General Football Nonsense

[Xhaka Can’t]

Good point. Beat this new bullshit by using the Rule of 672. Everyone pile into one house. And, as an added bonus, you'll get immunity to the "plague" I have a sneaky suspicion, based on science, data and the evidence of my own two eyes, nobody will die.

You are underestimating how lethal boredom can be.

[Niall_Quinn]

WITH boredom, not OF.

Big shake up planned.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's more likely to go back to 22 teams with clubs desperate for income I'd have thought.

[Niall_Quinn]

Liverpool and Utd can be two of the teams that get kicked out then. Sounds good.

[Niall_Quinn]

It really is disgusting how much greed drives football. Everyone shafted so these greedy clubs stuffed with greedy players who can't kick a ball get to keep their snouts stuffed in the cash piles. We have a "champions" league where the majority of teams are the losers, not the champions. And they want to expand it with even more losers? How is that a champions league? Should be called a losers league.

We will be the eternal holders

The one idea I like from it is the 3rd last team joins the play-off against the 3-5th place team in the league below.

I don’t mind that either and I’ve always been in favour of scrapping the League Cup too. I’d rather the Community Shield stay but if that goes then so be it. I mean it’s a huge power play from the big clubs but we’d be part of the in-crowd, so I can’t say I’m that bothered really, morality in football disappeared a long time ago for me.

Sounds like lower league clubs would be taken care of financially so it seems fairly reasonable but in essence it’s probably a glorified bung for compliance.

Find it hard to believe this will even get off the ground though given it needs the backing of some clubs who won’t benefit from it.

[Mac76]

yeah the League Cup is a complete waste of time for the PL clubs - they ought to just play for it in the lower leagues

i'm not sure why scrapping the Community Shield is necessary - it's just one game - although as it comes before the start of the PL season i guess it can be disruptive for the clubs involved

and the original plan for the PL was 18 teams but there were too many clubs from the 22 First Division clubs that were worried about missing the cut for them to get it through
