villa4europe Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 what have they done as part of this revamp to sell it to the lower nations? usually they throw in some advantage to them too in order to get it passed, its not about agnelli and his mates getting in based on coefficient its really about BATE and APOEL and other tiny nation clubs like rangers getting a better chance of qualification reward the elites sold under the guise of aiding the plebs...straight out of the tory playbook 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Villa is that our greatest times are always in the past but for City this is the best they have ever had. He has been class for them. I think you need to give it some time. Wait for him to be gone for five or ten years, don't put it up while he's on his way out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted us to give Abel Hernandez 100k a week in The Championship https://www.otbsports.com/soccer/mino-raiola-alex-ferguson-pogba-1172609?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR2Gs0OSK6FNtJcwrA7Ck6ERB_BH6bEmLeAp2ePQ3o88iyJzHiCx1tuRZ80#Echobox=1617097590 Don't see how he was wrong in any of the things he said about United and Ferguson. People just used to bend over and take it from SAF. He's one of the few who didn't, and ended up being vindicated when the same club bought the player back for a world record fee.

Yeah that 3rd conference league makes no difference to us (depending on the cup winners it's still theoretically the top 7 get European football) but the conference is 184 teams, EL is 57, CL is 79, there will be some overlapping which I don't know so can't account for but that's an increase from 239 clubs to 320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure vindicated means exactly what Riola thinks it does, then again, he's not speaking about football either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAF could getaway with a lot because he was the greatest manager of all time. The fact Man United have hardly come close to winning the league since Pogba has come back is hardly vindication that the agent was right and Fergie wrong. More like it was a desperation/marketing signing from the board. Fergie obviously didn't like Pogba, and he won enough to back that decision up. I'm not saying Pogba is a bad player, he isn't, he can be excellent, but he wasn't needed by Man Utd when they were successful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Going back to shitty agents they led by the piece of shit Mino are planning to sue FIFA because in a rare good FIFA idea they are planning to regulate agents.

Probably the most likely solution as any bottom half premier league team doesn't want to be in it either. It will become a competition for EFL teams only.

Championship sides will not see the point of it really as the fitxures come thick and fast. The football league trophy already exists for leagues one and two. Perhaps the premier league will introduce a europa league play off format at the end of the season for teams 5-8 to replace the 'fun' part of a day out at Wembley for clubs like us, West Ham, Everton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's of no value to the big teams, and anybody else would rather just not play in it. Then winning it essentially means nothing. A cup that says you were arsed when nobody could be.
