy. Yes it might be a pig of an idea but at least you try to put lipstick on it.

Agree with Rory Smith (~5mins in) on this podcast

There is a way to present this that at the least means that the fans of the clubs involved have some material to argue for the Super League, instead there was no initial no counter argument for those fans to latch onto so you leave them influenced by their own thoughts, Sky (who obviously have their own reasons for not liking it) or none SL fans who won’t be in favor.

Add to this you leave your own managers facing the music when they had no part in the decision and very clearly thrown under a media bus and it is an utter mess of a rollout.

Diana Kristinne is talking a hell of a lot of sense on this. Here is just one example

While I think the whole concept of a super league is totally abhorrent, to penalise one specific team and not the entire group isn’t justifiable.

 

[MrGrumpy]

my take on MNF

GN: Totally against it
JG: not sure he actually against it. Spoke a load of drivel and found it hard to go against his RS team, stupid questions to the Palace chairman
PL: Are going to do zero today and beg them not to do it

Here is one pertinent to us

"We give UEFA £350m a week, let's give that to grassroots instead".

"Get me a a big red bus Ed, and we'll have this sorted in no time".

I hope they're kicked out, I don't know about everyone else but I don't want these clubs in the league anymore, a line has been crossed for me.

 

[atrottel]

Presumably the clubs will be saving money on their youth development (since no sane parent would sign up their son to a banned club when there is virtually no chance of them making it there).

People need to overcome their fears of the short term and realize the potential down the road

GTFOH, you have been following football less time than I've sat on the crapper, you're an American, you're views are invalid.

Starting to look like we are relying on the government to stop this. I wonder if that was considered in their war gaming
