Champions League restructuring

[ChicagoLion]

I think the only form of punishment that would work in the long , is salary cap which would ensure the end of stockpiling players .

That is the only long term solution I can think of that would be fair.  Like when cigarette advertising was banned it might be good for the big club’s owners too as their turnover should not impacted in the short term so their profits should increase.

They would also need to limit the number of players that can be registered and also loaned out.

The bizarre thing about the ESL proposal was that there was no way of levelling things for them. There would no doubt be an elite couple of teams, and whilst the owners have aimed for an NFL model, that at least has the draft system to give other teams a chance to get better.

The way that US sports are set up goes against the way that the rest of the country operates.

Have said before, NFL is an incredibly socialist system

You could also argue that it is a Cartel.

I am loving how all the 'power brokers' behind this plot are biting the dust one by one.

They aren't, are they? Only the Man U Chairman has gone so far as I know.

Apparently 5 senior members of the “SL” clubs of some PL board have resigned their positions. The other 14 clubs want far stricter penalties. This one has a ways to go.

All the execs from those six clubs who were on one of the Premier League committees have been booted.

Doesn't affect Spurs because they weren't even important enough to have a representative on a committee!!

Spurs really are fucking irrelevant. Like the cockerel on their badge. A bird nobody ever gives a fuck about other than as part of a meal.

They've been booted from Premier League committees, they still have their jobs. Maybe a bit less influence, but at the moment their "punishment" is having the same job and money for having to do a bit less work.

There’ll be not much more than a slap on the wrists and a stern, “nothing of that sort again please chaps.” The PL won’t want to risk hurting their cash cows too much, beyond pure optics.

I don't know. Hopefully it means decisions that affect the whole league will be a bit less "Snidy 6" centric.

The clubs concerned have no less voting rights. They just don't have reps on the sub committees.

I hope there are punishments meted out.

Have a feeling Uefa will not mete out punishments until both European Club finals have been completed. Should simplify matters.

As for Premier League, they have already excluded ESL Execs from privileged information, had to be done fast. I reckon additional punishment will follow at the end of the season. Again, should simplify matters.
