Champions League revamp

[JMT]

I know the players don't get a say because the club pay their wages but you wouldn't imagine most would be on board with this idea anyway, Banned from national team, Playing the teams week in week out, It'll never happen and should not be allowed to happen.

Euro super league would collapse inside 5 years.. fans will get bored, the novelty would wear off

Unfortunately without these clubs, the rest suffer too....tv revenue from around the world nose dives without them....we and the PL need the Big clubs....the big clubs seem to be gambling that they don't need domestic leagues anymore..



News of potential broadcasting deals will be interesting...clearly SKY are currently out of the loop....if this league is set up, and gets its own network (like a football netflix), or a series of global tv deals, then it will happen.
And the PL immediately loses its Asian Market, American Market, every market...even tv ratings in England without the fan base of the big clubs will be massively effected...

Lol no one will watch them or play for them.

The only way the premier league and FA can respond is by threatening to not recognise them in any domestic competition permanently going forward and not be allowed back in.

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.

No. The opposite needs to happen. The Premier League needs to go back to 24 teams, and the European competition's need condensing down to simple round robin's, instead of mini leagues.

I think it is a ploy to get UEFA to allow them to be in CL permanently

Greedy rats

I find the current champions league boring.
Probably because it’s not really the champions is it.

And the old knockout competition was boss.

From the BBC

“The European governing body released a joint statement together with the English Football Association, Premier League Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), La Liga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) as well as Serie A on Sunday.

They said they will "remain united" in trying to stop the breakaway, using both judicial and sporting measures if required.

They also reiterated Fifa's stance that players taking part in the Super League would be banned from all other competitions at domestic, European or world level and could be prevented from representing their national teams”

Don’t punish them this time. But the PL should put out a statement that effective tomorrow, any further attempt to break away for a European super league, will be considered treason and immediately suffer a 20M pound fine and a 15 point deduction.

Not going forward. Today. Right now. If this is what they want then they should go right now.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Uefa / Premier League can threaten them all they want, but we all know as soon as the clubs flutter their eyelashes again, they'll be welcomed back with open arms.

100% and they'll fall for it like they always do.

Or that then good riddance forever
