European Superleague

[Goring Gull]

Is it about time the Champions league was scarapped and a Euro super league implemented with a 1st and second teir 16 teams in each 4 from England , spain , germany and Italy then a seconf tier of other clubs from other nations.

The premiership has now become a closed shop outside the Big 4.

At the end of each euro season the bottom side from each nation could be ejected to be replaced by the side finishing top in that countries premiership.

Get a bit of intrest back in the premiership

No.

 

[surrey jim]

make away games a bit costly for Man united and Chelsea's super fans

would cut down on travelling for most utd fans, gatwick and heathrow are on their doorsteps

And where will the money go?

Leave the Premiership, and go to this "league"

 

[1066gull]

Salary caps.


Reduce salaries to about £25,000 - £50,000 at the most, and players will think twice about moving to another club.

euro super league is a horrible idea, but can see it happening as the big clubs have forgotton about fans and it is now about maximizing profits like any other business.

If it does happen can see after about 5-10 years people getting bored with it and once the tv people stop paying for it the clubs having to crawl back to there respective leagues.

Go back to a non seeded champions only knock out European Cup and put domestic football first.Stop the top clubs from drowning in Euros whilst the rest of the teams survive on next to bugger all.

Euro Super league??!

Italians are bent.

Germans are shit.

Spanish are cheats.

Bring back the European Cup, UEFA Cup & Cup Winners Cup.

90% of Champions league games are shit.

Who watches UEFA cup games on C5 between Hurdy Gurdy FC & Wop La Plaza?

What is the Inter-Nobo cup?

Why 4 teams each from England Spain Germany and Italy what about the rest of Europe who would argue that their top teams should be considered. i.e France Belgium Sweden even Scotland.

IMHO opinion they would do better to revert to winners of each domestic league join European Cup and have a knock out. Reinstate the Cup Winners Cup. The EUFA cup for the next 4 teams in each domestic league. 6 teams taking part in Europe and all play knock out competition 1 leg plus replay if needed.

However, this will not happen unless TV want it.

I agree totally with what Eddie says, I rarely bother to watch any Champions league games on the telly, the majority are totally unattractive from a spectator point of view. Go back to the days of the European Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup, they were far more exciting. Euro Super League, no thanks, would just mean more money flowing upwards than we have at present...let's reverse the flow a bit. Don't get me started on letting those who are knocked out early in the Champs League having a place in the UEFA Cup...I mean, would we say, oh, you are knocked out of the FA Cup, have a go at the league cup instead...I don't think so.

I agree with all of that.

If Michel Platini becomes UEFA President we may take a step towards more interesting and fairer European competition. http://football.guardian.co.uk/championsleague200607/story/0,,1979684,00.html
