ACF Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...ope&cc=3436 Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is plotting a football revolution in Europe after calling for the continent's biggest clubs to create a new "Super League". Perez, who returned for a second stint as president of the Spanish giants last month, has embarked on a multi-million spending spree over the past few weeks, signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema as part of his plan to assemble a new generation of galacticos. The 62-year-old is now casting his net even wider in his bid to alter the face of European football, and has criticised UEFA's handling of the Champions League, indicating that the format of the competition does not benefit the biggest clubs. "We have to agree a new European Super League which guarantees that the best always play the best - something that does not happen in the Champions League," Perez told Spanish television. Perez added, however, that he hoped his proposed format could be implemented "without abandoning the national leagues".

Jon the Hat Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 THIS is the sort of thing that could damage football. No team which plays in a closed league of "super clubs" should be able to play in a domestic league.
BlueSi13 Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 Surely this sort of thing would destroy the clubs actually taking part in the tournament? surely the fans would reject this proposal with their arses if necessary and refuse to turn up for the games? Well the ones from this country would surely!?......if not good riddance i say!....balance will be restored one day when the money flushes itself out, the game and the fans were here BEFORE the money, always remember that
Father Ted Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 He is single-handedly ruining the world of football. Tosser.
Fosse Boy Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 He is single-handedly ruining the world of football. Tosser. No he's not, there are plenty of twats running football worldwide at the moment.
Shrenchel Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 He is single-handedly ruining the world of football. Tosser. Is he fook. The people that have created and maintained this system are the ones that should be fooked in every orifice. He's just exploiting it to his advantage. I don't see how he is any worse than any of the foreign owners in the prem. I don't like the club and I dont like then geezer but he's a local boy using money from local businesses to fund a team. Surely that's better than some Russian or Arab using cash he's raped from oil to buy anyone he likes for an English tram. I'm sure Roman etc would agree with this in a heartbeat if they thought it was a viable prospect that would make them some cash, it's not, won't happen for many, many, many years, if ever.
Ultra Posted 5 July 2009 Posted 5 July 2009 No he's not, there are plenty of twats running football worldwide at the moment. Indeed - including Abramovich, Al-Makhtoun and the rest of Europe's sugar daddies..
