Mhsc 1,097 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Yes, seems like it is both true that the rules are quite clear on it, and also that there are methods to get around it based essentially on technicalities https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2025/4/1/24398332/blueco-to-put-rc-strasbourg-into-trust-should-they-qualify-for-champions-league-alongside-Chelsea So, we can do it as long as we give up control of Strasbourg for a while, and stop doing business between the clubs while they are both in CL. That would probably completely destroy Strasbourg's hopes for doing well though, and defeat the purpose for us from a sporting PoV (although financially very lucrative for BlueCo) LAM09 and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently violate those regulations & will continue to do so unless they go ahead with acquiring a Portuguese team and send them over there.

They are only one point off a CL place having played a game more. No idea if the rules recently changed about European competition & ownership were we both to qualify for the same competition. It could be ok yet…. we may not qualify 😂 Not entirely convinced we will be 100% finishing in the CL spaces. Forest got a good win v United to consolidate their position in the top 4 and Newcastle, City, Brighton and even Fulham are in very close enough proximity to make it interesting.

I didn't want to tempt fate, especially considering where we were at the start of December. Our fixture against Forest on 25th May could potentially be a CL decider for all we know. City losing Haaland works in our favour (unless Marmoush blows away teams, which isn't impossible). Newcastle are the one side that could turn out to be the surprise package on the back of their first major trophy in yonks.

He will inevitably be their PK taker for now, so I can see him outscoring most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Taking a look at RSC now, they are playing nice football, Santos got two assists. Emegha is not super impressive, I like Doue, not as much as his brother though. Liam Rosenior leading Strasbourg to Champions League is not something I saw coming a few years ago when I saw him suck hard at Hull City 😄 But watching his team play Today and their convincing season stats makes me think.. He is a young English manager who has a chance to impress in the Champions League next season, and we are in partnership with his club....

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 What's crazy is how good Brazilian teams are on this tournament. All 4 top of the group after 2 rounds and we have one of the biggest talents from that country who recently started for their national team but no, we don't give him any chance...
