Champions League restructuring

A brief look at Redcafe shows the strength of the resistance - i.e., not particularly strong. Many of them cannot wait.

redcafe = full of daytrippers and foreign fans

That’s my worry. The more enlightened fan groups of the 6 clubs  were quick to rally against it this morning, to their credit.

But a guy I work with, a Sussex born and bred 50 year old “die hard” Liverpool fan, who came to football 4 years ago, told me today that it “makes sense”. Apparently a lot better watching Liverpool play Real Madrid than Burnley, and doesn’t really understand what fans of other clubs are moaning about because this will allow all clubs to compete at their own level.

heh. yeah future revenue flow as they're known to the ESL

The ESL is happening, there won’t be consequences, this was the same uproar when the CL started, yesterday’s chip paper.

We will all get over it.

More promisingly a YouGov poll suggests 4/5 fans in the UK are against it. But that's the highest it's going to be, so this right now is the last stand.

What do you expect? More plastic floating around Redcafe and RAWK than your average river. ******, the fucking lot of them.

I would say a significant number of posters on those sites wouldn't know where their clubs grounds were if they were stood in front of them.

Can only speak of the people I know who support the "big" 6. One a Liverpool fan is disgusted by it to the point he's near to giving up bothering. Chelsea fan likewise but a bit angrier. Don't have any arsenal/Tottenham/rag mates

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Villa have updated the David Bradley video with added recent footage, "They say you don't choose Aston Villa, it chooses you" and posted to twitter.

The problem is it's these people that they're targeting.

[sickbeggar]

We need to go full SJW on them. Cultural appropriation to make money is not a good look.

Regardless of how this pans out...those 6 clubs have shit on the whole of English football. They have PROVED they believe they are bigger, better and more important than everyone else. They have proved they don’t give a fuck about everybody else, including their own supporters.

There must be repercussions for even starting this process.

Yes.  This has proved that the owners of these top clubs couldn't give a shit about the fans who pay their hard earned cash to support the club as long as they're hoards of "supporters" in the US and China keep happily paying their subscription to watch games.

Half a million views tonight.  Wow

I wonder what our owners make of it, having invested heavily, I find it worrying, I think if the six are expelled from the EPL overtures would be made to the Old Firm, and a possible seting up of a team from Dublin, you have to fight fire with fire. unfortunately this would have repercussions in Scotland and Ireland, there is away forward without these 6
