    Any PL club that signs up should be kicked out of the league.

    Yeah it's an easy choice for any clubs - stay or go but you can't do both, it's one or the other. I honestly hope teams like Chelsea etc. **** off and enjoy having 3 games a decade at their home ground while the team is playing games across all the continents.

    A 96 team tournament. Is this to rival the champions league. This crap confuses me.

    I can’t see how it will ever work.

    It'll happen eventually without a shadow of doubt. It's when not if ... businesses with billions of debt want that cash and they want it all.

    But how is there MORE cash?? They’d be competing with UEFA competition. It’s just that feckless, greedy prick Perez but with any luck he’ll be in the great directors box in the sky soon enough.

    The organisation behind it are offering billions more and that's why it'll happen one day whether people like it or not.

    It simply replaces the champions league Europa and conference.. the PL remains nobody leaves.

    I suspect what will also change however is the percentiles on who gets what of the billions and of course FFP and PSR in an equally or worse form would remain.

    Seems a bit conspiracy theory, considering that's exciting what football is trying to get away from.

    They don't care about anything other than money and their personal interests. Eventually it'll happen and I'm basing my opinion on that sad reality.

    I'm not sure what we've got now is any worse at this point...ffp and psr rich clubs getting richer and lesser clubs being told they will be punished if they try to compete financially.

    I don't believe that it will ever happen. I'm usually wrong on these predictions of mine though...

    It just doesn't make any sense. Replace the UCL with the UCL, but add a TV channel to stream purely those matches that are already available on a streaming service?

    Sounds more to me like a handful of corporate greedy ****s want to line their own pockets with a TV station, and they are trying to pay teams to provide the entertainment.

    So it has **** ALL to do with sport. What a ****ing disgrace.
