[Niall_Quinn]

Can Wenger and the gang, in their shiny new stadium, with their new sponsorship deals and the biggest ticket racket in sport push the boat out and elevate us to the level of Wolfsburg and Benfica? Let's give them more time and see what happens.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolfsburg - Real Madrid
Bayern Munich - Benfica
Barcelona - Atletico Madrid. :popcorn:
PSG - Man City. :lol:

[Kano]

Bayern through - the other three I can't call for sure.

City have been a different animal in the CL this season.

Uefa is considering a major revamp of the Champions League format

Uefa is considering a major revamp of the Champions League, with the group stage potentially cut to 16 teams. The move is being driven by continental clubs’ concern that they are being left behind by huge revenues generated by the Premier League and the revised format may mean so-called lesser teams having a reduced presence in the group phase.

Changing the group stage into what would effectively be two mini super-leagues is being considered by European football’s governing body, according to sources at a major Premier League club. Uefa is expected to announce any changes to their flagship competition next season, before the sale of the next cycle of commercial deals. As the Champions League is in the first term of a three-year rights contract it would be difficult for any change until after the 2017-18 edition.

A Uefa spokesperson told the Guardian: “Uefa is in constant contact with all stakeholders, including the clubs, on all football matters. Therefore, any plans to evolve the format of our club competitions would be coordinated and negotiated together with them. There are currently no concrete proposals on the table since we are at the beginning of a new cycle (2015-18) of our club competitions.”

The transformation of Europe’s blue riband club tournament might also include more knockout rounds before the revamped group phase. If there was one extra round the top-seeded 16 clubs might enter the competition at this point and would not be able to draw each other. The established continental clubs believe this would allow them a better chance of avoiding lesser teams at the group stage, which in an eight-team format would mean 14 matches, played home and away.

An example cited during discussions with Uefa came in 2008-09 when Real Madrid were drawn in a group that included Bate Borisov. The ties between the two sides attracted low viewing figures and there is a firm desire to avoid repeats in the future by having more high-profile games, generating a bigger income.

The Premier League’s record new domestic broadcast deal from next year of £5.14bn – plus an expected further ¤3bn (£2.37bn) from overseas rights – is causing concern. The budgets of all 20 Premier League teams will be greater than most of their overseas counterparts who compete at the top end of their domestic leagues.

Next season, the side relegated bottom from the Premier League will receive £100m, as much as Chelsea received when becoming claiming the title in May. The champions in May 2017 will be rewarded with prize-money of around £150m.

When monies from ticket sales and commercial deals– each worth £15m-£20m – are factored in, then Aston Villa, who are likely to be relegatedbottom this term, would receive a reward of around £140m next season, nearly three times the budget of many continental clubs. La Liga’s Sevilla, for example, operate on around £50m a year. Winning the Champions League offers a reward of £40m-£50m, a third of the prize-money received by next year’s Premier League champions.

The possible move to a larger group format could be seen as a first step towards a European Super League. At the start of the month senior executives from Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, the Premier League’s “big five” met in London to discuss the Champions League with the American tycoon Charlie Stillitano, chairman of Relevent Sports, which organises of the close season International Champions Cup. The clubs were forced to deny there are plans for a breakaway European Super League.

But two days later Stillitano suggested a change to the Champions League might be for it to become a closed shop. “What would Manchester United argue: did we create soccer or did Leicester create [it]?” said Stillitano. “Let’s call it the money pot created by soccer and the fandom around the world. Who has had more of an integral role, Manchester United or Leicester? It’s a wonderful, wonderful story – but you could see it from Manchester United’s point of view, too. It’s the age-old argument: US sports franchises [which do not have relegation] versus what they have in Europe.”

Here comes the first step towards a European League. It will improve the money pot a bit more for the teams on the continent but when the next Premier TV deal is even larger, they'll demand changes so they can claim even more cash.

[Marc Overmars]

The CL is small fry for PL clubs now really. This TV deal is a game changer that has levelled out the playing field.

I imagine what the PL has become is detested on the continent.

I read that earlier. It shows what the greedy pigs are keenly concerned about - advertising. Fewer viewers, less wonga from McDonalds and Coke. They didn't give a second thought to sticking everything behind a pay wall. And now they see that filling their pockets today doesn't mean they'll be able to extort as much in the long run. It's in these areas the fans should be looking to hit Kroenke and his gang.

As big a wankers as Sky are, they get marketing. They know how to sell shit. They know how to present their programmes, the theme tunes, graphics etc. 99.9999% of the people on their shows are dickheads but they get the presentation right and so keep most of the audience engaged.

BT haven't got a clue. They've upped the ante with the dickheadedness of their presenters and 'experts', the music is shit, the graphics a joke and the studio itself just feels flat and morbid without any atmostphere. Then they have Paul frigging Scholes slashing his wrists every week. Not surprised the audiences have turned off.

Marketing is king in the modern age. Get that right and you can sell pretty much anything piece of shit and people will dip into their pockets. If they got that right, then they could really trouble Sky.

:lol:

Simeone sure knows how to organise a team.

Bayern City semi? :popcorn:

Of course leaving the small matter of a Madrid derby.

[Master Splinter]

Barcelona :haha:.

Bunch of horrible cunts out-smarted by slightly less horrible cunts. Even with their immunity to clear red cards, they had nothing. Good riddance.

[Marc Overmars]

WTF Barca? :haha:

Can't believe some people wouldn't want Simeone here, his team are warriors.

The team he has built at Atletico is something special and it's a very young team too. I wouldn't be surprised if they won La Liga and CL, they are certainly good enough.

Simeone's team is very functional but they are a big game team, they deliver time and time again.

Barca :wave:

He's a quality manager, they beat a team that schooled us, tactically he's great, he's a great organiser and motivator too, would love him here, we might actually have a chance of winning something.

:lol:

I'll just leave you to think about that...

Simeone would be the perfect guy for us, he would change the losers mentality we currently have and make us a team to be feared again. His teams are so hard to break down, they rarely make mistakes, they fight tooth and nail and always turn up for the big games, almost an anti Wenger team (over the last few years).

What are we waiting for? Wenger is way past his by date and Simeone is an up and coming manager who has won things both as a player and manager and has consistantly challenged the best ever Barca side as well as a really good Marketing team. Give him Wenger's salary, money to rebuild and Arsenal will once again be great.

Forgot this was happening. But what joy! The barcunts are gone. Beautiful.

Yes Simeone, YES! If you aren't doing anything in the summer can you come over here and fix us up? We have a clapped out old banger that needs replacing pronto.

We're waiting for Wenger to make more money for the crusty old yank. That's the purpose of football surely?
