It's the club's whose stock is likely to fall over the next few years who are pushing it Liverpool, Arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only wait and see. I'd be surprised if they didn't jump onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's gamesmanship. They want more concessions from Uefa for the CL amendments. They leak this talk as leverage at the last minute, Uefa bend over to accommodate them, cycle goes round again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait another 5 years Liverpool won't be anywhere near it - that's why they want in now. I disagree, Liverpool like it or not are a world recognised brand. Even when they’re not winning things they attract a massive global fan base. they, along with ManUre will always be involved in proposed ‘elite’ leagues because they have a huge following. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've bent UEFA too far and I think they've now caused a break - it's almost impossible for UEFA to offer more to these clubs - it's UEFA themselves that are under threat, this is a group that want to cut UEFA out of the money.

The bloated competition is to be even more bloated like a 1977 Elvis. Unless UEFA can magic up another massive tv contract I doubt they will be happy. Or change the rules to guarantee qualification for 12 teams I guess. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the other big teams including Juve can see themselves losing power so it’s now or never. The likes of Barca are doing it because they are a billion in debt.

Based on the 70s and 80s. It terms of football dominance I don't they are. They do have lots of friends and favourable media coverage though. The madrid coach attack coverage soon got buried ! Outside there own supporters I think they are one of the most disliked clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I wonder if some of the "big" clubs want some sort of rule in the CL whereby if you win your domestic league, you don't have to play as many games before the knockout stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
