Champions League revamp

[daza_1973]

Serie A Assembly (Lazio, Roma, Napoli etc...): "With this much extra money we can't possibly compete with Inter, Milan and Juventus", to which Agnelli replied with: "I see no change, we've been winning for 80 years".

The arrogance

Doesn't it remind you of a couple of our local clubs owners/fans mindset?

Reports coming out that one of the six clubs is already trying to turn tail.

BBC saying otherwise so many different stories.

How pathetic are they going to look if they pull the plug now. Like what else did they expect?

Wonder how this ITK knows Roman Abramovich's plans lol

Presumably, he talks to people inside the club. It may be his dictatorship, but surely he has sounding boards, and just because he's ruthless as doesn't mean that he ignores advice.

Don't think there's any way of doing this. You can't punish owners without punishing their club.

The state insisting 51% fan owned.

Hope so. If teams pull out it starts to undermine the credibility of the proposal.

I don’t care if they pull out. They should still be thrown out of this year’s CL and given a 50 point deduction in the PL.

Spineless as well as being snides is worse.

It's Trevor Azul isn't it?

The more I read about this the more I think the top 6 wouldn't be bothered if they were kicked out the PL anyway and if anything would prefer to focus solely on the Super League.

As others have said this would essentially in time become the Premier League with the Premier League the equivalent of the Championship.

The PL has to act NOW - suspend them from the upcoming 2021/22 season with immediate effect and advise if they dont withdraw within 14 days thats them done.

UEFA hopefully also kick them out of the CL/EL this week also.

Noooo surely not?

the super league of 20 teams in a 2 x 10 league format is still all they are proposing.
They still fully intend to play in their domestic leagues.
You think they are happy to just play 18 games in the league and then the knock out stage? They are potentially only playing 20 games a season.

Rumours on Spurs forum from ITK is that Chelsea ready to pull out, statements and announcement to go out later. Lets see if true

If one pulls out the SL will collapse.

Spurs have shat themselves at the thought of being bottom of the league for 23 consecutive years.

Maybe normal people work in the media/press dept and has said something is being prepared

Take the requisite ownership share the same way LFC took those peoples' houses.

Oh God, if Chico strikes again on another account...

Maybe mate but I hope not. Bridges have been burned and I hate the other 14 clubs hanging around like jilted birds hoping for their cheating fella to agree to come back.

Chuck his belongings out the kin window.

Was sent the Mourinho rumour twice in group chats yesterday. One chat in aus, one chat back home in the uk. Incredible journo.

Agreed - Perez said it's binding last night; if that is shown to be incorrect it could well be over.

He actually always says the right things Moshiri. He’s not like any of the other mafiosos. Never hides away and says it how it is. I really like him.
