How exactly are these the elite clubs? AC Milan have won precisely 1 league title since Jude Bellingham was born. They were last relevant in Europe when Paolo Maldini was playing. Tottenham haven't won their league since JFK was President. Their last European trophy came during the Miners strike. Juventus haven't won a European trophy in a quarter of a century. They have been found guilty of several match-fixing scandals. Arsenal? It's almost as if it's based on viewership rather than sporting merit isn't it mate?

Fans want to see upsets and surprise scores where everyone can win. Also players might want to earn as much as they can but with no international football and no real chance to connect with fans in their home countries will also soon lose interest. They’ve not misjudged anything at all, not one of them care. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's glorified friendlies every week with the same teams. There will be no variety just rince and repeat games to shove it down Asia and US throats. It's going to kill what is in place now and the clubs like us who need European football to keep going ate going to feel it most. Then the cunts at UEFA have to come in with a rescue package for us and a lot of other teams to keep it going. Football must move on mate.

UEFA only interested in money if you haven’t seen the news from last week regarding Kamara. Fucking cunts they are. If Rangers got an invite to this what would your thoughts be on it? My thoughts wouldn’t be any different, I’d be ashamed of the clubs actions as many fans of the clubs that have signed up already are I think it’s nothing short of an absolute disgrace, if we ended up involved my thoughts on it wouldn’t change Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mols94 3,663 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Unfortunately I can see UEFA backing down, clubs have all the power now. It's the same for the various FA's, throw the teams out of the leagues and it kills their TV and sponsorship deals. These teams are holding European football hostage and they are going to get away with it. Negri's lovechild 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will when it becomes a second rate league where only players with no international prospects play and there are very few loyal fans. Chasing after arm chair fans who don't care about history will only lead to them losing interest when their preferred team no longer wins every game. I think they assumed that fans will follow regardless of what they do to their clubs but every club has had nothing but fans protesting against this.

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think the whole idea of this is disgusting. They are effectively opening a closed shop, designed for, set up and run by a core of teams with the sole intention of earning as much money as is remotely possible for themselves while keeping the majority of that wealth to and among themselves too. My interest in football outwith anything we are doing has slowly been declining in recent years, but if this happens, I’ll never go out of my way to watch a game involving any of the clubs involved.
