Essix Blue Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Starts 2025. 32 clubs involved. This’ll go down well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Which, unless the South American teams are kept apart from the European ones until the final, will end up being an all European final. What’s the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helmut_rooster Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Presumably the European super league teams and some from Brazil and Argentina? Wonder how many billions this will make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Haha. The clubs who looked to breakaway and set up the SL were a disgrace, but let's not kid ourselves that FIFA, UEFA etc., are any better. All about the moolah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about the moolah A big part of shelving the previous Super League plans will be spending a few years working out how the major sponsors and governing bodies can benefit from it, which not all of them looked like they were going to before. When the necessary agreements (and money) have changed hands, it'll come back in a re-badged form without opposition other than from fans (haha). This looks like one of FIFA's fairly low level hands to show in that direction. The structure of football will be nearly unrecognisable in 10 years time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason UEFA and FIFA kicked off about the SL is because they weren't in charge of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon barksdale Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The only difference between the champions league and club World Cup is that certain teams not as good as they used to be , so they throw their toys out the pram will just get guaranteed entry .

edmontonowl Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Infantino said something today that he wanted this club thing to be as big as the WC. But it's not anywhere near the scale. I mean if Man C are in it, I doubt Leicester fans are going to go. Clubs are much more tribal than national teams. If Canada hadn't been in Qatar there'd have been much less media coverage than there was so Boca Jnrs making a run for for the club WC would have next to no appeal. The fellas mad, just like all of 'em at FIFA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Be interesting how the clubs react: managers often bemoan too intense a fixture list, but if their chairman / CEO see £ they’ll doubtless have to seem enthusiastic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 There’s far too much football on TV as it is. Fifa are a total disgrace and only interested in making a buck. They couldn’t care less about the fans or player welfare. How will the European teams qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I really do wonder if the future for the very top clubs is just glorified exhibition matches against each other most of the year. Have a façade of a competition (which in reality means nothing) and tour around the world like a bunch of Harlem Globetrotters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
