Re: CL reform for the 2018-2021 cycle

Do you realise that one UEFA needs the top 5 leagues more than the top 5 leagues needs UEFA ? There is no top 5 league; UEFA has top 4 leagues and reality only have top 3 leagues. Check the TV rights from the different countries in CL. UEFA needs nothing since 52 member COUNTRIES benefit and only a...

Re: CL reform for the 2018-2021 cycle

Do you realise that the TV rights in BPL is higher than the TV rights in CL right ? Yes, that's why I stated that. :confused: In reality, BPL only have a few viewers compared to CL, both on TV as combined in stadiums. Still, BPL indeed is crazy strong and thus don't need Super League, just like Bun...

Re: Super Leagues Idea

Since who has the most money is becoming the most relevant factor of what a top club is, what do clubs like Celtic do? In the future the gap is only going to get larger unless they try something different....surely. Tv money and uefa prize money are the 2 driving forces behind the gap. Subsequently...

Re: CL reform for the 2018-2021 cycle

The top 4 has so much spots for one single reason : they have won every single CL since Porto in 2004. Every single finalist was from a top 4 country since Porto - Monaco in 2004. And with this notables exception, we need to go to 1996 to find Ajax. 20 years. The top 4 profited the most from Bosman...

Fans in stadiums.

Then, suddenly but in reality, Portuguese teams look a bit pale compared to Celtic.

Re: Turkish Football Season 2017/18

Some more In 2015-2016 the loss was €56 million.... Nuff said. Failing FFP with such numbers and not being mentioned in Uefa update means only 1 thing: exclusion + new FFP agreement untill 2021. And €3.8 million for this Dutch player? This is a joke. He most have become really good playing in medioc...

Re: Turkish Football Season 2017/18

What is happening at Karabukspor? Romanian papers (because there are a lot of Romanian players, 5-6) said the owner taked the money and went away from the club. The players received only 1 salary from August until now. Interesting things are happening lately in the league, I am tempted to post a re...

I don’t understand why Bert hasn’t kicked him out yet. :dontknow: He is a degenerate that spends most of his time writing nonsense about Portugal, hundreds of posts that he edits even over a year later! :oops: And when he doesn’t get enough attention with that, sometimes he temporarily changes his ...

The EuroLeague in Basketball under ULEB is the league with the best teams. The Championsleague in Basketball runs under FIBA with mostl...

Re: CL reform for the 2018-2021 cycle

But the national FA's have said the clubs would be expelled if they join a pirate/private superleague. In my eyes though, the question is can the big clubs live without the FA's and UEFA? Who needs each other the most, the big clubs or the FA's? They tried in basket. The clubs won. They thought abo...

Re: Super Leagues Idea

Only the regional government of Lazio can take a decision (on large construction projects), which it did on 5 December for the first time . The decisions to which you refer were taken by the city council which is not empowered to authorise projects of this scope. The city council supports this proj...

Re: French Football 2017-18

Kongolo's competitors must me real good! Unbelievable such talented player hardly plays in Monaco. Sounds like Jardim didn't think he was better than Jorge, not exactly one of Monaco's better players this season, and he wasn't going to dislodge Glik or Jemerson. I hear Monaco are pushing Kongolo ou...

Duketown, you sais yourself why he doesn't play more......he comes back from injury...... . Now, realize that playing in Monaco is a quite different challenge than in Feyenoord...idem concerning both leagues and the opponents. Now 23 is still young and Emery seems to give him his chances..... Yes, ...
