      I assume the only teams left will be the teams with American owners and Real Madrid and Barca ;D

      I wonder if we will back down: the Americans clearly see it as a game changer for them.

      Instead of Man City and Chelsea I wonder if LA Galaxy and clubs from Japan and China will make up the numbers. More of a world super league.

      Strategic game playing by clubs to force UEFA's hand over the champs league reforms

      Said it on page 1 of the thread absolutely obvious to anyone with the timings that it came out

      That was always the game plan so what changes have UEFA made or concessions

      I imagine it'll be the restructuring of the group phase and a few concessions, which we'll find out over the coming week.

      In some ways I hope it has forced UEFA to go back to the group stage format and then whilst a PR disaster it’s potentially worth it

      Not a chance this will have strengthened their grip not loosened it they will take the flak it will die down just like project whatever the F**k it was and they will cream the increase however which whey they come

      So we ruin our reputation and will no doubt be whacked every week by dodgy refereeing decisions from now on...
      All to call uefas bluff on champions league format and finances....
      Yet next season we will be lucky to be in Europa league.

      I don’t think Shankly would be turning in his grave at this. More just scratching his head thinking ‘What The F*ck’.

      I'm not so sure. Fan base being strong as it is I think it's doable.

      What a pathetic bs from those breakaways. I hope for them it was just a probe move or they are dumber than I thought. Ok, back to rotten UEFA where not one single thing is different - wait ok, you gotta "earn it", but not really when u have financial nuclear power like those top teams. City will continue to cheat FFP, we will have a 100 Mio. $ disadvantage, Leeds and Brighton even more, but City will get the honors eventually and nobody asks. In 30 years City will be PL record holder - a team out of nowhere that some sheikh decided to pump money in to make it relevant. At least Jürgen is safe again, he won't leave.

      Half decent protest going on at Stamford Bridge today (I needed to drink bleach to say something complimentary about their supporters) trying to block the buses from arriving.

      Surely our fan base can muster something soon? Let's not wait till Saturday.

      Knew it wasn't worth hyperventilating over.

      Media and UEFA have the power. Clubs don't.

      Club's dont even have power over their own players. They simply aren't a normal business.

      I've backed FSG for the most part believing they were running the club responsibly.

      But Henry and co. can go F**k themselves politely after their crude attempt to sell the soul of our club to the highest bidder.

      cu*ts.

      If they do which I doubt who do you think will afford to buy them ?
