More journalists are saying Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City will be thrown out of this seasons Champions league. Will the cup be given to PSG if that happens. Won't make much sense as PSG will eventually join a Super League.
Also ManU and Arsenal out of the other yoke.

UEFA very keen to do this, but need to find a rule they can impose! If they do, there is some talk that rather than awarding PSG the trophy, they could re-instate Porto and Dortmund to play a semi, with winner playing PSG.

I wasn't listening with 100% attention, but the Palace chairman on Sky Sports seemed to say that the PSG chair and the UEFA chair are very close, hence PSG not joining the bandits.

Also PSG are tied to Bein Sports. Who have not been included in the party.

The head of UEFA mentioned it this morning. The head of the Danish FA said this evening there's a UEFA meeting on Friday to try and kick them out.

I know but f**k sake were do these guys get off. They are on Sky Sports. A Murdoch owned pay tv channel. Neville never opened his mouth when the Glaziers bought the club. He has a backbone when it suits his agenda.

Birmingham City have already came out and said the club won't be entering this new enterprise.

Ståle Solbakken (Norway Manager):

"In recent years [Juventus] have been knocked out by Lyon, Porto and Ajax in the Champions League. Why the f*ck should they be in such a tournament then? Tottenham and Arsenal are currently, probably not, among the 20-30 best teams in Europe"

When the head of Uefa heard on Saturday that many of the world's most famous football clubs were on the verge of announcing a radical plan to join a breakaway "Super League" that would upend the sport, he knew who to ask. Aleksander Ceferin, president of European football's governing body Uefa, turned to Andrea Agnelli, a scion of the Italian billionaire dynasty that owns Turin-based Juventus, Italy's most dominant football club.  "[Agnelli] said these are only rumours and then he said I'll call you in one hour," Ceferin told a press conference on Monday. "He turned off his phone. The next day, we get the announcement."

So much faux outrage over this from fans. They'll still watch and fork out whatever insane subscription fee is required to do so on DAZN or whatever and they'll still buy season tickets and the stadia will all be full. Until fans actually start voting with their wallets, no meaningful change will ever happen. Look at the state of so many Newcastle fans and prominent Newcastle journalists trying to argue that there's absolutely nothing wrong with MBS buying the club.

Perhaps United fans can buy some green and gold scarves again?

Fans don't want change. They want things to stay the way they are. The model where we can see 3rd tier Leicester City competing in the last 16 of the European Cup within 6 years.

Ffs. Third tier Leicester City who were bought by a Thai billionaire?!

As Leicester and Man City have shown, progress through the ranks has always been possible


Good grief, do people actually believe this pony?! Man City have shown what's possible? To who? Other clubs owned by petrostates?!

So what? They still won the league having come from the 3rd tier. They still qualified for the champions league based on the results of actual football matches played in that season. The nationality or wealth of their deceased owner does not alter the relevance of that.
Fans want to believe that what's happens on the pitch matters. This proposal says that it does not.

Fair play to Milner for being a man in front of the cameras and klopp earlier. Time for the other clubs to step up in the press.
