Champions League revamp

[Curtis]

I didn't catch the initial shellacking that Neville unleashed but they had him on NBCSN and he provided an exceptional and compelling repudiation of the derogatory premise

What if FIFA back it?

If they do then it opens the door to the rest of the world to join. Although I cant see Boca v Madrid or Corinthians v Citeh on a Wednesday evening due to time zone changes but who knows?

 

[nikom court]

All the RS Fans very quiet, Like they were when they Furloughed the tea lady

all you get out of them is some bollards about earning a dining spot at the top table!

FIFA came out ages ago as against it...

... so if they've backed it now, it can only mean a global competition.

It'll never happen. There isn't money like that in South America

The risk of players getting banned from domestic leagues should be enough to stop this going ahead... Competition for places in a 12 or whatever team league would be insane, and if they don't make there or get injured they're screwed

 

[Wat Tyler]

Very curious how this 9:30 announcement will be worded

While I think this "European Super League" idea is a complete disgrace, I think there needs to be a revamp of the Premier League, it's a system that has run its course. There needs to be less teams like Norwich, Fulham, WBA, Burnley, Brighton etc and more emphasis on quality. I would favor the Premier League being cut from 20 teams to 14 teams, with more quality on show. Right now, Premier League is full of irrelevant games like Brighton vs WBA and this is not conducive for the league, in terms of a commercial standpoint.

You can get paid 300k a week to play 6 games a year.
Or 5k a week to play in the domestic leagues and play for your country.

Which option do you think they will pick?

I don't know. I genuinely think players like playing for their countries so would think twice if faced with losing that.

Plus you can't be at these clubs forever. When you hit your 30's and teams are looking to replace you; where do you go if you're now banned from all domestic football across Europe?

Get in the bin

 

[MisterJ]

then that is absolute proof this is a franchise competition

If UEFA don't back it, FIFA won't go against them.

I hear there is a fantastic commercial standpoint to be found at the lowest levels of those bins at the back of restaurants.

[longers]

Is it even confirmed there is an announcement at 9:30 ?

If it happened mate there would be much less money involved in the old game.

Most players will pick the riches sadly.
