    Going by your logic we all might as well pack in,i mean the Euro's and the World Cup are a waste of time.

    The 'rationale' i propose would leave The Champions League for champions only, meaning those involved would be reigning domestic champions and playing domestic champions clubs from other countries and the winners being crowned the best team in Europe and rightly so.

    You more or less said yourself that the present format is a farce and that Chelsea, us in 2005(and even Utd in 98-99 season)entered the stupidly titled money driven competition when we all weren't champions of England.

    as you are looking for exact quotes regarding "The Agreement"....

    http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/H...ndan-Rodgers/story-16250332-detail/story.html

    Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has revealed an agreement is in place to prevent newly-appointed Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers signing players from his former club for 12 months.

    The Northern Irishman was presented as the new Reds manager this morning after the Merseyside club settled on a compensation package with Swansea.


    But he will not be able to raid his former club for talent over the next year.

    &#8220;We have got some protection on Brendan coming back for our players in the initial period, which I think is the right thing,&#8221; Jenkins said in a radio interview.

    &#8220;He has got a timescale to assess things there and that is going to take him while so I&#8217;ve got no worries there. We have got a 12 month respite.&#8221;

    A statement made by the club said: "Swansea City can confirm that Liverpool will not be allowed to make transfer bids for any players at the Liberty Stadium for the next 12 months.

    "The clause was included in the compensation agreement finalised last night between the two clubs following the departure of manager Brendan Rodgers from the Liberty Stadium to Anfield."



    To be fair, it should all be a little clearer tomorrow. Joe is due to meet with ML tomorrow. Then we can all move on!!

    Have you seen it?? Why make a statement about such an agreement?? Why would Liverpool's legal eagles sign such a document in a contract if it was not legally binding??

    Anyhow, as I said, things will be a lot clearer tomorrow and we can all move on :biggrin:

    You obviously have seen it.:biggrin:


    You can bet your bottom dollar that if 'the agreement' was between Swansea and Liverpool Jenkins would have been to the FA and stated that our club was party to it and broke it.
    The agreement is between the two men and not the two clubs and was probably made the day Jenkins gave Rodgers permission to leave Swansea.

    If you knew anything about marine life them you would know that the canoeist is no danger at all as he is being followed by a Whale Shark which has no teeth and eats crill. It is also the largest shark in the world.

    But its not just for Champions, nor has it ever been a league. When it was just champions who entered it was pure knockout. Knockout dont tell you ****, except that one team played better/were more lucky, on that particular day.
    The only true way would be to make it a league, where every team that entered played every other team twice, home and away.

    Says the fan of Chelsea, possibly the worst team ever to win the trophy. (by parking the bus, and breaking up play with diving).

    If you knew anything about marine life you would be able to see from the silhouette that it is not a whale shark which has a wide and broad head in order to increase it's ability to eat plankton. Also the lack of upper pigmentaion of brown with lighter dotts makes it obvious that aint no whale shark. From it's distinct pointed nose and definite dark top / lighter underside, from my studies and from the site I took it from... that looks like a Great White to me... Epic fail...Try again!!

    Some of you deluded guys take things so seriously ... laters. Sorry for trying to make amends

    I do love a bit of minty lamb, and Welsh lamb is the best, as it is less fatty, as you sick feckers have chased them all over Pembrokeshire

    You eat them after the farmers **** em :biggrin: Apparently they use wellies to stick their back legs in to stop them running, or chase them to the cliff edge so they push back harder.

    Thats Pembrokeshire, otherwise known as little England beyond Wales

    I'll hazard a guess that you have never seen a whale shark from the air. At that hight - even in crystal clear water - you would not see the markings on the shark and the silhouette would appear dark. However, I will accept that it is a great white from your explanation.
