What a great idea
Be interesting to see how this pans out. Only thing I like is that UEFA are rattled. They are the greed merchants of Europe.
Football is all about the money. I'm fine with something else replacing the champions league/Europa league but it has to be done on sporting merit. All this founders club stuff is bullshit.
It's so utterly shite, I can't quite find the words
We only have to go back to last week with the attack on the RM bus to know that football has been dying a slow death for many years. A £22,000 fine ffs. No meaningful attempts to rid the game of diving and cheating, token punishments around racism and a general lack of any leadership. Didn't see anyone jumping in to help Bury out. This latest fiasco is a bi-product of all that has gone before. Not even got to the World Cup in Qatar.
That all said, I feel very flat as a Chelsea fan, and wonder if I will give a fuck tmrw evening. I won't want to, but no doubt will.
If the rumours are true on the new Champs League format, then the ESL is pretty close to that format. Except UEFA takes the lion share. UEFA are no friend of chelsea. Not saying I am in agreement with ESL but just putting some context on the issue.
