This topic has been discussed for a number of years now & perhaps there have been discussions despite the denials of the clubs involved. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46078651 Wouldn't people get bored with the same teams playing the same teams round and round without much variation? The clubs wish to do away with relegation Is football at this level destined to be just 'entertainment'? with no real competition What would happen to the Champions League, the Europa League and the PL? Is there much point aiming for the PL in this case? when we get there, the top team will be Spurs
It's not about entertainment it's about money, fans as we know are an irrelevance ,football and overseas TV revenue are the drivers, Man U make masses of money despite league position. Real and Man U will save the embarrassment of being beaten by little teams , the death of football becons, Super Soccer League (Europe) will rule ...
Let them go and play each other. Never let them play anyone else. Stop the players from playing for their national teams. Be entertaining then.
****’s it got to do with Arsenal? They’re a mid table mediocre Premier League side who have consistently underachieved since they weaseled their way into the First Division a hundred years ago. Yet another reason to hate the ****s.
the Champions League has be boring for a number of years now, more or less the same teams playing each year, tbh i wouldn't have a problem with the top 4 ****ing off to play in some european league, it might then freshen up the Premier league which over recent years as turned into a joke league dominated by the same teams year in year out.
I'm sure this European league will happen one day, it just a matter of time. I am really unsure how that will, in the end, affect clubs that are not involved I would like to think that if the clubs that are not involved handle it right, then it could revive the game as we know it. If there are more competitive leagues, this could generate more interest and get fans back into the grounds and supporting their local teams.
I'd love this to happen, the top 4-6 from the PL can **** off leaving a much more level playing field for the rest of us. Sack them off from the FA Cup and League cup too and football in this country could get a lot more competitive and interesting. As for those clubs which knack off, yeah they'll get a **** load of money but how quickly will playing in a 16 team super league, with no champions league football, no cup competitions become really ****ing dull? Add to that, the fact that every one of those teams is used to winning most weeks, challenging at the top of the league, winning trophies and being a big fish in a small pond, how's it going to feel for 75% of them when they're suddenly reinvented as mid to bottom of the table teams over and again with no chance of winning anything?
Good post pierre and the sooner it happens the better, in my opinion. Getting rid of ****s like Raheem Stirling and others of his ilk would also be a bonus.
Four divisions of 22 teams, a div 3 N and a div 3 S so as to avoid Carlisle v Plymouth on a Tuesday night type games. All games to kick off 3 pm Sat , no Friday, Sunday or Monday games.
Man United and Arsenal have apparently said they don't like the idea and Bayern Munich deny even knowing anything about it.
Also never got why people dislike the big clubs and want rid of them. Not their fault they are successful. I assume it's related to Jealousy. Losing them would instantly weaken our league system. Not a fan of this idea at all.
GTF They have slowly strangled football in this country and ringfenced the prizes, so about 85 clubs are just making up the numbers. 85 clubs pressing their noses up against the windows looking in. Leicester ? The exception that proves the rule. Football has slowly but surely become utterly ****ish under the present template, with pundits, refs and journalists ignominiously gulping down the jizz so they don't get thrown off the gravy train. Billionaire-backed Bournemouth v wonga-soaked Watford jizzed over by the media as the millionaire larkers 'are entitled to go down' as they brush past an opponent. Have you ever seen such an example of the Emperor's New Clothes? Chelsea loaning out 273 players each season as they corner the market in young talent- have you ever seen such a **** sport where money tips the scale of fairness? In the US they have a much more even system where there is genuine competition each season with the restrictions placed on wages etc. Here the PL have allowed dodgy foreign owners to use the game as some kind of grotesque ego appendage and image laundering device. No one has stood up for the fans vision of the game. At least In Germany, they have a clue about the big picture and sustainable fanbases, here the likes of $cudamore have just sold the game to the highest bidder and Sky have brainwashed a generation into couch-supporterdom, Sorry. Rant over. Just come back from doc's,
