Absolutely. Terrible call from them. They’ve been steadily increasing their own status through bribing lower league teams and turning the screw here and there over the years. Presumably thought they could do what they wanted. No subtlety here though. Hopefully people will be more wary of their motives going forward.

The United supporters club were and are as opposed to the ESL as the rest of us. There is a golden opportunity here for the Government and football authorities to press on and reform club ownership, but will they take it? 50+1 has to be the objective. Time to get these parasite owners out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have all effectively brought the game into disrepute with no regard for any other club. 20 points and a ban from European competition for four years.

Canada_latic Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I hope UEFA now uses this position of strength, to format the champions league properly. Back to when it was the champions of the European domestic league's only took part. With the exception of 3 places awarded to the previous champions league winners, the UEFA cup winners and the winners of the European cup winners cup. 2nd to 5th of those leagues qualify for the UEFA cup and the fa cup winners go into the cup winners cup. League cup winners qualify for UEFA or cup winners cup. I know this won't happen. But I can imagine that they may show some common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason UEFA gave a fuck in the first place was the that they lost access to the cash-cows. There's not a chance anyone will be banned from Europe or be given enough of a points deduction to stop them getting there. This is the same as what people were saying yesterday - this isn't revolution, it's evolution. There's no winners here, just lesser evils. 8 hours ago, Canada_latic said: I hope UEFA now uses this position of strength, to format the champions league properly. Again, I don't think we should be happy about any of this. FIFA and UEFA are corrupt shithouses of people just as self-serving and malicious as any of the ESL clubs and their plans. If anyone thinks that Aleksander Čeferin or Gianni Infantino are the good guys here then they need their head checking. 1 hour ago, Matt said: If only we (people and the collective media) could do the same when it comes to things like, oh I don't know - maybe the health secretary bunging his mates and his sister millions of our pounds?

Well it helps when you have people in the media who will divert the attention away from stuff like this. Look brown people are coming after you!

It’s awful. 32 teams in the ‘Champions’ league. We already have 32 teams in the CL, and the UEFA reforms will make matters worse by increasing it to 36. Modern football at the international level - World Cup, Euros, CL - is far too bloated. In a sane world we would revert to 16 (ok maybe 24) for the WC, 16 for the Euros and champions only for the CL. That ship has sailed though. The corrupt leadership of Havelange and his successors bought the votes of FAs outside Europe and South America by promising extra World Cup places to developing nations, hence the current shambles, which will worsen when we get 48 teams competing. Back on the greedy 6 or 12, John Barnes was very good on the BBC this morning. The status quo has been restored and there is nothing on offer for L1/L2 clubs. Unless somehow the likes of Fenway, the Glazers, Abramovich etc can be turfed out of the domestic game the vaunted pyramid will continue to be semi-detached. I'd love to see 50+1 brought in but I don't see a way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
