Champions League revamp

[NewRadical]

The opportunity was there for UEFA to take back power and not be threatened by these Clubs.

That 'punishment' confirms to those Clubs that they are bigger than the rest of football. They'll soon acquire greater power and preference again.

We'll just have - even more so - a greater divide between those Clubs and others creating less competition. A Super League within the Champions League.

A very depressing end to this. I thought briefly that we were about to get football back.

The Premier League have to deduct them of points.

Said previously the whole thing is a farce from the start. I don’t believe those high up who said they were unaware either like Klopp and Pep.

Personally I’m done, the game was becoming soulless before this anyway. I love Everton , however the game itself is clearly bias towards certain clubs, the media are shameful too and I’ve just had enough. Countless of horrible , disingenuous people making a fortune.

Are we still clinging to the hope these clubs will get a punishment that actually effects them in a significant way ?

Watch the premier league their knickers too

Uefa have got them to sign a contract that if they join a super league again, they will have to pay £100m

But they won’t care cos they were all getting £300m from joining the super league !

There is no deterrent.

15 million between the gang of them is pennies.

Uefa just bent right over and showed their hoop

£100m fine if a club leaves is probably unenforceable as how would Uefa have any jurisdiction if a club leaves?..

Moronic but probably decided upon by the clubs themselves. Uefa shooting themselves in the foot again.

Whatever goodwill Uefa had from fans (if any) from how this played out is now totally gone.

R.e. the fine, I imagine it’s a legally binding contractual agreement. So enforceable in court.

lol

Glazers saying they will personally pay Uniteds fine.

After ripping a billion out of them.

Go team.

Interesting lack of any PL in the list as well as the fact these teams still enjoyed growth in 2020

Basically got away scot free. Custards.

A joke .... but entirely predictable ! PL will do nothing as well. We would probably have been farther ahead if the scabs had left.
