Champions League 21/22

Why doesn't UEFA just set its own super league up? Make it a closed shop, only clubs owned by countries allowed, clubs don't play domestic football and play it in the Gulf or on the moon if Musk fancies hosting it.

It does look suspiciously familiar doesn’t it?

Indeed. I'm all for it now. The big clubs have little resemblance to the clubs they were not too long ago. Let them **** off and let everyone crack on. A prem made up by the likes of us, wham, leeds, villa, man utd etc....I'd watch it. Proper fans would still watch the domestic game without man city, arsenal and the likes.

I agree, except that those clubs want to be in both and that’s what won’t work. I’d happily take the adjustment that would take place to our finances, if it meant getting rid of them.

Aye. If the other 14/15 could just boot them into the competition never to be seen again that'd be cracking.

Sounds strange, but when I was young I used to like Man U. They won **** all (in the grand scheme of things), but Bryan Robson was the England captain and a bit of a hero to a lot of people of my era. I really enjoy watching them lose these days though, weird how things change.

So the current Utd. manager has them out of the Champions League and the two who are favourites to replace him both failed against teams they were expected to beat...

You need to get yourself relegated to the Conference League to rule yourself out of the Man U job

I've been thinking about this change for a while. I don't think I can reconcile it with continuing as a football supporter. Certainly one of a side on the outskirts of Champions League football.

At least the European Super League plan would have separated out these money obsessed clubs to some extent. I don't want to be in direct competition with clubs that don't have to beat us to have better opportunities.

If it goes ahead, I'm going to cash in my chips as a Leicester City supporter. What is the point if your own merit isn't enough any more? I just can't see myself caring.

The Super League wouldn’t have separated them though, as they’d still have been in the Premier League at the same time (under their proposal).

I said at the time, I’d rather they just ****ed off for good. Yes, we’d have to have a financial and expectation correction, but I’d prefer it that way.

I know that was the proposal but I couldn't imagine the rest of the PL accepting it. It would remove all competition entirely due to the massive differentials in income. Any team not benefiting from it would surely vote against allowing them in both so they'd have to choose.

If there are clubs that want to leave the PL, fine. I've no problem with it. I think it would be extremely stupid of them because the appetite for the same moneybags sides playing each other all the time just doesn't exist. However, the American owners seem to be so detached from the actual football side of things so who knows.
