Champions League revamp

GET THEM GONE

Fully up for Big Red and United being the only English representatives in this.

Neville on sky:

how can Arsenal be in a super league they just drew with Fulham

I've said this to my mate here for years. It's such a crap club. They've not even had a sniff of the league in 20 years and are probably going to finish 9th. But, yep, DEFINITELY deserve to be in a "super league" because....

 

[Nymzee]

Least we'll have a chance at winning the league.

 

[jazzy]

They aren’t planning on leaving the PL

They wont have a choice

Spurs are currently enjoying the second best period in the clubs history

and they have won zero!

Arsenal at least have recent(ish) titles and seem to do well in FA cup most years

The downside would be the other 14 clubs couldn't afford to pay their bills without their massive incomes.

Could see a lot of cancelled contracts if it happened.

As I say, we would become a Tranmere overnight, now the rest of the league would as well, but its not all sunshine.

No chance imo.

The domestic bodies will ban all player trading with those teams as they wont be reconised -- also players wont fancy giving up internationals -- alot of them will tear their contracts up.

imagine telling an elite level player they cant play for their country anymore lol

Madness.

It depends. Sky would still show the Premier League, deals signed up to for next season already I believe, there'd be a transition of sorts but if they banned all player trading with the breakaway clubs that'd be another nail in the coffin for it. We also have a relative 'sugar daddy' owner so would be insulated a bit, plus FFP would be binned off.

Overall it'd be a massively good thing for us, and for football. It'd reset the game completely, which is badly needed - an unoffial 'salary cap' scenario.

Fans having to play six holidays abroad a year just to watch away games hahaha

Local fans would most likely do what United and Wimbledon fans have done and setup a new club.

I really dont see how those clubs will be successful doing this.

Why should clubs be destroyed because of the greed of a few men? Such a bizarre take.

If you were a fan of any of those English clubs would you continue to support them?

Knowing that the only benefit is seeing your team play 3 italian and 3 spanish sides a season...every season...forever.

Any fan of those teams should see their owners as betraying the fan base.

Im amazed City's ownership havent taken the same stance as PSGs...massive shot in the foot by them.

They wont have a choice

Maybe. I think eventually UEFA and FIFA will come round to it, they are just sabre rattling to get a piece of the pie.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Let them go if they want to go. Yeah it would really hurt us in the short term but football would go on. Football would recover and I've no doubt the PL would recover as well. Football fans in the UK want to watch British football.

I hate everything that this move represents but I am ambivalent to them going. Let them run on.

 

[larbert toffee]

Roy Keane for once talking sense when asked about it, Man U have done similar before and devalued the FA cup which has never full recovered from their actions, this would just ruin the league and all of the history that goes with it.

 

[sageyefc]

Let them crack on, ban their players from international football and the clubs from domestic competitions and when they come crying back in a few seasons make them start at the absolute bottom. Bunch of rats

 

[ToffeeTim]

One of my mates thinks it's a great idea. Guess who he supports......

That's how Arsenal joined the 1st Division in the first place. It's who you know.....or who supports them.

 

[Thomasc]

I’d be delighted to live in a world we did not need to share with the mutants who support Liverpool football club.

Maybe. I think eventually UEFA and FIFA will come round to it, they are just sabre rattling to get a piece of the pie.

See the very strong UEFA statement today. Clubs who form a breakaway will be banned from domestic competitions and their individual players at International level.
