Champions League revamp

[ForeverBlue92]

Once one of them does a U-turn, the whole idea will cave like a pack of cards.

Man City are the club in there with the most ties to their true fans. It’s on them to be the ones to pull out.

But why do we want this though?

Man City being in the league with the other 5 cartel will stop you EVER seeing Everton win a trophy in your lifetime mate. They wont stop be it FFP, CL wide card entries keeping these clubs kills the rest of us.

Im not arsed about the revenue or balance sheet I wouldn't care if we had to sell DCL and Richarlison tomorrow if it meant longer term I could see us win the title or the FA Cup in a fair system of competition in this country.

English Football has the chance to press the big red reset button but we wont as we are terrified of losing the gravy train.

I sincerly hope the big 6 keep going with these plans as its long term the best thing that could happen to this club.

let’s see if they got the stones to do what is right then

You better believe that they are writing a strongly worded email as we speak.

Stop second guessing the outcome and wait for the response eh?

Christ you’re annoying

Quite literally the point I have just made - Not that hard to comprehend

 

[daza_1973]

I'm a bit of a romantic and I'm still one of the few who look forward to international competition but do you think this is much of a threat ?
I'm asking in genuine faith as I remember the time when all eyes where on internationals and not so much as an annoyance .
I know Richarlison and most of the South American players genuinely do care about internationals but do the Europeans or Africans ?
I don't remember Spur's Son being particularly enthused about playing for his national side .

or doing his national service.

agree but there has to be a consequence, you can’t just float this crap, even as just a negotiating ploy, and just laugh it off when it blows up in your face

Btw as an American and a lifelong Red Sox fan who just threw his cap in the trash over Mr Henry’s role in this, I agree 100% with the anti Yank sentiment here re the negative influence of the American owners, the disrespect for the footballing culture in England, that the NFL franchise model is crap, etc. No comfort for you and I wouldn’t blame GOT for jettisoning the lot of us but this whole thing disgusts me.

Absolutely mate. They should be banned for Euro next season and point deductions for this season.

 

[zukai12_]

They can't be allowed to return without major punishment

transfer ban, point deductions, UEFA bans, this can not stand


and as a bonus we might be able to capitalise

 

[number4.]

30 points deduction if they do and kick em out of the fa cup.

Bunch of arrogant bells

Stop second guessing the outcome and wait for the response eh?

 

[ToffeeTim]

I agree.

I'm 100% saying that if they still intend to proceed after all these threats etc, then kick them out.

If they backtrack, they still need punishing, but that's where a balance comes in.

Definitely because it's one of the most obvious examples of bringing the game into disrepute that I've ever seen, if not the worst imo.

But that's probably why Moshiri brought up points deductions at this stage and not kicking the 6 out. That's only going to be a last resort I would guess, and I get that. As much as I'd love to boot them out and have a reset, it's not likely.

Bill wasn't all bad . He had decent morals .

I think that addresses my earlier question and narrows down the timeframe on when things went south over there. Somewhere from Paisley to Hicks and Gillett.

You’re almost pushing an agenda here and it’s becoming really boring.

The 14 will decide what their response will be not you. So sit back, cuddle up with your inflatable Virgil Van Dyke doll and await the outcome.

Absolutely mate. They should be banned for Euro next season and point deductions for this season.

neither of them are punishments

only expulsion before they’re ready to do it is a threat - they’re quitting the CL anyway, and devaluing the PL so there’s no need to finish top in it any more.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Any updates anywhere on what's been coming out of this meeting?

 

[Shevin Keedy]

It's like when there are photos of Kate Middletons tits rumoured to be published in the foreign press, everyone says how terrible is that then gets on there ipad to find a link to see them.

Did anything ever come of that by the way?

 

[nsno-chris]

Yeah, apparently Moshiri had just been saying “ban them, expel them” for the last 30 minutes

The punishments I mentioned above is on the condition that they’ve withdrawn the plan.
