Champions League revamp

[catcherintherye]

That hands the European field to PSG and Bayern, which in turn weighs on the value of the sponsorships, the ability to attract players and the cost of doing so, which drives them further down the spiral as the red ink mounts.

Let's be direct about it - they're all afraid of becoming us, only with their wage bills. All they have to do is look at Arsenal to see that possibility quite clearly.

And they are right to be. They have awful financial results. This was a way out. Not anymore.

Can everyone stop posting until the morning please? 5 minutes is bad enough to catch up, never mind 8 hours..

Okay I'll keep radio silence until the legend that is Davek turns up to eloquently and with much rationality discuss the RS's involvement with this train wreck .
I think we can all do with a bit of that after today's shenanigans .

Yes pretty much. The only bit I would contend, is Barca don't seem as far in as Real. Laporte has already said the fans will get to vote, and they will vote not to join.

Real Madrid and Juventus seem a long way in, but behind them United and Liverpool are equally in. If anyone has underwritten promises or guarentees it is likely to be them.

I do wonder if these people, particularly Perez live in the real world.

When you do what you want, have been bailed out by the state every time you cock*d up; you dont pal. He is deluded

so remove the rules of the competition because if you have to punish a club for breaking them you will only be hurting the fans?

It's the owners though isnt it. Chelsea fans sat in a street tonight, Liverpool fans made their feelings fairly clear. Social media all day was full of fans and players standing up against the move. So now we go ahead and relegate, deduct points from these fans clubs. Strange to me anyway.

Noooooooooooooo

Disagree , your only punishing the fans

Sucks to be them then. Relegate them, it's the owner that loses money the teams are still there for their fans to go and watch.

Its all business at the end of the day.

Arsenal out next.

 

[GwladysBlue]

NEVER forget that Liverpool and Man Utd are not these ‘fierce rivals’ they are Brothers in Arms.

The Kent Derby.

Yes, to quote Simmons, they have "had metaphorical carnal relations with the proverbial pooch" and are flailing for a way out.

It'll be the usual "we misread the mood of our clients erm I mean fans blah blah blah".
