Much more fun to just foam at the mouth and tilt at windmills, eh? No wonder this country is fucked. Everyone has an opinion but very few people can be arsed to even read an article that would help inform that opinion.
When did PCA ever take 3000 to QPR ?
After a few seasons to see how things pan out, then this could become a separate league. There is also the lure of South and Central American teams to try a similar idea
Or, have 2 teams.
Exactly. They will want to reform the domestic leagues and calendar to allow themselves to play in this new league, which would mean a maximum of 18 clubs, probably 16 in the Premiership and only the FA cup. They would also want to have larger squads and more subs available. With the additional money they would have it would totally screw the competition even more than now. They could effectively have two superb squads and would end any semblance of competition in our domestic league.
This is a good summary of what this is all about and what the issues are. It's why UEFA and the PL will reject it, but these clubs could do it anyway. If they do, UEFA and especially the PL need to kick them out and let them go it alone. We'd all like to think that they will fail and that the PL would be better off without them, but I'm really not sure either is true.
I don't think you really understand what this is all about. It's nothing to do with how many times a club or a country has won it, it's not about spreading the competition evenly across countries, it's about creating a TV driven entertainment spectacle that has a popular draw across the globe.
Same here I have said many times that the championship is better in terms of fairness.The prem as not altered at all since we were here last with dodgy decisions and a tendance for refs to lean towards the big guys.Always remember the bent decision to give Liverpool that penalty after the ref said our defender THOUGHT ABOUT fouling Gerrard and the West Ham saga.The dodgy decisions we have been on the end off already this season is nothing I did not expect.This league is run for the benefit of the big six which is so evident by the attempt to grab ALL of the power last week.So I SAY LET THEM FUCK OFF and leave all the other clubs to run the Prem for the benefit of ALL the clubs in this league and not just the few.Just make sure they are not allowed to walk straight back in to take it over again.
A bit like Man U did when we were in the prem before West Ham had to win to stay up so Man u fielded a reserve side and A NON WEST HAM player scored the winner for them to keep up.Bent.Good point, a bit like playing B teams in the lower leagues and cup competitions which we have already had a taste of
With second team joining our L2 setup and those not accepted into European league go there as well if PL not enough
But depends on where you are coming from. In Spain like in england theres a hierachy of big clubs. Valencia and Seville see themselves much in the way arsenal and spurs do . Spanish football is huge in the US and south America
I’m not sure it’s a case of misunderstanding - most people realise that the conversation (so far at least) relates to a revamp of European competition.
The organisers of the competition won't give a shit whether it opens a can of worms between fans of different clubs, or whether fans of a club think they should be included, or whether a club has won more times than a club that's invited to join. They know they can't have everyone so will invite the clubs that have the biggest global draw. They won't care if fans from one big Spanish club boycott it, because the rest of Spain is their potential market. They won't care if Porto demand inclusion if they marketing model says the potential difference in revenue isn't significant. Like I say, you've got the wrong end of the stick.
The plan is not to clear off, which the vast majority of posts have been about. I'm not sure how you work out that people know they aren't doing when that's what they're saying.
I know they will take a ruthless view on who they think is the best global draw but which ever 18 or 20 they choose the fufther 20 they dismiss as not big enough will feel snubbed and will become retisent against those chosen in home competitions.. cant see how if say man utd play in an 18 team euro league and 18 team prem. Tbis opens up the B team argument and why would man citg for example accept playing man utd B
Here we come
But they’re complaining about fixture overload already
They might start of saying it will, if and only if the domestic leagues give them what they want which will be a much reduced domestic agenda, more power etc. but I actually don't think they will if this does come to fruition.
If TV money dropped by 75% that would still give Premier league teams considerably more than Championship clubs currently get If financial fair play rules are introduced to keep spending down then clubs will not be that much worse off But it would be a better more competitive league
Yes, that is more in line with the problems this will bring, but so what? If this goes through, the PL accepts it and changes are made to allow it, there's nothing clubs who "feel snubbed" will be able to do about it. If they are facing a club that's put out their B team, they either beat them and try and win the domestic competition, or they refuse and forfeit 3 points to them. There can be immense objections as much as they like, money talks.
