This is the most appropiate thread for this, which was posted by Celtic Fan Dimitri on AVillaFan today {28/01/2016}.
Thread title : The games well & truly fucked!!!
Dimitri :
football is rigged if this is allowed to happen,ffs yer chelsea's n man utds bore the tits of me,souless & dull, id rather watch a CL match with the likes of teams from serbia,greece,austria & poland n the likes anyday teams with atmosphere & passion
The Sun - Manchester United, AC Milan and Co plan Champions League cartel to end dreams of smaller clubs like Leicester
My reply :
Totally agree with you, Dimitri.
A European League is not a new idea, I have mentioned on AVF before that Doug Ellis wrote about AVFC competing in a Euro League in the 'News & Record', way back in the 1970s.
Now we know that there is resentment in Scotland against Rangers and Celtic due to the disparity between us and the other teams, but that disparity is historic and is and always has been based on Fan support. So long as the Fans continue to support their Clubs in vast numbers, this disparity will continue because it is genuine and not reliant on TV money.
However, the cartel scheme mentioned in the article is just an attempt by teams that are currently at the top in England, Italy, Spain, Germany, etc., mainly due to financial doping, to retain their supremacy in perpetuity. They hope to insulate themselves from competition and cream off the bulk of the TV money too, by promoting their 'brands'.
I wonder how many 'customers' they will attract to watch these same brands 'competing' with each other, year in, year out ?
