Expand 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.

Expand 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.
