Absolutely. Bring back European Cup, Uefa Cup and Cup Winners Cup the way they were.
Besides Real, AS Milan, Juventus would all be excluded alongside us, Chelsea, Rags and Scousepool if they were really strict about it. Champion's League would lose all interest, which is just fine for me as I think it's bit of a Mickey Mouse competition right now anyway.

I agree absolutely with this. The UEFA Cup was a great competition as was the European Cup. It's THEM who created the unfair balance in football with their shitty boring endless Chump's league & this season, with clubs like us, Spuds, Villa threatening the top 4 here & teams in Russia growing stronger each year with big money backing threatening the dominance of their preferred elite, (especially the corrupt AC Milan, Juventus etc), they're trying to fix it again so it remains the same. It's corruption, pure and simple.
Someone sooner or later is going to challenge these people & if they fuck with us, we could be that challenger. If they kick us out of the Chumps league btw, what will stop the Sheikh setting up a breakaway league by offering all the greedy self interested twats more money than Platini currently gives them?

Nothing, except for the fact that he is unlikely to behave like a spoiled brat...

That's not bad idea actually. I thought changing 1st division to Premier League was silly but calling second division "Championship" was simply retarded. You play in "Championship" where your aim is to win promotion. Of course one team will be champions of....errrr....Championship.

So there'd be no money to be made in such a venture?

Exactly, if the best teams & players are no longer allowed in the competition, fans will lose interest, then the TV networks will lose interest and then there will be no money left in Chumps league and no one will want to qualify anyway. It's all about money regardless what Platini thinks or what genius sanctions he can conjure up, he's pretty much shooting himself in the foot and he doesn't even know it, twat!

Do you actually believe this stuff or are you just posting things to be argumentitive? If running a league with all the World's best clubs in it wouldn't make money, why the fuck are tv companies paying through the nose for football? If running the Abu Dhabi Chapions league wouldn't promote their best interests, what the fuck are they doing bothering with us? Jesus mate don't just talk through your hat in order to promote your own side of a discussion, it's childish, I don't believe for one minute you're genuine with what you've posted there, you're not that dumb.
