I don't know about that. The biggest and bestest clubs in Europe going at it every weekend... The only reason it would suck for me is because Lazio would not make the cut, and domestic leagues would be rendered basically 2nd division standard.

awful idea that would ruin anyone not invited to that puddle of wank.

You would thing none of the national associations would back it. They wouldn't allow any of the clubs to be involved in domestic matches.
And then how would clubs like Liverpool and United cope with being regularly near the bottom of the league

Look on the bright side. We didn't need to spend 1 billion plus just to turn over a small profit.

As for this meeting, it has echos of the gang of 5 that led to the premier league being set up.
Sub Chelsea and City in for Spurs and Everton.
Horrible idea and I hope we're only there to see how the land lies. Let the others set up their comp, I don't want us to have any part of it.
And I'm no fan of the champions league so have no problem with UEFA being shafted.

Anything involving Stephen Ross is bound to fail.

Not really. You only need the a big bunch to break and the rest will follow.
That being said I hope it doesn't happen. Think it would ultimately hurt football in countries like England.

If it gets off the ground, I desperately hope we're not invited.
Glad to see the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th and 11th placed clubs still think they're 'Europe's elite'

IF.... IF it was go ahead, no way would Man City not be involved. The Shiek's would not let their multi-billion pound investment be decimated by essentially playing in a provincial league.
UEFA should definitely bring back the European Cup in its purest form but money talks. Currently the Champions League is like a hybrid of this proposal, which I agree is not that great.

It probably was to do with the international champions cup pre season things.
However that is not really a good headline to have.

I do think the Premier League at the least does needs a look at it. The amount of games put them at a big disadvantage in Europe compared to say Germany and the strength of the EPL also hurts, not like Spain and Germany where every second game is an easy one.
It seems a lot more seem to get injured too, not sure if there's stats on that or it's just in my head. If Spurs and Leicester do make CL you could put good money they won't back it up, just too hard on the two fronts for the non billion dollar clubs.

“We are strongly opposed to any breakaway,” an Arsenal official stated.
“Not Arsenal, nor any clubs at the meeting, are seeking changes to the Premier League and European landscape and no conversations surrounding displacing the Premier League or starting a European Super League took place.
“Discussions were primarily around the ICC and formats of European competitions that would compliment the existing Premier League.

you have to wonder sometimes why there are people who have a fair bit of cashola, purchase something kinda important and then * around with it and do nothing with it. then have to sell it off at most likely a loss and a tarnished reputation.
lot of idiots with deep pockets.

People often confuse extreme wealth with astute business acumen. The 2 are not necessarily mutually inclusive events. If you haven't already, read about the career of the current favourite for the US Republican Party presidential candidacy and you'll see what I mean.
In many cases the only factors that differentiate these super rich individuals from your average bankers or financial analysts were the wealth & opportunity they were born into, and/or large slices of good fortune.
Ooooooh you're so getting sued by Drumpf
Just threatened to be sued.
