Man United & Man City amongst seven clubs in secret talks with FIFA

[cleavers]

Already there are 4 competitions. Add another one to that and it's overkill.

Actually there are five, but we've never managed to qualify for the fifth one yet. Its being held this year in the UAE (as it was last year).

This is surely about replacing this with a new competition, the last proposals were for 24 teams, but every 4 years instead of every year to replace the confederations cup.

I get a sense of frying pans and fires with this idea.
I don’t trust FIFA to be any different from UEFA when it comes to corruption (see World Cup venues).

At least FIFA will tske money from snyone.

I would rather see us compete in the CL than play some unheard teams in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Egypt etc.

It will just extend the competition as the teams from Europe are the champions league, without them it will be a third rate competition. All the top teams we will still compete with.

I think the Champions League and Europa League are obsolete as formats.

I like it. This is what happens when UEFA stick it to the likes of us.

Exactly! They have regally pissed us off since we had the audacity to qualify and seriously underestimated us, just like the premier league did.

Depends who's putting the money up though doesn't it. When you pay the piper, you can call the tune.

I'm not sure i'm comfortable with this to be honest.

I'm as comfortable with this as I am with any other tournament hijacked and manipulated by a self-serving cartel of clubs.

well, I don't see what really changes when we'll just get done by refs in the semis and final of this new competition against the rags and real.
