    We can agree to disagree mate and your opinion is something you're entitled to but no I don't think what you're implying that's a fallacy.

    I know it's not but make no mistake its designed to kill competition within it. I know exactly what it is.

    So first you make a fallacious claim about my understanding of what the super league plan is and then when I tell you we get a sarcastic apology.

    You and your super league are the perfect match

    Nice to see the two Manchester clubs quickly saying no to this. The other 4 clubs hiding in the grass.

    The worst 4 clubs in the country.

    Well you know exactly what is it apparently so can only assume you’re on the board or something? Because so far all that’s been released is that’s it’s competiton to the champ league and nothing to do with domestic football. But apparently you know better? So can only assume that’s cos you’re on the board and high insider info?

    You were the one making claims about what it is and isn't yourself so can't you see the irony in your post? <laugh> A post made simply because I kindly advised you that your allegations were not correct.

    There's a reason the majority don't want the super league and it's to try and stop clubs like yours further destroying the sport.

    I'm wondering where your owner is btw ? Not seen your club saying no like the two Manchester clubs already... it's almost like his cringeworthy apology when he was forced to pull out wasn't sincere.

    He's no doubt ready to try and play the 'it's been remodelled and it's good for everyone now card'.

    CL doesn't need reshaping, great news if they've scrapped that bullshit plan. Copenhagen are agaisnt Man City, that's a good example of it working as intended. Newcastle played PSG, working as intended.

    Europa League is stupid. Conference is even worse. Just bring back the UEFA Cup format. One ****-off big FA Cup where little teams can get further. The revenues and impact on squads is insane and with like 5% of the reward of CL success, needs to be changed. If the prize money was nearer 25% then it makes sense to add flavour to it.

    The Conference League is a ****ing abomination. Put all the same clubs in the UEFA Cup and, hey presto, same result, same experiences, better money for the lesser clubs and more incentive for it to work.

    This ESL is, has been repeatedly stated, a desperate bid by clubs with unserviceable debt and atrocious business models to get more money, presumably so they can continue to spiral into worsening debt. Who's interested? The abominations that are Real, Barca and Juve.

    UEFA just need to get a grip and pull it back, less is more and all that. The prestige is disappearing with ever increasing pools of clubs. What I wouldn't give for a return to a European Cup that was only played by teams who won their league, and a UEFA Cup with the 2nd and 3rd placed.

    CL is being reshaped into one big league next season. 32 teams. 8 games each in one big random table where don’t play everyone. It’s ****. But uefa have a monopoly on football so can do what they want. **** format with more games to make more money… not that uefa care about money. They’re all about the fans.

    So they're just going to rig it so the big clubs get little clubs in a "random" draw?

    Jesus ****ing Christ. Honestly, I'd be inclined to actually listen to A22 at this rate.

    Split into 4 pots.

    each team plays 2 teams from pot 1. 2 from pot 2, 2 from pot 3 and 2 from pot 4. One each home and away from each pot.
