Champions League restructuring

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Where do you even start with this sh-t I glimpsed on tw-tter this morning by something called spectatorindex?

"English clubs by European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles.
Liverpool: 6
Manchester United: 3
Nottingham Forest: 2
Chelsea: 1
Aston Villa: 1
Leeds: 0 (one final)
Arsenal: 0 (one final)
Tottenham: 0 (one final)"

The clue is in the header with the word "titles"
Why are dirty leeds, the arse and spuds included if they've won
f-ck all titles? Who gives a sh-t if they've been losers?
Some sources will go to any lengths to include some of the so-called esl clubs. Bet they can't wait to include monopoly city on that list even if they are losers in the upcoming crock of sh-t final.

Introduced in 1955 as the Coupe des Clubs Champions Européens (French for European Champion Clubs' Cup),
Does not exist but the ***** nicked the Trophy.

We’ve offered to host CL final

It makes geographical and common sense.  Plus it'll be another nice showpiece for our ground.

Declined, Turkey it is. 4,000 tickets for each club in a country they can't travel to. Thank God for the great revolt of the other week or else fan's concerns would never get a look in.

I actually agree with the decision. Imagine how many would turn up without tickets if it was held here?

[LeeB]

That's a good point Chris.

[Drummond]

But we can say we offered. Helpful Aston Villa, as ever.

[AlexAlexCropley]

I wish it was. The amount of Twitter wankers with the "That night in Birmingham" chestnut .

[Billy Walker]

It's a clever move from Villa. It gets people talking about us in the context of the Champions League and sows a little seed  in the minds of players and agents in terms of the scale of the Club's ambition.

[BC Villain]

UEFA won't move it from Istanbul unless they're hands forced I think.  There's not a cat in hells chance of Villa Park hosting it

[UK Redsox]

If the final is moved, there’s no way it should be held in the U.K.
That would just be asking for trouble.


Get Edvard to arrange a pitch and play it up there.

[cdbearsfan]

Better still, cancel it. Both the finalists should have been kicked out of the competition.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Indeed and if it's as boring as the final last season with two English clubs.. yeah, just ban them. Saves time.

UEFA require a 60,000 minimum capacity for the stadium hosting the Champions League final so holding it at VP was a non-starter.
