Champions League restructuring

[DB]

Steve Stride has said, just look at the viewing figures for the CL. Tells you the amount if interest there will be.

Kick all 11 sides out their leagues and ban them from Europe, ban their players from playing international football and let them fuck off into oblivion.

If I was a season ticket holder at any of the 5 English clubs, I'd feel absolutely betrayed.

good riddance

Yes, screw them! We won't miss them and I honestly believe they will find the grass isn't greener.

[luke:lamf]

Whilst I would say good riddance, I don't want it to happen, mostly because DAZN are apparently interested and I currently subscribe to them for the princely sum of €2 per month to get all the boxing I could ever want. If they get this Euro Super-Duper league too, they'll likely put up the price and I'll be forced to choose between paying more and supporting something I don't like to keep the boxing, or giving up the boxing entirely.

Basically they want it to become a ‘virtual video’ game.
Fuck em. Let em go.

Kicked out of all domestic competitions, players unable to play for their countries.
Sounds really exciting........not.

This.

In a couple of years it will be expanded to allow the ‘top’ Teams from China, Japan and America. Chuck in a couple if Saudi clubs and it will because a farce.

All streamed on line for a global audience of people who have never set foot in a ground.

Fotball as scripted event...
Results decided  behind closed corporate doors.
Hell, we already closed enough to that alternate reality with VAR...
No thanks.

I won't be watching (legally/paying)

Good. The quicker they go the better. They've been arsing about with this for ages. I won't lose a minutes sleep. Those players should not be able to participate in any UEFA or FIFA sanctioned events. Want to go rogue, go rogue. Let's see how popular it becomes then when the same teams play each other over and over again. All contracts will be voided too. They would only be able to transfer between themselves also. It will get boring very, very quickly.

Fair play to Gary Neville.

[andyh]

I wonder how many fans of the clubs involved actually want this? And how many players for those clubs a really up for it?
What is it ? 12 teams, 6 English, 3 Spanish and 2 Italian ?

Enthralling.

[Malandro]

I remember going to bars in France/Spain/Portugal in the late 80s/early 90s.
People watched the European Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup - they were decent tournaments. Tournaments played on merit.

This is bullshit.

[Damo70]

Fair play to Gary Neville.

That was a majestic and bang on the button tirade from Gary Neville. Take a bow Gary.

[Malandro]

Perhaps Randy did us the biggest favour, making us shite.
