Just what everyone needs - Perez running his mouth and acting as a de facto spokesperson for the Suicide Squad.
"Some of us have been spunking money with no consideration of the consequences for years. We've resigned academy products at world record fees, given hundreds of millions to agents, let salaries spiral out of control, made shocking managerial appointments and lost CL matches to teams who had loaned our very own failed Galacticos. Our ludicrous wastefulness and staggering lack of foresight has been hammered home by this pandemic and now we want to tear up the fabric of domestic football to make up for our own mistakes. We're the good guys."
The champions league has lost meaning??? What the feck was all the wanking over Decima about then?
I agree with this. Also to touch on Messi. With or with out PSG and City, he would demand astronomical wages. A) It's always been that way B) Ronaldo would have played a role in that. Every time one gets a bump the other one does too.
I'm expecting Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg to become referees in the Super League (along with that one English referee who was disgraced a while back).
I knew I was getting Dart Vader vibes from somewhere.
Klopp is a full of it clown. I was pretty weirded by the number of posters here thinking he'd be their savior.
Pray I do not alter it further
Yeah, its not like they are in financial trouble for the first time. They started inflating the market and were bailed out 20 years ago. The difference now is that the state cant support them anymore.
He's gone full Trump
23 year agreement.
If players kick up enough fuss, they'll go.
Yeah and they've signed up for 23 years.
I still think they'll meet somewhere in middle after a lot of posturing.
900/60 That vote 
If you ask "Are puppies good?" you won't get that categorical answer.

PL without the big six.
The three teams to be relegated stay up and six others promoted.
It does make for a "fairer" league that anyone could win.
Could actually be more interesting.

Champions league lost meaning but will take CL throphy with them, also maybe because him and other mfs pushed this whole CL change, now we have top 4, top3 getting 100% CL group stages, so they milked that as much as they could, time to switch on something else.
If CL lost its meaning they are the reason why that happened.

I don't give a damn about City and PSG and I also won't make moronic points about Barcelona just to eventually admit that I'm talking through my backside. Barcelona almost bankrupted themselves out of stupidity, you admitted it yourself.
I was just looking at the club coefficients for Europe:
For all the criticism Tottenham are getting, at least they're in the top 15. It's Inter and AC Milan who are living the most charmed lives amongst the founders.
Sevilla/Roma can count themselves as particularly unlucky.

Sevilla said they declined. Not sure if they were asked.
Perez gonna have a pikachu face on Friday.
Hillarious. He is presenting himself like world saviour. Soon he will want a statue.
UEFA, FIFA and other associations should just say "save this" and just go on with consenquences.
I know I'm in the minority but I'm looking forward to a CL without these teams. Less money, but hopefully more historical teams making the final rounds and a lot more variety in terms of countries. I'm excited about it, I hope UEFA doesn't do away with it.
Well when you put it like that...
So what's the thinking of the PL 6 who by being part of the PL agreed not to compete in other competitions?
Do they think the PL will just cave?

2 Glasgow clubs and Benfica... Maybe?
So what could the government do?
We they have the power of taxation. Could make it quite costly to a business venture.
They also control work visas for players of the team and visa to enter the country.
Could you imagine added red tape for a team from Spain to enter GB if the government wanted it to be.

Hmm, because I'm sure business novices like Abramovich and whatever country it is that own City regularly sign binding multi-decade contracts on ultra high risk projects with absolutely no exit clauses..
Florentino Perez: "Why aren't UEFA and La Liga salaries public? We need more transparency"
Maybe he should disclose his own salary to start things off...
It's hilarious that your somehow a shill for both opposing oil teams because you disagree on whether or not Barcelona were the architect of their own demise.
There's more chance of Rangers and Celtic joining the Premier League than the ESL.
Teams will have the option of being in a second league or in the current C.L
Didn't PSG/Bayern confirm they were invited and turned it down or is it just fake news? Not really one to take Perez at his word.
What?
In Benfica's message boards 99% of fans hate the idea.
Err, what? If SL teams weren't in a domestic league then how exactly would they qualify for the current CL? Also isn't SL supposedly going to be during the week so as not to conflict with domestic leagues?
What? So they’ll still play Domestic, ESL and CL?
Read / heard the same from several different sources.
