What's the difference then besides the revenue? Well, nothing I guess. Which is why I don’t get the outrage. It’s like the CL without the anxiety of having to worry about qualifying.

Told, at the moment, it's unlikely that the 'founders' still involved in this season's Champions League (Chelsea, City, Real Madrid) will get booted out.

This is 4 or 5 games against top clubs. No more Krasnodar, Rennes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 They will make PsG win it by their usual ref corruption but they will never kick teams out. They are too greedy. Also would completely ruin their negotiation basis. This is all a big game.In the end the leagues and uefa will agree to super league as long as they get a piece of the cake. The announcement today and the statements by the leagues and uefa were just the opening shots and establishment of starting positions. they will meet somewhere in the middle.

As I said to Pizy earlier... 28 minutes ago, Jason said: But at the same time, do we really want to watch Chelsea vs Barcelona say 4 times a year? Remember how people moaned in the past about certain clubs always face each other in the Champions League - e.g. Arsenal v Bayern? At some point, the allure of those big fixtures will be gone in the Super League and we'll be looking at those games like Burnley v West Brom. And it's also why our tie against Real Madrid feels big, special etc because we have rarely played them in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Just now, Jason said: As I said to Pizy earlier... With this I agree. Eventually football will become like American sport. Less emotional. People will go to games to eat sausage, drink beer and basically just look at games like fun... It will kill the emotional part of the game sadly.

But what IF they do kick the teams out this season? Then what? Then what was the point of those wins over Atletico and Porto? All the players' effort will be for nothing! All our dream/hope of winning our second CL title will go down the drain because of greed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. as i said in the match thread the timing could not have been worse. No idea what they were thinking not simply waiting till the season is over.

Vytis33 1,270 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 But using this year as an example once Super League is up and running...if we’re guaranteed a spot as a permanent member and hovering in the EPL table around 4th-5th what even makes the remaining domestic games relevant with City nailed on to win league?

The founding clubs have superstars and for them to deny playing in their competitions will be damaging for them. Trust me, the viewer base of CL and Euros will dramatically drop, and the viewer base of EL will be tiny. UEFA need to be smart here if they want to stay relevant. They can have 2nd big European competition with all the other European clubs. That would mean so much more for all the clubs across Europe. And work together with SL. For example finalist can play in SL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they did in on purpose at this precise point in the most crucial phase of the season bc it piles immense pressure on UEFA to act. 3 of 4 clubs in CL semifinals are Super league founding members. No matter how UEFA decides they will lose, either they kick everyone out of CL and completely embarrass themselves as sore losers, piss off the whole footballing community or they let everything go ahead which can be seen as a sign of submission.

So by announcing the Super League, those 12 clubs are basically taking FIFA, UEFA, every football leagues head on in a war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
