I legit won't give enough of a poo poo about this to watch it. Champions league is fun because of the stakes, this feels like it won't have any. Might give Hartlepool a better shot at getting promoted back into the football league though, so gently caress off premier league teams to the pyrite goose you're going to slaughter.

araeris posted:I think the point the controlling interests of these 12 (but really 15) clubs have made is the domestic leagues would be burning down their own houses if they tried. The revenue that the domestic leagues and Champions League enjoy come overwhelmingly from fans of these teams. This would own, actually. Let the ultrarich gently caress off to their playground and football can again become a game of the downtrodden, played in crumbling stadiums full of the poor who want to have a fight in the tube station before, during and after the game.

Just make it all home and home knockouts, random draw. Or at least that's what the Europa league should've done instead of following the champions league bloat strategy

FullLeatherJacket posted:This is one of my dumb hobby-horses that no-one likes or cares about (like all of my posting), but the old European Cup format was bad then and would be worse now despite old men's nostalgia. Brian Clough won two of them essentially by battering teams from countries that don't exist any more and then beating Malmo (which I think still exists, but I'm not going there to check) in the final. I think the champions league can stay as it is, but europa league is a joke anyway so let it be chaos.

FullLeatherJacket posted:their preference is for it to replace the existing midweek Champions League (essentially a Champions League but certain teams are guaranteed a place), but as an inevitability everyone else has basically said that the door will be closed behind them and it'll be treated as a full breakaway from existing competitions including for FIFA national team eligibility It's a shame that scheduling midweek league games for the same weeks this trash is supposed to be played would punish non-breakaway clubs as well

Praying the FA come out and say they're cancelling relegation this year. First 3 teams to withdraw get to stay, the other 3 are banished to the nether dimension (national league north/south)

I thought they were pretty much nothing. Should've death penaltied the clubs and booted them from the football league
