Champions League restructuring

[Toronto Villa]

Can't express how much I hate this. What chance would we ever have of keeping hold of a Grealish ever again? The monumental disgrace of this should shame anyone with a pulse - and the sight of the sleazebag arrivistes of Spurs leaping gleefully to hang out with their betters makes me sick. Fuck me, go on Leicester and West Ham this season, break the fuckers up.

I suspect Grealish and the like would have the choice of playing in a long established league which is connected to all of the major tournaments sanctioned by UEFA and FIFA including international tournaments or play in a mini league outside of it all.

Spurs would bottle joining

I honestly think this is a contrived situation being staged by both UEFA and  so called elite clubs to make sure the horrific CL restructuring goes ahead. Later on today or tomorrow morning  Clubs will withdraw their proposal and UEFA will do the same and shamelessly both groups will have restructured CL tomorrow.

I have been waiting for this for years. The inevitable consequence of capitalist football. Eating through every last vestige of morality, competition and sporting integrity.
Why are we surprised? Everything is bought and sold, the price of everything, the value of nothing.
The black hearted centre of the most unpleasant parts of our human condition are given free reign in the most critical and influential parts of our society. Why would something as trivial as sport be any different?

I think you're right, Aftab.

The Glazers, the John Henry's of this world have zero concept of or interest in the history of the game or the integrity of competition.
They may as well be selling washing powder or insurance.

I don't think our boys will be any different.

[TonyD]

So do they want to play in this new league as well as staying in the PL?

Also they obviously wouldn’t be able to play in the CL? 

Anyone?

Thanks Paddy that's you and my mum who agree with me. Both wise people.

Maybe, but one thing is the Glazers have been pissing the Old Trafford faithful from the moment they arrived.

Imagine missing out on games like Chelsea v Man City over and over again.

Maybe the football bubble might just burst. Relegate all six of them.

[Monty]

Relegation is an incentive for them to leave. I like fining them into bankruptcy.

[Sexual Ealing]

Relegation is an incentive for them to leave. I like fining them into bankruptcy.

I want them to leave.

This. Its all huff and puff so fans will swallow the pill when they transform CL to an internal affair that these clubs will not have to risk missing qualification too because of something as trivial as achievement in a sport competition.

Anyone?

They think they are going to play in this competition as well as the domestic league. The domestic league has said they can't. Next step would be court, I imagine.
