Champions League restructuring

[Monty]

Yep its beginning to look,a bit half-arsed to me. Maybe they thought they bump Bayern/PSG into joining like they did with the likes of Chelsea and Man City (allegedly.) 12 clubs with another 3 unknown permanent members who are probably having 2nd thoughts about now, plus 5 other ever-changing clubs taking part in a parallel universe where FIFA/UEFA let them...…

I'd be a bit twitchy tonight if I was the ESL

Sometimes it's annoying being right all the time

Ah come on man, I was in a good mood!

One massive thing the PL could do to punish them....if they stay in the PL, they have no vote on the PL board. They can observe and participate in PL meetings but have no voting rights.

That’ll fuck em.

Not sure where you get this from, they’ve not left the Premier League have they? They just wanted a ring fenced mid week European competition.

[Clive W]

Wouldn’t it be great if they were all docked, say, 30 points and then all 6 could battle for the relegation places

Now that really would be a competition  that I’m sure Sky would be thrilled to share with us

[Goldenballs]

A couple of years ban from European football would be nice to see, not sure that UEFA will have the balls for that though. And I'm sure the teams lawyers will be able to squirm out of any punishment

Barca and Atletico on the verge of folding

I’ve got milk in my fridge that lasted longer then this super league.

I don't think you can punish them otherwise you're as guilty as their owners in ignoring the wishes of their fans. Besides I expect the two drop-outs talked to UEFA first and they knew the value of getting someone in the ESL to blink first. Not that I wouldn't enjoy Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and ManU starting in  non-league next season mind, and now UEFA have cracked them, maybe they will go after the ringleaders..

[London Villan]

Long ban will be reduced to one season - max.

Is it that filtered stuff because that’s good for about 4 weeks unopened?

[Jon Crofts]

Spuds and Liverpool dragging it out in the vain hope they'll be awarded a trophy for last man standing.

[London Villan]

European bans won’t affect the domestic fans. Like a relegation, points deduction would.

True. You get the feeling stuff is going on in the background currently though. Hapless Ed going sounds like at least part of UEFA's pound of flesh for their part in it.

RIP European Super League
April 19th - April 20th 2021

A glorious unbeaten era for the Villa invincibles.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

One thing though...Sky are fucking loving this.
It’s a get out of jail card for the organisation who created the monster in the first place.

this.

Spot on!

Chelsea and Man City were, apparently, least convinced of the merits of the proposal and acquiesced due to fears of being left behind. Hopefully one or both break ranks and the whole thing crumbles.

A big boy did it and ran away.
