UEFA: "Quick, release the revised Champion's League rules right now while we have some temporary favorability!"

 

[Cranston]

Tell you what, if this does go ahead, the BBC should try and get the league back on TV.

Talk about winning people back. Nothing behind a paywall.

Release Grandstand.

UEFA being all sanctimonious about this is almost as bad as the idea itself. Their new format isn't much different anyhow. What a shit-show.

Government saying that if the FA can't act they "WILL ACT" and will withdraw support.

I don't like the super league idea but really can't see what a bunch of privately owned companies who want to use their brand legally in a way that better suits their needs has to do with the fucking government.

Well, i guess it means less stealth tax for the rest of us to pay to get out of the covid/brexit economic hit.

Volume of games and the fact they are the main draw but don’t get a lions share of the money

They will make much more money in the ESL and only play each other in glamour ties and stadiums without the iconveniencd of playing smaller sides in shitter stadiums
