StudentOwl Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just now, Groundhopping Owl said: Exactly that - turns out it's only two places but the point remains: "The final two places will go to the clubs with the highest club coefficient over the last five years that have not qualified for the Champions League group stage but have qualified either for the Champions League qualification phase, the Europa League or the Europa Conference League." https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/news/0268-1213f7aa85bb-d56154ff8fe8-1000--uefa-announces-new-format-for-club-competitions-to-be-introduce/ Not a fan of expanding the number of clubs in the competition, but as a mechanism to do so that really doesn't seem a bad way of doing it. Only 2 across the whole of Europe too, plenty of opportunity for variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to swap Cheltenham away for Barcelona Imagine if JP Morgan ended up with their closed shop super league including Sheffield United and Fulham...

Should help Real Madrid's debt. Or those financing it. In theroy someone's about to make a few quid. Edited April 20, 2021 by Maddogbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that would do is see the lawyers get extremely rich The Government can legislate for anything. If they can legislate for compulsory purchase and determine a buying price, I'm sure they can legislate for part purchase under the same terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Malc Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There needs to be consequences for these clubs whether they officially withdraw or not. A points deduction for all with an increase each day they don’t confirm they’ve withdrawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Identify the ring leader in the PL (that will be Man U) and kick them out of the league. Let them apply for re-admission and they can start in the bottom league. F*ck 'em. There has to be some punishment for attempting this at it has to be severe.

Let the 'fans of the future' have their kind of football and the 'legacy fans' have our kind of football, and keep them totally seperate. It will be a shame for the supporters of those particular clubs, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way it could be done, would be to make It law that when a club changes hands, 51% of the club has to be gifted to the fans. As part of the purchase. 5 year limit on that (gives owners time to sell) after that 5 year limit 51% of shares have to be transferred to fans if the club hasn't changed hands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
