JH Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 An extra cup competition in the middle of the season, that you get told which players you have to play and which can't, there is no prize at the end of it nor does any team make any money from any match? Hey, I can see this being popular with clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Mag Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Would people be interested in the introduction of some sort of British Club Cup? The idea would be that this would be enforced rigorously, any team refusing to participate or play strong teams would get point deductions in their domestic leagues. This could be played midweek in the second half of the season on non-CL weeks. Or if this is infeasible bi-annually in the summer. Tournament features 10 teams, and the winner/finalist plays 5 or 6 games: Preliminary Round Highest Welsh Team in English League vs 2nd Welsh League 2nd Welsh Team in English League vs 1st Welsh League 1st N.Ireland League vs 2nd Irish League 2nd N.Ireland League vs 1st Irish League Round 1 1 legged match, Irish/Welsh sides play at national team stadiums Away sides are 2 best Scottish teams and 2 best English sides (if you haven't been knocked out of Europe by this stage the next lower team can play) Round 2 Two legged match. Final 1 match played at neutral country national team stadium. What makes this tournament different is that only British and Irish players can play in it. Additionally, the organising body can direct that certain players have to play if fit. For example if we were the English qualifier, we'd be told that Nolan, Barton and Simpson had to play. Point of this is that it allows young British players to play in a more competitive environment and hone their skills or stake a place for the first team. Clubs don't receive TV money/gate receipts/prize money. Instead a share based on how well the club did gets put in a trust fund that can only be invested on British youth. Any money not taken for this purpose goes to national academies. Aye go on then, you can arrange it if you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW1983 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The last thing i would ever want to do is invite Rangers or celtic fans to come and destroy another city and IMO players wouldn't give a fuck about it and would rather be on holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
