novaalra Posted July 10 #4 Posted July 10 I don't think bringing it back is a great move. The whole concept just feels like a way for the rich clubs to lock in their status and cut off the chance for smaller teams to ever dream of rising up.
umbraioesse Posted July 10 #5 Posted July 10 they sohuld just fix the financial rules so clubs cant spend 200m every window
ivoryyx Posted July 11 #7 Posted July 11 If they really want to fix the calendar they should just cap the number of international breaks instead of adding another competition, players are dropping like flies already.
kyrtha Posted July 11 #9 Posted July 11 Real Madrid vs Bayern every other week would print money and I'm all for it tbh
Woondra Posted July 11 #10 Posted July 11 They could use the Super League cash to fund a proper insurance and pension pot for playes in lower divisions, that would change the conversation a bit.
Wickkani1 Posted July 11 #11 Posted July 11 Proper relegation and promotion slots built into the Super League would make it actually worth watching instead of a closed shop cash grab. I would put money on the first big upset in the knockout stages blowing up every sportsbook if they ever launch this thing for real.
onyxast23 Posted July 11 #12 Posted July 11 But do you think the fans would actually stay loyal if it juust became a travelling circus every week or would the local matchday vibe die out completely?
selenena Posted July 12 #14 Posted July 12 Went to a Europa final once, half the stadium were neutral suits.
Ivoryosast Posted July 12 #15 Posted July 12 Would genuinely love to see how the betting odds move for a Juventus vs Man City group stage game, the liquidity would be insane and probably wreck the bookies eary pricing models
yxanelle04 Posted July 12 #16 Posted July 12 Its still just a tv product, always has been. The suits would carve up the revenue and eventually hand the fans a worse deal than what they complain about now
Emberanen Posted July 13 #18 Posted July 13 Do you think the smaller clubs could actually negotiate a fair cut of the tv money or would the big teams just swallow it all
muhEcUS Posted July 14 #19 Posted July 14 I'm on the fence but leaning towards bring it back, I kinda miss the chaos of those midweek elite clashes. At leasst it gave us a break from the same predictable domestic league results every weekend.
tOMEYa3 Posted July 14 #20 Posted July 14 The scramble to price up a Real Madrid vs PSG knockout tie would make the bookies squirm, imagine the liability if they botcch the draw odds.
