English Premier League & Other Club Football Thread

Where did anyone do that?

No one has held an opinion on if the ESL will be better than the CL because it is still in the planning stages.

The model deliberately follows the American NFL model in eschewing relegation because it offers more security for investors, right?

I think it might help CelticFC if it happens, less competition :grimacing: going forward in the CL, ffs we might even get a spot.

Purely to replace the CL, which has a current model of being ass.

Seems like it, but Euros copying American systems isn’t America doing/supporting this.

The Monday I needed, thanks Perez and also that Juve guy :hugs:

Prove me wrong and admit you’re wrong about aofrantic/me supporting the ESL.

Just that the two Yanks itt are the only to have posted in favour of it.

Sample size tho lol

Who’s the other yank after CN?

English really is different over the pond.

Canadian?

I do apologise - no insult intended.

It’s easy Marty “huh, they didn’t post in support of this did they, sorry guys”

I wouldn’t say I’m in favour of the ESL, mid table clubs obviously get hurt.

But, uefa crying foul is hilarious. They did this exact same thing with international competitions and no one complained bc it meant more money and teams in.

Arsenal are 2 years removed from fans paying thousands to go to a final in Azerbaijan and their starting RW not playing the match because he wasn’t allowed in the country due to being Armenian.

They’ve not tackled FFP or racism with any vigor.

The product for the CL and Europa league is poor, while the conference league is a bad idea.

Fifa crying after they gave the last 2 WC out for bribes and will change around the entire schedule to play in Qatar? Get fucked.

I dont like nor support Perez, the juve ceo, the oil money or the American owners. But I don’t know if they could do worse than uefa,/fifa.

Yes, people are more interested in watching Spurs play than Krasnodar get thumped every match and get last place with a negative double digit GD. That’s just a fact dude.

Tbf… If celtic were getting taken out the league to face European opposition every week I’d be so happy it just brings more culture to our little corner of Glasgow :ok_hand:

After the shitshow of the SFA in scotland for year on year culminating in relegating 2 clubs who never got the chance to finish the league was dispiriting to say the least, the quicker were out their grasp the better imo.

Alough England and English teams are very different in that their FA is a lot more equal to more clubs, sure I’ll hear shit from some fans/teams that felt they were not treated fairly Ofcourse but nothing to what we’ve had up here and its all down to bigigtory people, it’s a effen sickness that we need to get far away from as a club & Europe sounds good to me.

Theirs also a LOT of traditional support down their and I can see why it’s upsetting to most if not all in England.

It will break some clubs and people if it goes ahead and don’t be surprised if the European fans coming over need a police escort in the future. They’ll riot for sure.

come on @marty

The uefa cup 25 years ago was solely for those who won the league and a straight KO. It became prestigious when more teams were let in and more money came to those who were allowed in.

People have talked about history here, the Champions league has very little. There are already multiple qualifying rounds for “smaller” leagues like Scotland, Norway etc. Uefa literally proposed 2 CL spots today for the highest ranked teams who don’t make it. Aka Arsenal as it stands.

Exactly… But it’s more than that I believe, it will put a pretty big dent in the domestic game as we know it.

You mean the European Cup that ran for decades. You’re showing a lot here.

We all agree that the decline began with the PL and continued with the CL (many of the group stage games are irrelevant), but that’s no reason to throw your hands in the air and say “Why not run it into the ground?”.

Yes, which has basically nothing in common with the current day CL.

It’s obviously gross these clubs are trying a money grab while fans aren’t allowed in the stands to object. That’s cynical and disgusting. But, everything about modern football already is.
