Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

UEFA might as well closed down then. If your taking their Crown Jewel in the CL off them, they won't also give up the NL and the Euro qualifiers to be dictated by FIFA.

Oh I agree for sure. No way will UEFA allow this shyt without a fight.

 

[gho3st]

More competitive and more streams of revenue. That's my best guess.

They dont care about being competitive. What im saying is that top premier league teams have no incentive to do it. Unless this league replaces CL altogether. and they can be in both PL and this new league.

At most 7 away games now (thats making the final) vs 8-9 and your team might not even make it to the knockout rounds.

But the money tho.

Americans trying to turn european football into MLS.

Imagine backing this.

Guaranteed money like in American sports, it's sporting socialism.

But the money tho.

For the clubs great for the paying away fans no. Once this pandemic is over, how long is it going to take for things to go back to normal? A couple of years? What jobs are going to be available? What kind of salaries will there be? Will people be able to get what they had before?, probably not. Zoom made it more feasible to work from home now, so office jobs which generally pay the best, does that mean people will only get paid their full salary if they work from the office and have to take a cut if they work from home?

Wenger has done it again. Plus with the FIFA led CL.

Grealish still won't get picked to start.

Wouldn't give him too much credit. UEFA can't change the format for another 4 years. They liked the 1 off KO rounds and want it to be that way moving forward, cannot do anything till 24/25 tho.

I hear you.

Entertainment are in a bubble, people want it and they will find a way to fund it imo. I think long term clubs may opt to go the Netflix route and completely do away with the TV companies and collect the money on their own. Until then, they will just milk the TV companies because live sport performs well and is crucial to TV companies.

They may just go the American route and not have away fans. Which is another issue.

I was going to say Fans have battered persons syndrome., if they united and protested from buying the clubs branded products and not go to games, it could cause a rethink. But John Henry dispelling that theory because he keeps on shytting on Liverpool being the team of the working class people every passing week. And not seeming to learn his lessons.

Amazing that a certain CEO's former employer is putting up the 4.6b funding .
