Early days, I know, but how elite would their new league look without this season's champions? Everton are not that bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After our “friendly” with them in 1976 . I’ll get my tin hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The only bad thing with this is that it might end with us not beating manhre at VP ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted October 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2020 I really think every game in this league would feel hollow and pointless. A bit like a show piece friendly between England and Brazil that seems amazing on paper but lacks any kind of passion or purpose. Relegation, cup knock outs and the fear of missing a qualification for something are what makes football worth watching. Where's the intrigue if regardless how shit you are you can go again next year (and probably be shit again)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Guys, they wouldn't be going anywhere, it would replace the CL... With likely the same teams every year and no qualification from domestic leagues. Absolutely atrocious idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think United and Liverpool have played 2 desperate cards in recent weeks, they are out of ideas just these scare tactics. Premier League should punish both of them if possible 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premier league would be such a better and entertaining league without these lot. I gurantee it flops bad. Even the most die hard fan isnt going to be travelling abroad each week to watch their team. Also psg vs liverpool wont have the same fire and passion as livepool vs Everton The mistake you are making is thinking it is anything to do with UK fans. It's purely for their millions of fans around the world who NEVER go to see them live but buy all their merchandise and pay to watch on the telly. You can guarantee this will be on a ppv basis with the bigger clubs hoovering up the majority of the cash. I've seen a quote about how Celtic will like this. Will they really? Being hammered week in week out, i don't think so. Edited October 20, 2020 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) so this seems a FIFA thing which will kill the Champions League. Infantino is worse than Blatter absolute prick I am sure Klopp who hates playing games will be fuming at Liverpool owners about an extra 30 games a season Edited October 20, 2020 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This will be seperate to Champions League. Just a plot to keep the big clubs at the top. They will become so unbelievable rich from this format that there is literally no chance for the smaller clubs to compete with them. They will probably find a way to earn power of decisions too and change FFP to make sure the lesser clubs don't have access to rich owners.

But we'd have zero chance of retaining our best players knowing there's this greener pasture that they can join. you could argue it's like the champions league, but that's a competition we currently have a chance of being in. jack stayed knowing that was the ambition of our owners. what if this league was around now? think jack would have stayed? if this is a special members only club, then every player is going to be desperate to be part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
