compo 7,030 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Plumped for the United match last night they didn't play well but got the result right at the end not a patch on Tuesday's game between PSG and city with city unlucky to come away without a point at least . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The CL is increasingly just a closed circulation of the same +/-20 core clubs sharing and exchanging the same pool of managers and 500 or so players, with occasional additions to replace those who leave to spend their millions away from the cameras. The chances of Rangers ever breaking back into that elite clubs seem more and more remote. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,751 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Watched Athletico Madrid V Liverpool last night. Thought the Spanish team were a disgrace tbh. Crowding the ref after every decision and doing everything to get Liverpool players booked. Horrible to watch. Glad Liverpool won (my 2nd team). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was merely an observation that what you were describing were some of the main features of the ESL, i.e. protectionism in a closed shop. So in effect, with a minor adjustment each year for the odd new participant, the conditions of the ESL are already met, except those clubs wanting an even bigger slice of the pie.

Sorry, that was the point I was making. In terms of exclusivity the CL and ESL are essentially the same thing, distinguished only by the subtlety of de facto versus de jure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
