It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to guess who 2 of the other 3 are. It's sounding like neither bayern or psg will touch this with a 10ft barge pole. This is a massive Pr win for Qatar. As they back both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing making me think Leipzig is they're moral scum who don't mind being the bad guys, where Dortmund are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I still can't believe Agnelli's initial PR statement in regards to this league, involved use of the word solidarity. It's like watching my mate using words he doesn't know the meaning of, just cause he thinks it sounds advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much greed. Treble that easily. A couple of seasons ago as I was struggling for cash I was looking into local non-league and lower league sides to take my little lad to. Even the lowest cost was around £15-20 a game per person. Which non league clubs did you try? Warrington Town for example is £5 entry fee, for adults.

For red bull this is a great opportunity to look better in the eyes of the Germans and show they aren't all about the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would’ve thought PSG come out of this well. Poch probably advised them to get a dig in at Spurs in that statement as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, Qatar, hosting the FIFA World Cup, so obvs want to keep FIFA on-side, wonder if they’ll continue to resist once the World Cup has been and gone.

Popular Post rjw63 Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 Should add a poll to this thread. One option should be "let them **** off, never to return, football will be better". That's the one I'd tick. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty darn ironic. I think UEFA might reinstate the beaten teams to make a semi final. Dortmund, Bayern and Leipzig for being loyal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the above isn't the target audience of the ESL - Its people in the far East who have heard all about Manchester United , Barcelona , Real Madrid , they just want to watch a game of football preferably between two big clubs. That where the money is. One of things I am most proud of as a villa fan - is my dad took me to my first match in 1972 - it was a division 3 game between villa and Walsall !!! - and we didn't even win !!! - 9 years later I was standing on the terraces at Highbury as we were crowned League Champions. Sadly stories like that don't land bumper TV deals. Very similar story for me give or take a couple of years. We went as a family to watch the Villa at Blackpool and after at the fair I apparently hid in a Dalek and was missing for over an hour. The transition from third to that day at Highbury is staggering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2021 The World Cup is the only thing keeping PSG out of this. Qatar has enough bad press already, having their club team throwing a spanner in the works as well might be the thing that pushes it over the edge. If this happens, come the aftermath of the World Cup, there will be an expansion and PSG will happily take the devil's shilling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
