There’s no reason why a more product-driven organisation couldn’t double or triple the amount of money that the champions league could generate. This is core issue. UEFA could stagger the start of games, they could play more afternoon or early kickoff games to get Asian audiences, can play late night games to get American audiences. All the talk about tradition and history masks a lack of effort in developing the product. Why does UEFA sell tv rights to individual countries? Why not group it and sell single rights for multiple countries or continent-wide rights? Where's the ignore feature on the new forum? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not possible without also breaking tradition and (rightly) generating uprorar - we don't play games during the traditional working day.

You can start games at 6pm instead of 7.45pm. In countries that have flexible working days, you can even start earlier at 5pm. Games can go 6pm, 8pm, 10pm. You can play Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. That way you get to broadcast 9 games per week, instead of two. The only reason champions league doesn’t happen on Thursday is because UEFA want to put on the Europa League, which is a shitty product that doesn’t get good until basically the semi finals. UEFA hamstring the champions league intentionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Look, I’m not in favour of the super league but I do agree in general that the champions league as currently structured and managed isn’t living up to its potential. It would be better for everyone involved in football if it were managed better. And yes, you can’t escape the fact that a lot of this is to do with money.

Like it or not, clubs have and will continue to be global brands. There are fans around the world who will spend a lot of money and time to watch football. Yes yes plastic Asian fans, blah blah blah. Clubs have become disconnected from their local city and institutions. I don’t think it’s possible to turn back the clock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean they can rightly stop the players from playing until their contracts end.
