Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Roberto Firmino]

It is still better than the format they are trying to introduce as it is based on merit and is not a closed book format

if you have a bad season you don't get into the next season which is similar to the relegation \promotion format we have in all leagues format

Personally I wouldn't change anything keep it all like it is

Have to say
to PSG , Bayern Munich and Dortmund for all saying no to this super league idea

It's really not though because it just increases places for bigger teams/leagues (they talking about 6 teams from some leagues ) and still shuts out champions of the smaller leagues, I'm really not interested in this new CL format unless those places going outside the BIg 5 leagues. Like I said I'm not a fan of a super league but if it's a choice between 2 money grabs which they both are, the shyt new CL or us going it alone with the other clubs and the money on offer it's an easy one to make.

I'm done if this super league shyt happens

Bullshyt...we will watch regardless bc at the end of the day, the quality of football being played will be top drawer...

Champions League itself is welfare football. You know which teams usually compete truly for it with a winning chance ? The teams that signed up for this super league bar the German/French teams currently holding out.

if you a top team, would ok with the UEFA taking 50-60 million to give to a team for participating that didn’t contribute 10% of the revenue you brought to the competition? And that’s not counting the money UEFA holds out for miscellaneous purposes.

Players however might want to oppose it bc a Salary Cap would definitely be in their future

The rebels will wither and die. And we shall dance on their graves.

For starters all the South Americans will leave straight away when FIFA bans rebellious players from inter international football. A World Cup or a Libertadores is worth 10x more to them than any European trophy, never mind some Mickey Mouse crap. They will just go to PSG or Bayern to maintain their salaries.

The World Cup is still by far the pinnacle of football. Why? Because billions of casuals watch it, and they know literally nothing about the sport. They tune in for an exercise in nationalism, not for the quality of the football. They can't tell the difference between some non-league hack and Cronaldo, they'll watch it regardless of who is playing and how good they are. Because its the colours and the national flags that matter to the casual viewer, not the skills on display. And that's where the money gets made. Advertisers care far more about getting a commercial in a World Cup broadcast than they do being the official condom of Manchester United.

These rebel clubs will be crushed like the insects that they are, like when Crassus beat Spartacus and crucified every last one of the rebellious gladiators along the Appian Way

i just saw the headline.. my 1st impression is that i hate it. i want to see smaller clubs play the big boys and sometimes teams such as Man U. are flabby and don't deserve to be apart of anything.

I won't, it will fukk this game up even more. Say goodbye to League football

 

[MikelArteta]

ike when Crassus beat Spartacus and crucified every last one of the rebellious gladiators along the Appian Way

 

[The axe murderer]

how's PES?

To be honest I much prefer it to fifa. The game mechanics etc. They don't feel like they're skating on grass and it's solid tbh

G.Nev spittin

You'd never have a former player spit that way in America. ESPN would have the guy banned

So you would rather leave the PL and enter this new ESL than stay in the PL and have a chance to enter the new CL by merit if it was a choice ?

For me it's a no way Pedro

Yeah the new format is kinda rubbish and favouring big teams and I would rather the 5 or 6 new places went to other champs from the lesser league , but to even think about going to this ESL American style league format is absurd

How can anyone side with UEFA or the leagues. The corrupt fukks just want to keepntheir money in house. Soccer needs consolidation and better structure. It's too loosey goose. fukk the champions league.

No it really doesn't need consolidation, you can consolidate, the world's game.

It does need restructuring to away the power a few teams and leagues have.
