Champions League Reform

do you expect me to predict the future?

You’re fucked from all your sabre rattling the last few days are you?

Did they come up with this yesterday?

I’m asking you a question.

You seem to be finding a lot of way to defend this.

you seem to be going out of your way to slate it.

There are 2 other European competitions with prize money for less successful teams. They’ve added another European competition to stop teams from getting hammered in the big leagues.

Celtic got their pat on the head.

It’s basically the same shit as always presented differently. That’s all

Completely different to the super league breakaway - there is no closed shop decided by clubs

there may be an implied closed shop due to structures and coefficients etc but it’s not stated in rules and can be changed.

I think it’s an unfair system that looks after the interests of the greedy 12 and big clubs from the big 5 leagues.

You haven’t offered anything to contest that but seem to be defending it blindly. I’ve laid a number of substantive points on the board and you’ve reacted with hysteria and shrieking.

The other competition they have added offers a fraction of the revenue the Champions League which could now seemingly qualify teams that finish 10th in their league. It’s embarrassing.

you’re a lovely boy and great at everything

The UEFA defenders yesterday and feeling red raw around the hole today.

Trying to hound people out of jobs in the process… raging at everything and not one solution put forward to anything.

The aul “domestic champion from a small nation “ is really giving a pot for the likes of Celtic /Rangers to dominate said nation .

180 games to go from 36 to 24 teams?

It’s disgusting -

Do Celtic share their revenue with the clubs they dominate?

This is a crap solution that will make the tournament more boring and increase the stranglehold of the richest clubs and more particularly the richest leagues.

I’d have preferred the Super League and all that distorted competition segregated away in its own fantasy land.

Is this not a bit of an infinite loop?

Take Arsenal and Spurs. They get in and it bumps their coeff by being in. But last year they weren’t 5th. Leicester were.

So let’s say you get the same league places again for the 3 teams next year, Arsenal and Spurs get in again? Etc etc…

Yeah this is what it’s designed to do. Reduce or eliminate the risk for clubs of not qualifying because God forbid they were shit at football.

Similarly anti-competitive as Super League just in a more sneaky way.

This was genuinely funny tbh

Hey -Liverpool have had a really bad year with injuries, you cant not let them back into the CL because of a bit of bad luck. West Ham are hardly deserving of replacing them, they’re a stupid club.
