you couldn't help but admire the chutzpah of Perez as he uttered that bit of pure comedy gold with a straight face .

 

Format

Unlike the Champions League, which does not start until the autumn, the ESL will get underway in August at the same time as the domestic leagues. The 20 teams will be split into two groups of 10, who will play each other home and away.

It means participating clubs are guaranteed to play 18 group games before the top three teams in each league qualify for the knockout stages. The teams finishing fourth and fifth will then compete in two-legged play-offs for the remaining quarter-final spots.

Once the group stage is completed, the knockout competition will look the same as the Champions League, featuring two-legged affairs in the quarter-finals and semi-finals before a one-off final as part of what the ESL are calling “a dramatic four-week end to the season”

Serious question.

What if this ESL wasn't a partly closed shop?

What are the objections then?


Would there be any if that was the case?

 

you've got the wrong fred for serious questions mate

 

I'd really like govt to step in and do something about the owners of these 6 clubs.

Klopp apparently heard nothing about this from the board, he knew when we knew. I find that hard to believe but if that really is the case then my god these snakes need taking out of the game completely. Disgusting if thats true and I'd not blame Klopp or any manager for walking because of it.

Id like to see the govt step in and make major changes in the way clubs are owned and who they are owned by.

Dont know how but tell all clubs owners they have a couple years to sell 51% of the clubs to supporters groups, same as Germany.

The more I hear about it the more ashamed I am that these ****s are the custodians of my club.

For me there no coming back from this for fsg. This ain't the ticket hike or the furlough of staff this is much more an insult.

Cheers for the stands/Klopp and the prem now pack ya bags and **** the **** off.

 

how the **** are supporters groups meant to raise £100's of millions ?

 

It's a good question.

I can only give my personal opinion. To me football was lost in 1992 to what I saw as the lower classes to the game, from my own political point of view, this all started with Maggie Thatchers (social cleansing) war on football supporters. Also a continuous onslaught by many media outlets, who only ever wanted to publicise the ugly side of the game, and not the good it brought.

So it left a sour taste with me, when Murdoch came along with his SKY and bought the game lock, stock and smoking barrel - which was a bit rich considering his newspapers use to shhite on us every single week..

However, as I explained yesterday, I accepted it, the game now belonged to a new generation and the trappings that brings with it - New stadiums, decent football on TV, less violence, and although the lower leagues never really embraced it, we accepted it because we could see some of the benefits it was bringing and it wasn't a bad product.

Then Spurs like others before them, built their new (billion pound) stadium, and I thought time had come to say fook off to your own league, a European one, something I'd always been against, but these thoughts were due to the money only benefiting some, while pricing others out of the game, and by that I mean at the gate as well has teams going under.

But back to your quuestion, they should have inititially allowed four, based on the four top placings of this years Premier League. To maintain your place in the league, you would have to either finish in the top four of your country league again OR win the Super League or any rules that created FAIR competition.

OH STOP! I just realised, we already have the above, it's called the Champions League.

 

Wrong thread fellas, this is to discuss our future success without the remnants of the old Republic.

 

Youre asking the wrong person.
