That’ll be quite cute. Always feel minnows deserve a real chance of winning something big. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Back nearer where it all used to be would be fucking great, but the world brand clubs won't go for it. You just have to hope that something unforeseeable happens and the arse falls out of the football money-go-round one day, and we get back to it being more of a real sport, with local meaning.

ger4life_1872 29,460 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Won't make a difference , when a team like Burnley put avoiding relegation above Europa league then games a bogey Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s how they do it in Asia I think. They have tiered competitions depending on what association you are from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hopefully that leads to them changing the format of the current tournaments but I won't hold my breath. Currently of the 32 teams in the Champions League there's only 15 nations represented. The other 17 clubs are the usual also-ran clubs from the big leagues. Bit of a farce. The likely outcome would be each league just being given more European spots though which would probably mean the likes of England basically having half of their league competing in Europe each season.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I like the completion but when England have 4.teams in the champions league the top clubs still won't be too bothered about winning the game cup. Money should be divided more evenly in Europe as the vast majority goes to the same clubs year in year out in the champions league which is unfair and killing the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,482 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Would it be an extra tournament? As in can you be in the CL/EL and the CWC? Otherwise there'd be too many teams already in one of those who also won their cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about it on talksport just now. Heard this too.dumb fucks like White moaning that they already have too many games . Typical talk sport getting all biscuit arsed without looking at the flip side . same as they did for 2 years moaning about the transfer window closing after the season starts .failed to realise that while their window was shut everybody else's still open and players could still leave . This time they haven't thought that this will actually reduce the amount of early rounds as it will have teams normally playing in the Europa league ..

If you won the cup you went into the CWC. If you won the CWC and finished third or something, the next team down would get the UEFA Cup space you would stay in the CWC. If you wona league and cup double, the runners up in the cup would go into the CWC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wona league and cup double, the runners up in the cup would go into the CWC. From what I have read, it seems like a way of weeding out the lower ranked nations out of the Europa/CL QF - therefore reducing the amount of preliminary QF ties for the higher tiered nations. Can't be a bad thing really, but I really think UEFA are waiting to see the reaction to the international Nations League format - before implementing a similar club competition as a European League midweek season. The Nations League is all based on separation on rankings, so it would seem to fit perfectly with the bigger clubs demanding playing only the top sides.

That's what I long for mate, money has ruined the game for normal folk imo. No mark cunts from provincial clubs in England looking down their noses at us, they think because they get all this money they are great but have fuck all in terms of history and prestige to be even talking to us at all.
