Quoted from Heisenberg


On the Chelsea bit, I do agree, but my immediate thought when this was first invented was “who do spurs think they are?!!!”. I mean, they’ve literally never won anything!

And Man City were nobodies until about 10 years ago. Without money they’d still be in a rotting Maine road in the championship!

If spurs are in there as the top clubs, then Newcastle, Leeds, Aston Villa, Everton, Celtic and rangers should be too.

Anyway, let’s hope it either dies a death, or actually DOES happen and the fans reject it mid-competition. The greed of these scum is abhorrent.

The one positive seems that somebody, at least, is questioning the status quo that football has due to uefa and fifa. They definitely shouldn’t be allowed to own football unless the my can prove they’re actually good at it…….


Man City lease the stadium off Manchester City Council. I'm not sure whether the council or club are funding the latest expansion though.

Have Lincoln distanced themselves from this competition yet?

How will it work? Do they leave the Premier league all together or do they try to cram the extra games in to an already congested program??

They're talking about 3 leagues with 64 teams. Can't see how they cram that into the schedule. But there's only Real Madrid and Barcelona left supporting it. Everyone else has said they're against it, so can't see it happening for a while. But UEFA need to revamp the champions league, it's boring and stale.

This new proposal sounds like absolute pie in the sky. Free to air tv?

The comment above about Champions League being stale is a good one.  It is too bloated with too many meaningless games- but also because it is behind some fairly random paywalls now in the UK (and other countries it makes it even less enticing to watch.  

I honestly couldnt tell you who televises the CL off the top of my head now. (Looks it up)

I thought it was BT Sport but now i've looked it up - who the hell are TNT sports?

In terms of the match day experience I've been to a few CL games at Stomford Bridge and it was utterly dire.  Zero atmopshere - once was a a knock out game versus Juventus and you could hear a pin drop.

Whatever format you have if it is a league you are going to have a fair amount of meaningless games. Ironically the old European Cup format every game counted! Once we get past the group stages it's a better competition. The odd group is interesting where it is close like Newcastle's this year.
