Superleague talks

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Yeah Germans would never stand for ticket prices like in England (or the U.S. for that matter).

Of course they would stand for ticket prices like England but then you ve another audience. Like Tennis-Atmosphere.

At Bayern perhaps. Otherwise nah, not enough people. Tennis isn't played in front of 40,000 people.

Tennis audience. I meant that symbolically. The classic fan would die out

I know what you meant, but there's not enough people who care enough about football and also are willing to pay those prices for it. Attendance would go down significantly.

The irony of Juve trying to lead the charge on “Transparent, well enforced financial stability rules” is hilarious.

Does transparently cooking the books to keep them financially afloat not count?

Just shows how afraid these clubs are of that EPL $$ trying to tip the scales back in their favour.

Oh Juve, the joke that keeps on giving...

Its classic politician double speak. Insulting really

 

[maclean]

ffs, can they not just give it up? so now they're just proposing a similar system to what already exists except they get to run it instead of UEFA?

Looks like the big difference on this would be that it would be an actual continental league where the domestic stuff would be cups instead of domestic leagues with the continental stuff being a cup (or a cup with a mini-league in front of it)

I had to read that three times before I understood it
Hm, well that just seems incredibly far-fetched. The Czech and Slovak leagues have discussed many times trying to reintegrate and even on that level there's just too many hurdles. National leagues aren't going to just hand over the reins.

LOL same....

Not that I actually want it, but part of me would absolutely be intrigued by a more NA league setup where every club in the league is a top tier club filled with top tier players. Eliminating the games where lesser talented teams just play negative and sit back where they can't be broken down, etc. Make it so top players have to go against top competition every week, instead of opportunities to pad stats against lesser clubs.

I don't actually want it, but I can see the intrigue. Far more cons than pros IMO though.

Maybe it's because i watch a lot of Brighton but i kind of feel like this less and less the case for smaller clubs. Teams are more willing to go at big clubs these days.

This sounds like NA sports or at least thats what they try to do. It sucks. The new CL format is also trash and I would be opposed to something new that becomes better but this aint it imo ( the first proposal of SL). Flo having more power and his ideas about the next generation of footy is also a death sentence.

A lot of teams still bunker... even the big teams bunker on occasion. You cant kill Tuchball, Simeonball, Mouball etc.

It's probably true, smaller clubs will hopefully continue the trend of what Brighton has done.

Yeah, they were very open about their fraud. Should be commended, truly.

"Tournament" in the case of the OP are leagues, not cups.



They're not going to eliminate domestic leagues to only play a 14-game European season.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Flo needs to let this bs die.

 

[Power Man]

That’s it , I’m no longer a Real Madrid fan.

I will support AFC Richmond, a club with rich history, real fans and likable owners and manager.

What?
This wouldn't change ANYTHING for any domestic league.
