Rino8 Posted April 23, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2021 Interesting to hear Chelsea were never going to be allowed, too much Russian conflicts of interest with Gazprom, Zenit etc. Barely about the football in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 The big six are trotting out their managers to complain about the new format Champions league - the new format they dictated to UEFA, the one they bullied UEFA into, the one that as it turned out was just a distraction as they'd always intended to stab UEFA in the back anyway. This was the plan that their clubs came up with - pipe the f*** down and get on with your job or have a bit of backbone and call out your owners on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXD Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I must say I am surprised the supporters of chelsea and now Arsenal are making a fuss. I hope to see more from supporters of the other 14 as well this weekend, even of they don’t play the greedy six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Is Souness still going on about how it would only affect the supporters if the big teams, plus Arsenal and Spurs, were punished so they shouldn’t do it? He just doesn’t want anything to happen to Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully UEFA do backtrack - especially on the 2 places reserved for the clubs with the highest coefficient ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Good to hear Jurgen Klopp come out with some more subtle hints about reducing the number of games if Liverpool have to play 10 instead of 6 in the equivalent group stage of the CL. ”Maybe UEFA will cancel a domestic competition or reduce the PL down to 18 teams”. I honestly think he’d be all for that if it didn’t impact Liverpool at all. Horse toothed prick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 On 22/04/2021 at 11:28, Tomaszk said: If these number are accurate ... then this is an interesting graph. Things to take away: The premier league is relatively egalitarian ... in that the slope is relatively flat ... ie the top teams get a similarish slice of the pie. All but a handful bottom PL teams get more earnings than most of European clubs. (Excluding Atletico, Real and Barca). For example the bottom PL club earns more than Bayern. This of course does not mean you can attract Bayern players to the bottom PL clubs ... at least not easily. And simply having higher earnings does not mean you get a better team. EG Bayern playing a bottom team in the PL? The French and Spanish leagues are the most inequitable, percentage wise. subject to some debate.

The bottom PL club picks up more TV money than Bayern from their domestic league. Norwich earned £119.3m in total - Bayern earned £634.1m in total. The commercial revenue the bigger teams generate is a bigger differentiator than the TV money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 1 hour ago, OutByEaster? said: Sky are reporting that the 14 other Premier league clubs have called on the owners of the six to sack their CEO's as they don't want to deal with them in future. That would be quite something! This should be a bare minimum requirement. Neither the Premier League or UEFA can negotiate with these people in good faith. They should not have access to any of the confidential information discussed in any of the meetings as they have proven that they will use it to destroy the organisations that they are supposed to be a part of. They need to be considered and treated as hostile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of the CEOS would be a bonus thought googling the Chelsea CEO i never heard him before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
