I'm surprised he didn't say it was a betrayal of Brexshit
With all due respect, this squad (especially now Jose is gone) is more than capable of beating Woolwich and Man Utd. I also think we'd be very competitive against the Milan clubs. I don't think we'd be the group whipping boys at all...that's a nonsense. There's also supposedly going to be another 3 founder clubs, and then 5 other clubs so...
Against the likes of Madrid / City / Barcelona, yeah, we will get beaten more often than not, I will concede.
7 disagrees but I'm sure they'll all watch it.
I can honestly say i won't watch it. Yes i'd rather play Real Madrid in a competitive competition, not endlessly playing them when the result doesn't matter. Its special playing them when it doesn't happen very often. I'd rather watch us against Burnley than this closed shop abortion.
Its all done and dusted, captains hug in tunnels these days, its just the NBA with the ball on the ground
Exactly. The fun of watching these big games is that it's a rarity.
I think most could get on board the SL as a replacement for the CL but it can't be at the expense of the PL. That should come first
Fully agree with that. My point was going against the idea that it would get boring playing these same teams even season. Obviously I didn't make it well.
No, I don't like SL as a replacement for CL.
Firstly SL has fewer places so fucks over loads of smaller clubs in other nations.
Secondly the idea that a team has a permanent place regardless of merit is pathetic.
I enjoyed Monaco's run in 2017, Ajax's run in 2019 etc.
This ruins the integrity of football.
I don't want it but I disagree we will become a footballing super power overnight ready to compete with anyone with 350 million prize money a year and the huge huge sponsorship that will follow, it will be the only football League in the world that all of the teams will have a realistic chance of winning in the not so distant future.
But, but the muricans are great at entertainment!
EXTRA-TIME MULTI-BALL!!!
Sudden-Death Fireball!
Note: Few years ago, when I posted this it was ironic, now it's just chronic. I'm with Nutter, I hope this causes a meltdown and great reset on the bullshit vanity and greed surrounding the club owners and celebrity footballers.
Narrator: It didn't.

UEFA has announced changes to the Champions League which would start in 2024/25...
It's basically a watered down version of the Super League in effect. It's not 100% the same since participation is not GUARANTEED, but with all the qualifiers they have in there it basically is.
UEFA announces new format for club competitions to be introduced as of 2024/25 season
UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League reforms conclude two years of widespread consultations.

Ajax are too classy hopefully.
No it's not guaranteed at all. If league performance is same next year, it would mean spurs and Woolwich wouldn't qualify, but West Ham would etc.UEFA has announced changes to the Champions League which would start in 2024/25...

The top 4 aspect is the same but there are these additional qualifiers which are surely meant to include clubs like us and the scum...
One of the additional places will go to the club ranked third in the championship of the association in fifth position in the UEFA national association ranking. Another will be awarded to a domestic champion by extending from four to five the number of clubs qualifying via the so-called “Champions Path”.
The final two places will go to the clubs with the highest club coefficient over the last five years that have not qualified for the Champions League group stage but have qualified either for the Champions League qualification phase, the Europa League or the Europa Conference League.
Yeah I'm against the coefficient idea. However our coefficient won't be great if we keep flopping at European competitions, so there is an element of merit to it.
It's not like the ESL which is permanent and not based on merit.
That'll be solved by some donations to tory coffers
They have just joined a new league.
The thing the coefficients do is buoy the teams that already have a good one. I believe using the coefficients both us and the scum would qualify under the new rules.
Since we qualify, it also boosts our coefficient going forward which gives us more money than other domestic competitors which makes us more successful.
I agree it is not permanent but with a system like that it is basically creating de-facto permanent status without calling them permanent.
