Champions League revamp

[Jeff Jones]

It was interesting to hear Syd Lowe on ESPN tonight quote Gerard Pique as saying he was not in favour of this because 'We're going to end up with
clubs like Villareal, Sevilla, Everton and Napoli being worth nothing, and I don't want that to happen.'

Apparently the leaving fee is £130M.....who gets that I wonder....they’ve all been stitched up by RM and Barca.....

It'd be nice if they stopped acting like they're doing this for everyone else

Ouch!

That is why none of them have left.

What a hole they have dug for themselves.

Is the lack of scantions from uefa confirmed now? Only saw the Dail Heil article and I'm not trusting that!

If it's true then wow.

A lesson from uefa in how to go from a position of weakness to an even weaker one - the traitorous 12 will be at this again in no time.

Ceferin should be sacked.

So the leaving fee is either £8 million, £300 million or £130 million.

One of those is okay, one is very bad, and one is very, very bad.

Any leaving fee whatsoever for Tottenham is hilarious, given their already tricky financial difficulties + Mourinho sacking.

Exactly what I was thinking... RM and Barca will no doubt receive the 'fine' money!!! lol

 

[Martin Alvito]

So Ceferin called in his favors and repaid them in the currency he had available. This is not surprising.

I suppose that Putin got more fixtures, if admittedly less desirable ones, since he was in a position to drive a harder bargain.

 

[StevenSeagull]

Actually that’s not true. It was the government and FA threats that stopped it. Had the government not got involved it would of carried on. The fans say mean nothing to these teams

Respectfully, I disagree. The speed with which this turn around happened was down to fan anger.

Plus sacking mourinho on same day... Poss cos money was due in?

They have pulled out....
