New Champions League format

There's something going on behind the scenes, gundogan, pep and klopp have all brought this up in the last couple of days, if this new format is allowed then the league cup and fa Cup will suffer, teams will just play weakened teams in
Top footballers need far less games, not more.

The amount of football needs addressing and quickly, we will have serious player burnout, yet again this summer , the top players will not be getting any time off. Crazy situation especially after this contracted season.
 
This new format was dreamt up to counter fears of the breakaway. Now thats blown up and UEFA strengthened there is no reason why they might not be more open to talks on this new format, the managers and players probably feel they are in a stronger position within the game too after the last week. The blood letting could have its benefits yet.
 
I hope so. Honestly, even the league will suffer, unless you've got an extraordinary squad.
And all these stupid international friendlies and pointless FIFA competitions. Personally, I don't watch so much as one minute of them.
There would be plenty of space in the calendar if international friendlies were scrapped and the volume of qualifiers drastically reduced to the levels they used to be at. We have four international breaks and no winter break. This is madness. International football was much stronger 50 years ago when there were less games. The standard of international football has plummeted while club football has improved at the highest level.
 
So greed and all the rest to one side...

As a fan, there's already too much football. I can watch football from around the world almost every day of the week, and there's games I don't watch as my girlfriend isn't going to tolerate me sticking any more on outside of City stuff. I can watch City twice a week, the premier league 3 or 4 times a weekend + my SC. I don't keep up with TV shows I'd like to see or other sports I enjoy, and football already encroaches into other hobbies or social events or leisure. It's just football as content.
