What I mean is, you agree that it's a logistical and financial nightmare for fans, so you've answered your own question about what difference it makes. I think I get what you mean though, money and logistics aside they're both two great places to visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Looks like a third European club competition will be on its way in 2021 - used to like the old cup winners cup - suppose you can’t have that now as all the big teams generally win them now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 From the article: It is more likely that it will be a Champions League-lite, with entry limited to teams from Europe’s weaker national leagues. That's pretty crap. I mean, the EL needs reform with less teams and more meaningful games and rewards, but if UEFA's answer is to kick out the teams from minor leagues to a shithouse third-tier competition...

triggs Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The more clubs getting to play in Europe the better. Its vital that these teams from smaller countries are given the chance to qualify for the Europa or CL but I think its a canny idea for teams knocked out of Europa/CL qualifying if that's what its for. There would have to be big financial rewards for these clubs though and not sure if that would be possible as viewership would probably be limited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Some big differences in this lot! West Ham good job the mackems aren't in the Premier League https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/45158878?

Don't think this one's a winner I admire the brass neck of La Liga to have not bothered consulting literally anybody before announcing it I think they wanted to show a fait accompli expecting it would make everybody fall in line. We'll see what happens at the end. The clubs do want it. The FPA and the FA can be bought, if those agree the government will probably then stay clear.
