Champions League revamp

[bullybeef]

6 Premier League Teams to form a breakaway European Super League.

Kick the feckers out of the PL and English football altogether then.

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

I’m gonna bet that he doesn’t actually go to matches or potentially has never been to one ever.

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

Who the F are Spurs? No-one.

He's been to Anfield once as far as I'm aware. And they lost lol

Big Red supporters staying painfully quiet..,
My money says they turn on Dem Yanks

From the perspective of an American owner this makes sense. No relegation, no need to play "small" clubs. Travelling 1000s of miles to play isn't unusual in American sports. However, very disappointing from Spurs and Chelsea, as I thought their owners understood football.

They wont have a choice

I’m not sure that’s been decided.

This, really. Keeping them in the PL would kill it anyway; they'd hoover up all the best players and then play reserve teams.

A European Super League with only English, Spanish and Italian teams...

Jog on!

Uefa should just carry the CL on without those teams. The trophy would still carry the same prestige and if the big teams tried to invalidate it they’d only invalidate their own history. Real Madrid would never want to reach a point where their 13 european cups were invalidated by a new comp. As soon as some of Europe’s other teams started winning the European cup and calling themselves champions of Europe they’d all come running back.

Imagine the players though?

"Im an elite player as im one of the best out of 3 italian sides, 3 spanish sides and 6 english sides"

Meanwhile everywhere else you have players enjoying domestic and foreign leagues and cups along with internationals.

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....

American owned

Im genuinely amazed that City walked into this PR disaster though.

Surprised it wasn't touted to be the World Series League

No chance at all Bayern and PSG say no.

Bayern fans trying to justify it will be fun to do. Booing other clubs for ruining things while they upend the whole system. Tits.

Unfortunately money talks. I hate this idea but it is probably inevitable. If those 6 clubs were kicked out of the PL how much do you think BT and Sky would pay for TV rights? 20% of the current deal? Overseas 'fans' want to watch Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal and to a lesser degree, Chelsea, City and Spurs.
Overseas subscriptions/TV rights are where the money is and those 6 clubs are well aware of it. The wages of players in what was left of the PL would take a massive nosedive.
The beginning of the end.

And City. If fans don't protest their clubs behaviour then they are complicit as far as I’m concerned.

Good to see Brexit Burnley doing their bit to pipe down the Euro loving mancs

Brings a tear to the eye
