World super league

[Jags..class]

World super league is back in the news again. Clubs will choose between Cl or midweek trips to China. How can trips to China work in a midweek? The Mirror say this could happen within 5 years. Greed will ruin football.

If that paper is saying it then it must be true.

No but you have to admit there is talk of this and had been for awhile now. The telegraph reported that five British clubs were in talks in March this year. Plus all the foreign owners will make it easier. I do believe these clubs seek away to make so much more money.

Some would argue that the champions league ruined football long ago.

The 'big boys' from the continent are shitting themselves about the TV deal the Premier league are in.
May disturb the status quo and allow the less fashionables a slice of their pie.

We may already be in the World Super League - for Money...Will all the usual suspects turn their backs on that. How many times will people turn up to watch a dozen Euro teams play each other in Bangkok or where ever...and more to the point, who will pay them...and for how long.

They weren't arsed when they were taking 90% of their respective countries telly money and leaving the little clubs there to flounder were they, bollocks to them.

The reason the PL get so much money is because people want to watch it,IF and its a very big if the so called super clubs decide to go ahead with it I hope the respective FAs kick them out and see how long a 12 team league lasts,no relegation,no cup competitions,most would be begging to be brought back into the fold

Let whoever opts to join from the EPL go, then shut the door forever on them.
Then let the remaining clubs build another, just as exciting.

Not "most"..... all of them.

This will happend. China USA and other countries get boost from this and the money will be crazy. If I remember right FIFA UEFA didnt like the idea while back cause it will have negative effect on CL but they will do this. Long process though..

It won't happen. It is just another statement aimed at threatening UEFA to ensure that the rich clubs continue to get rich. Like when they threatened to breakaway so uefa introduced the league stage of the european cup, they threatened to breakaway again so uefa allowed 2nd and 3rd place teams in, and threatened to breakaway again so uefa introduced ffp to prevent smaller clubs using sugar daddies etc etc etc.

No-one is going to China for a midweek game

They should do it in the summer. They kind of already do with the friendly tournaments. Expand the International Champions Cup friendly tournament, make the prize money huge, and let all the 'big clubs' plus (no doubt fuming if not invited) Liverpool eat themselves with greed.

Just invite the top 3 teams from all the big leagues to play, include some other countries as well, their champions. Don't need to get THAT creative here ffs, it's not THAT difficult to figure out how to make money and do that.
