But that right there is the problem Pac. UEFA are s’hit scared of the big boys taking the huff and buggering off and doing their own thing so they pander to them and their leagues and do everything possible to protect them - hence all this coefficient / seeding boll’ocks - to the absolute detriment of everyone else.Originally Posted by Pacman1903
What it needs are all the leagues outside the “big 4” to grow a set, stand up to them and demand more equitable treatment.
Until then it will be just like the league here with the many grateful to live off the scraps from the few....
Worst thing is sh’ite like Burnley won’t even want to be in it. They’ll be far more interested in trying to finish 10th in the guffball league instead of 11th as they’ll doubtless make more money that way.
As someone else said, they aren’t interested in the likes of us and don’t want us at their party. Games a bogey min.

Nice, thanks
No it got the better of me in the end. It's been sitting in the corner of our workshop gathering dust ever since. Petrol running out the air filter was the last straw for me. Cheap Chinese sh*te.

Absolutely

That`s a pity. ( Think they`re Korean b.t.w. ) It can`t be much wrong. Got to be a simple enough fix.
I`ll see if I can fit it in when I get around to doing Aldo`s Lawnmower then, eh ?

Probably not, seems he's banned.
He might phoenix under a new name (and with new personality) as some others seem to have done.

He may already be walking amongst us

An alternative would be for UEFA to look at solving the problem themselves. Create their own super-league with all the (arab-money) rich teams in it and tax them heavily with the money being put into the domestic associations. That would increase competition in the domestic leagues and we'd have the pleasure of seeing the cheeks getting humped week after week.
The Highland League is a case in point. It hasn't really suffered much from Caley, Thistle, Peterhead, Elgin (spit spit), Ross County have all left and the league has been fairly competitive.
Tax the big teams and get some money back into grassroots or the game will eventually die.

Good in theory but the big clubs would never go for that.
Altruism isn’t on their radar in any way, shape or form.
Why would they pay “tax” to have a super league? They’d just set it up themselves if it came to that.
Meanwhile we and the other small leagues get shafted and our leagues are also shafted competition wise due to the ridiculous money distribution to the likes of the tims.
All that and UEFA competitions are now also entirely pointless to watch until the quarter finals too as most games are a waste of time total mismatch before then - see the Tims in Europe as an (admittedly hilarious) example.
Well done UEFA - top work lads 👏👏👏.

The only leverage UEFA/FIFA would have would be with the players. If you are playing outside the official system then you can't play in the World Cup.
If that didn't work and they did just beggar off ... so be it. Let the big teams go. Re-introduce real competition. In Scotland we could have 2 leagues of 20 playing each other twice. No cheeks to sway how the league is set up. Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Killie, Dundeh and Dundeh United, Partick, ICT, Pars, Raith, Wendies, Well, Hamilton (mibbi), St Mirren, Ayr, Livvy, Falkirk. Split gate money 50/50 and create the world's first Scottish Soviet Soccer System.
Power to the people.

It's complete fantasy I know, but would be brilliant, imagine life without the cheeks? You could have semi-finals at decent venues, different stadiums around the country each season, (anywhere but glesga). Cup finals at some Edinburgh stadium.
