So the idea was booted out 20-0 I heard?
Why would you put forward a proposal and then once it's put to the vote, vote against it yourself? The whole thing has been completely mad.
If there is any proposal that involves abolishing the league cup they can do one - there are soo many meaningless champions league or Europa league fixtures....if the so called big clubs want less football they can go lobby uefa to reduce those fixtures and leave the league cup alone. Alternatively they play the kids but have no facility to switch in first teamers for the later rounds.

Something needs to be done on clubs using youth etc in part then further they get into the competition they draft in your de bruynes etc If they dont want to play in it cause of being in europe etc the more the merrier
If the fixture list needs to be reduced for these poor clubs they can start by reserving the Champions League for champions. How do teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place get in. By what measure are they champions? It's ridiculous that any team not finishing first in their league could actually win it against a true champion. What if for instance a champion from a lower European league got to the semifinals or even the finals only to be beaten by Man City, Chelsea or any other super rich European runner up in their own league. It just stinks really.
