Champions League restructuring

[Monty]

And while all this went on over the past few days, the new Champions League restructure, for which this very thread was created, was pushed through. A new format to favour the big clubs. Anyone get the feeling this ESL was just a Trojan horse?

Woodward resigning belies that theory I think. They really did take this gamble, and it really did slap them right in the bollocks.

So do all the fans of the big six now see the point of Wigan?

[London Villan]

Finish them. Relegation, points deductuon, european ban for all 6 for 3 or 4 years.

[UK Redsox]

All 12 clubs must now be given a multi-year ban from European competition

[Clive W]

I want a third domino to fall so then I can say “and then there were three” which, hopefully,  will engender pages of Genesis jokes

Don’t let me down lads

Juventus Chairman gone

Yaaaas! He was the biggest ****** of them all.

This is a lovely evening.

And so it begins.......Martin Tyler wonders how much responsibility the Chelsea chief exec will own up to in ‘what can only be described as an error of judgement by 6 clubs’.

Tyler needs to keep his fucking sycophantic trap shut.

[Hockley Lion]

As usual it will be the lawyers who will benefit from this

It has been confirmed that all 12 signed a 23 year binding contract
No one could leave without the consent of the others or face claims for damages that could be hundreds of millions

So will Chelsea now face the risk of £Ms of damages?

Looks a bit like a sting to me and Abramovich might feel he's on the end of it if he has to pay off the dirty 10's debts. Didn't someone say Chelski and City were somewhat bounced into this?

[London Villan]

Thinking about it the european ban would be the most ironic and do the least damage to the rest of english football.

[Vegas]

they'll always be the scum6 to me now.

I’m so torn on this. Obviously this is a fucking near miss, and football was fairly close to the brink. And obviously the owners of those clubs I would gladly line up against a wall and shoot.

But fair play to the fans of those clubs, and to the players. I don’t really see why Chelsea fans, say, should be punished for this when one of the big moments in how it played out was thousands of them angrily protesting outside Stamford Bridge tonight.

European Super League executives drafting begging letters to Union Luxembourg, Fram Rejkjavik and Cowdenbeath as we speak.

Brilliant

Who’s next backing out, I go the Arse

[Lastfootstamper]

This is just kicking the can down the road, all these lot will be back because their thirst for more power and money cannot be quenched, fuck all will happen to any of them, just hope all fans remember these 12 clubs and what they stand for.

Fucking too right they will. Rip this plaster off now and fuck them off before they start trying to convince us plebs we should be grateful for their presence as they 'restructure' the tv deal in a bid to 'save football' on our behalfs. Wankers.

[clash city rocker]

Rats , thieves and sinking ships. Never expected for it to go down quite as quick. Fuckin love it

[Richard E]

It’s like Election night with a load of particularly objectionable Cabinet ministers losing their seats.
