Club world cup

If ever something summed FIFA up it is this tournament like. Prices, schedule, the fact that nobody is interested, 'qualification'/invitations based not on merit. 

 

Won't be watching a minute of it and I really hope it flops.

Yeah no one is going to that shit

People have been paying like $1,000 to watch Messi in a regular MLS match.

The Inter Miami games will still sell, not so much the other games.

In my opinion, they should have to not compete in the EFL Cup if they do that.

 

Says they'll exempt themselves from qualification into Europe via the English, domestic, route which would be varnigh impossible anyway. 

I guess they'd still want the lure of a profitable Cup run/game against a big team and remain in the pyramid. 

Cake and eat it, scenario

I was actually thinking about this the other day, about how the League Cup has lost a fair bit of its prestige in recent years, and how it feels like a lot of Premier League clubs playing in Europe can't wait for it to be binned. 

 

Not sure how possible it would be but to "fix" the competition, I would make it a UK Wide tournament (Maybe the top 4 leagues in England and Scotland, and the top 3 in Northern Ireland and Wales) but I would make it a competition that doesn't involve teams playing in Europe that season. Teams like Brentford may then decide to actually compete in it, as its a genuine chance of silverware, and you get some weird matchups that could be a good payday for clubs in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

From a Leicester ITK so probably bullshit but rumours going around in Leicester circles that Van Nistelrooy is close to walking. Was promised signings and nowt happening.

 

If true, what an absolute shambles that club is. :lol: Mad given how they were the envy of most of the league 3-6 years ago.

Would be a convenient escape route for him to deflect from the absolutely diabolical results and performances.
