Champions League revamp

It's like hosting a party, it's 3am, your booze has been drunk dry, mess everywhere that you know you will have go sort it the morning, you're dying to hit the sack but unwanted guests are just hanging around and you keep saying to youself quietly "Just k'off home will you"

Have they left yet? I wish they would just k'off right now so I can go to bed.
 
These 6 will face crowd hostility like we’ve never seen when they turn up at PL away grounds next season.
I understand the calls for the ESL to be stopped, but I want it to play out and sit back and watch the resulting mess.
I gaurantee you liverpool will be the victims in all this and the greedy Glazers are driving it forward not man u , I for one dont want it stopped I want all involved scrubbed out of english football .
 

This is the big problem IMHO - there is definitely a long term play here for the 14, if they were brave and rode it out. it's reasonable to suggest they would be much better off. But at the end of the day, kick the 6 out and the current TV rights dont get paid as budgeted and the next 3 years of negotiations will be carnage. I think you are asking turkeys to vote for christmas this year, which they simply wont

Alot of the rumbling in the last few hours is suggesting that the superleague is on pretty solid legal grounds because of competition law and the only real punishments in play are removal from domestic leagues. I want to see this happen, it is the only mechanic that will have a true impact, but I dont think there is a chance of it
That’s a post I will put on a low shelf on the vaults so I can find it easily
 
Kroenke has already moved one of his clubs. And that was moving the Rams out of St Louis to go to LA...... even though he's from Missouri. His home town team!!!!


It's the market.

St Louis is a big place, with rich sporting history, but it's a small market. If you go to LA, it's all Rams, Lakers and Dodgers.... he's a businessman, and he's in my opinion the worst of the lot... Henry, Glazer? Not as bad as Kroenke, he will be having Arsenal playing all over the globe if he gets his way.

Dear Lee,

I feel it is only right that, as CEO of your football club, I write to you directly following the plans made public over the weekend for a European Super League.

As a proud custodian of Everton, I, along with my fellow board members, understand the responsibility that has been entrusted upon us to maintain the traditions of your Club and of the wider game.

Everton Football Club was a founder member of the Football League and a founder member of the Premier League.

Throughout our history the Club has always strived to move both Everton and the game forward. But we have always done so within the parameters of the pyramid structure which maintains the principles of open competition and sporting merit.

Sadly, the plans that have been made public by 12 clubs from across Europe - and six in our own Premier League - do not maintain those principles.

At this time of national crisis - in the face of a global pandemic and in a defining period for football - clubs should be working together collaboratively with the thoughts of our game and its supporters uppermost in our minds.

Disenfranchising supporters across the game and undermining the very structure of the pyramid that underpins the game we love is, quite simply, wrong.

The response from voices across the game and beyond over the last 48 hours is understandable – and those voices should be listened to.

Rest assured, I, along with my fellow board members, will do everything possible to ensure our position on these proposals is made in the strongest possible terms - and the voice of Evertonians is heard, loud and clear.

It remains our hope that by working collaboratively, football will find the right answer for its future.

NSNO.

that’s the official holding companies name (and could be changed easily) - look at all the branding, which says Super League.


I mean, I guess i'd argue is would they want to include a Boca or a Flamengo? Or is that diluting their selling power?

Surely they'll be wanting to target every corner of the world to conquer, surely it's not in their interests to have Boca grow as big as them, or Guangzhou and so on, if that makes sense?
