Champions League revamp

[Yarrgh]

I mean he’s list the plot a little but he’s spot on

He is spot on. He has a right to be furious.

Re: that Spanish court decision. What it appears to be is the Super League have asked for an injunction at FIFA/UEFA stopping them forming, and on that basis they've got a decision to not allow FIFA/UEFA to interfere with their assets in terms of bans etc.

So that's not a ruling, but it is what they wanted - kicking the can down the road.

At most, it might allow players to compete at the Euros - Spanish league players anyway.

Yeah they have about 8 million subscribers, I was too for a while due to some of the boxing they were showing. They then weren’t showing much so I unsubscribed. It was ok, had streaming issues at times though.

It’s still only £1.99 a month in the UK currently so I’ve been subscribed since it launched here for the odd bit of boxing, at least while it’s so cheap. Never had any issues luckily

Now I’ve quoted it correctly.

Just think it’s bizarre, UEFAs way of punishing these sides, is by creating their own power grab, but the difference is, they’re in change.

Unless of course this is for sides outside of the ESL, in which case ye absolutely love to see it.

Gets to the point I feel like jibbing it all off tbh.

When you think of the time, money and reduced blood pressure you would have from walking away from this corrupt sport it certainly is tempting at times.

Its all a sham to line the elite clubs pockets every single decision made.

I prefer the international game these days. At least transfer fees don't come in to that. I had Everton in the 80s, can't complain.

I get a phone call every morning from a robot saying my subscription will be suspended unless I dial 1 now.
I’ve never ever had Netflix lol

Missing out on the tiger king shenanigans mate

O

Or they are fighting for their survival and know they have to do something to prevent further damage. We will see, but, this super league looks pretty much nailed on.

I don’t even know anymore mate I’ve just seen that much corruption and pandering to a certain group of clubs over the last 30 years to think it could all just be smoke and mirrors to get a closed shop system and more money from UEFA.

If it’s an idea to counter the Super League as a genuine challenger then fair enough but I don’t feel it is.

But it was always simply a battle for control between the clubs and UEFA. I mean, what did you think? UEFA were the good guys?

i dont see how, i'm not sure how the spanish fa works but surely if the 17 other clubs tell them not to pick players from the other 3 clubs theres nothing the 'super league' ballbags can do?

Anyone currently watching Dean Smith on SSN??

He's just gone way up in my estimations.

I want to hear from Big Sam.
He will be interviewed at an airport holding his passport, wearing a Sombrero and holding empty sacks with dollar signs on.

 

[canuckblue]

Yes - you've got me, rumbled. I set-up a login with a username based on an unclaimed kit number incase a player signed and took it up that number a few years later.

Listen to yourself lad

I always thought your handle referred to Slippy G's number with the national team, but that's just a guess.

Yeah that’s not bad, I moved over to the US a few years back and they charge $19.99 a month. Simply not worth it. Bloody yanks, I am married to one, but this super league deal has them written all over it. They like to ruin everybody else’s good stuff.

They've already shown the stick, now they're showing the carrot.

Do they have the ability to do more than collectively say, "If you pick the players from those three clubs, we won't release ours?"

Whatever the final outcome the rats need to be punished hard to remind us how close we came to loosing everything.

Indeed but I mean in terms of top down action from FIFA/UEFA, in terms of any player registered to Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico cannot be automatically banned.

The FA's should just do it anyway of course.
