    Much will depend on how the players and fans respond. Some players do have a conscience and may want nothing to do with this.

    The writing was on the wall when the champions league took over from the European cup. Even the name is laughable, champions league. For finsihing 4th? The whole restructuring of football since 92 has been done for sheer greed alone. The proposed changes to the champions league is just a extension of this.

    You're correct @SimonW@SimonW I personally dont give one, my team will never be involved but at least it's possible for lesser teams to make it and compete unlike the ESL.

    Two things: more games between the biggest clubs can only reduce the magnitude of those events. More is not better at the elite level in any industry, from music to prize fighting to all sports.

    Then, those supporting top clubs through this issue aren't supporting the team, they're supporting the owners.

    Franchise style sports wouldn't care two jots about relocating Man Utd to Shanghai if the money is there and that's a fact. If that's your dream, continue to defend this BS. If you do care about 'Manchester United' or 'Liverpool', you gotta grow a backbone boys and girls.

    Stop fantasising about profit and thinking along the lines of elitist owners because that's the end of your clubs legacy.

    As you say both players and fans will have an influence on this, it's difficult to see what happens with a footballer who's coming to the end of his career wanting to continue playing at let's say Championship level once he took his pound of flesh from ths ESL I doubt he would be allowed back, having said that not many players this day and age drop division to continue to play.
    I think with regards fans the instigaters of this have little concern for the likes of United, City, Chelsea fans there is a massive audience in Asia, the Middle East etc that was Sepp Blatters comment with regards taking football to the outer regions of the world when most recognise if was nothing to do with football and all to do with money, is Blatter banged up yet ?.

    Exactly. They won't give a stuff for 'local' fans. They'll take games all around the world, like a non-stop roadshow.

    Yeh, as soon as a couple of clubs move to different continents Europe won't be the focus, it will be global.

    This step needs to be prevented or delayed indefinitely.

    Watching the games by VR or something and probably picking a seat in whatever stadium you want to watch it in.

    Not in my lifetime, thanks.

    It’s where it’s going. This is it. Either there’s some form of intervention - probably needs to be government led - to reform how these clubs are owned, through some sort of fan-owned model, or local supporter groups and lower level football is done. It’ll all be about chasing new revenue through offshore supporters and watching through VR and streaming services, with games held all over the world.



    ‘The wellbeing of the game is secondary to making money’. That’s it, right there.

    It not only would cost them a shed load it would also get overturned as as far as I’m aware they haven’t broken any rules yet. All they have done is suggest a new competition.

    Will the players have a say in it? They will still be legally contracted to the club. I’d be surprised if there was a clause saying the team had to be in the premier league etc in most contracts.

    I’ve got no idea as to the legal implications, but if players are prevented from being able to play PL and international games, I’d imagine they’d have some recourse. Whether they’d want to, as they’re going to earn even more, is another matter.

    not sure they would unless it is written into their contract. Do England players even get paid to play?

    I think its a token appearance fee that most/all donate to charity.

    What great insight albeit from one board member of one of the 6 'breakaway' clubs.

    He is being a little naive about the relegation issue. The US owners also have sporting interests in NFL, NBA and MLB back home and they are all closed shops with no relegation or promotion at the top level. That's what these guys have been brought up on and know nothing different. I'm not surprised that they would question why the most important of all European football leagues should have relegation and promotion. 'We' take it for granted that there is relegation and promotion; they simply don't.

    Having said that, I'm still of the view that this is a power play for the 'Big 6' and the other top teams to get a bigger share of the Champions League revenue for themselves.

    Of course the owners expected a back lash as I posted J,P,Morgan will have had their legal people all over this for months.

    Leeds would have been all over this if they had been invited, just like everyone in the PL
