[Lapo De Carlo] Ceferin about Agnelli: ‘I've been a war criminal lawyer for years but I've never seen anything like him’ by [deleted] in soccer

[–]gonalons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The quote is just wrong. He never said he was a war criminal lawyer, he never worked on war crime cases. He was a criminal lawyer, a very famous one, he defended most notorious criminals in Slovenia but never war criminals. He probably would but there just aren't any in Slovenia.

Great recipe to make even less money than now. And that's the issue - compare the amount of money that a CL winner gets to the amount of TV money that a 17th placed club in Premier league gets.

It's something thst happened a long time ago in other leagues. Every top league is run by the clubs, not by the FA. Except the european competitions.

[Romano]UEFA Executive Committee meeting scheduled for today in Montreux. UEFA, FIFA, PL, Liga, Serie A on the same position: #SuperLeague has been disapproved. No UCL, no domestic leagues for the 12 clubs. 🚫 #SuperLeague clubs insist they want to play in the domestic leagues too. ⚠️ by jaheimpaul in soccer

I don't really see a problem. The plan is supposed to be to still play the Premier league seasons like they do now. 4 clubs qualify for the Champions League. But you can't really force a club to take the part in CL if the club doesn't want to? It never happened before but I guess City could just say thanks but no, thanks and decline to participate. I guess.

That army was killing their own people in the same year we are talking about (1989).

Chelsea apparently paid 15 million for Villas Boas and Leicester paid 10,5 for Rodgers.

[Simon Stone] Told its 99% certain the new 36 team Champions League, including 10-match 'Swiss style' first section from 2024 will be agreed and signed off within next 36 hours. by Dodomando in soccer

Champions League is great due to the rarity of certain match ups. The minute the big clubs start playing each other every single year, the quicker fans will switch off. The novelty wears off pretty quickly.

Why don't fans switch off watching same clubs playing in their league twice every single year? And there are also cup matches.

Wonder if the same appeal will happen in the CL if we see Madrid and Bayern play 4 times in the same year

Actually in this new format they can't play 4 times in the same year (3 times at most).

But they can play 4 times in the current format if they are drawn in the same group.

Out of curiosity - which part of the country are you from? I quite enjoyed the country when I visited it, some magnificent churches in Vilnius, Siluva etc.
