timeEd32 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I know Madrid and some others may still be interested, but this increasingly feels like it's driven by a desperate attempt to fix Barcelona's financial situation before it truly becomes disastrous.

cubaricho Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 They look at America and closed leagues and see that teams like the Baltimore Orioles sell for over a billion dollars (the price of five/six Newcastles) - a team most people in Europe possibly haven’t even heard of.

Disco Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The lack of punishment on those who tried to fucking ruin the whole of English football to the nth degree and the lack of constant reminding thereof that has been utterly ignored still boils my piss albeit it’s no surprise.

Heron Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Probably an unpopular opinion but if they made the Champions League and other European cups a more level playing field then all the European leagues would collectively improve over time and competitivity and quality would improve across those leagues where its subsiding. I appreciate it helps us and helps the English league, but never really been a fan of the too 4 or 5 from the PL going into the CL. Even using us as an example, last season we won fuck all so by definition we aren't champions. I understand awards should be won on merit, but us finishing 4th isn't the same as Bruges or PSV or Stauea Bucharest winning their respective leagues. If the money went back to those teams, they obviously improve and perhaps there'd be a bigger gulf domestically but surely that gives local folk the desire to invest in local sides in an attempt to hit those heavy heights for both sporting and financial reasons. The European Super League is a short termist load of shite that won't work. It'll seem a good idea for 3 months and everyone will bin it off. Another situation where greed is proceeding the match going fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
