You don’t think they’ll leave the premier league, do you?! No chance. But if they did we might get a reprieve. Ain’t happening though.


For what reason could Man United possibly contemplate leaving the Premier League and playing the likes of Burnley - as they are today - when they could be playing Madrid, Juve, Barca etc...every week? $$$$$$$$$$

Surely there'd be 6 places free in the English football league system if they intercourse off for next season. See you later, I'll take our reprieve thanks.

No chance it'll happen for next season. It'll probably save Stevenage when it does though.

Once they’ve sucked it dry of cash and the clubs get bored of not acruslly winning something every year they’ll come back...

Juventus are one of the main architects of this idea. Their owner thinks they are a huge club and should have more power than the smaller clubs from smaller leagues in Europe.

In the last 3 years they have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by:-

2018/19 - Ajax (Ned) - QF
2019/20 - Lyon (Fra) - R16
2020/21 - Porto (Por) - R16

About as average as you can get.

Juve are bent. Always have been. Their owners have a obscenely high opinion of their size and believe to be THE team in Italy. Corrupt isn’t strong enough to describe Juve and they’re obsessed with the European cup.

They’re architects of this because they believe that Italian football holds them back. Ironic really Becauee they’re less likely to win or make the cash they currently do in a league like this, let alone win anything.

They’ll be a compromise. The Champions League will become a 2 tiered group stage. 16 “big” clubs in 2 groups of 8 playing each other home and away with the top 4 in both groups qualifying for the R16 and the other 8 going into a play-off round. The “rest” (about 20) playing that bizarre “Swiss system” of 14 matches against each other with the top 8 going into the play-offs with the 2 x bottom 4 from the “big” clubs.

The “big” 16 would be...
4 x English
3 x Spanish
3 x Italian
2 x German
2 x French
2 x Highest ranking champions of domestic leagues (currently Portugal & Netherlands)

Allow the “big” clubs to get their games against each other but keep them within UEFA competitions:

I hope they go, the FA kick them out and they dont get to enter any UEFA competitions. After 1 season the FA stop allowing the non UEFA/FA reg players from being picked for England/Wales?Scotland etc. That would sort it nicely and we can get back to a slightly more competitive Prem League with about 16 clubs and a couple of teams less in the other 3 divisions. Let em Foff not ever come back.

Do you mean the same Stevenage that were 3 points behind us and in the relegation places on the 31st December 2020 are now 9 places and 16 points ahead of us?

I wouldn't mind swapping places with them right now.
