nachothelegend 1,932 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Galatasaray chairman calling for this to be rolled out.With or without UEFA.Wants a Top 20 Tier locked in no Prom or Relegation.Where would this leave us and the Mhanks?Saying it will happen and has been getting discussed by big European Teams.Interesting I think those Bastards in the East will worm their way in to this even though their Ranked 50 something.We are at present 79 Ranked.Wants it in by 2018.Admin move this if you feel the need but it involves us.

King Jela 20,407 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Won't happen. I don't even like the idea of it. This. We'd have simply no chance of being involved in it anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdasyn 431 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think to be in with any chance we'd have to be at the top of the Premier League (which we should be by 2018).Unsure if we'd even make the top 20 then - It would probably be like at least 6 from England as it is, 2/3 from Spain, 2/3 from Germany, 3/4 from Italy, 2 from Holland, 1/2 from France etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachothelegend 1,932 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Well it's being discussed and says all the big Clubs will go for it.Don't shoot the messenger just listening to it and it seems pretty advanced in discussions.Wants the Clubs to go for it with or without UEFA.Its all about Money and I believe it will happen.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Breakaway leagues outwith the governing bodies never survive for long. The novelty value soon wears off. Examples - the old Provincial League in Speedway and Kerry Packer's cricket league. They return to the fold, albeit thet can instigate change.

It won't happen. This is to get a revamped CL imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,714 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 There are 20 clubs who would be considered and accepted before us and them, in all honesty. Man United, Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, PSG, Juve, Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea etc etc.Can't see either of us leaving Scottish Football any time soon.

tannerall 25,935 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The G14 group has been quiet recently, so thought this had been forgotten. Don't forget its more about the economics these days than sporting integrity, and that the TV companies are the biggest players.If a TV company and a few of the biggest clubs brokered a deal it could get interesting.Saddens me to remember Rangers (and unfortunately the tims) were guaranteed top 30 clubs in Europe status back in the 60s and 70s, and even in to the 80s. Regarding the Galatasary chairman it is likely he is knee jerking to the recent 6-1 defeat at home by Real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think some thing like this will appear as a revamp of the CL. But it would need to be able to get other teams in it and not a locked membership. This could be the opening position to be negociated around with how to get promotion into it the thorny question.

JMorrison1872 320 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 A league with Europe's top 20 teams in, TV companies will through silly money at an idea like that!Sounds like a shite idea though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,830 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 At the start of the season Galatasaray were ranked 44th in UEFA rankings. After the top 20, some of the clubs not in that elite group were Spurs, Juventus, PSG, PSV, Man City, Liverpool, Ajax, Stuttgart, Napoli, Anderlecht and Dinamo Kiev. I can't see the TV companies leaving these teams out. The low-life mob were 58 and we were 79. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 What would the point of the league be? Would be utter shite.Ok, bigger amounts of cash for finishing higher up in the league, but what drama would you get from a league where there was no risk of relegation? And how shite would a title race be, knowing there's be no reward at the end of it (ie. european football), cos you'd alreayd be playing European football all the time?Shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
