City will probably get 8 2nd division teams, somehow.





Season after next boys, come on ffs. Starting doom for next season before this one is even done is a bit much..

Well, the joke’s on you because I just hadn’t read the post properly

Looks shit!

So basically 8 friendlies. Then knockout stages. Cool

How long before the final round of the group is being played in LA and Bejing

So in theory, a team could lose 12 out of 17 games in a competition, and still winn it!? Thats £#%&!ing shit

No.

Can’t find one redeeming feature.

Wtf is this? I have no interest in this tournament, what a shambles, talk about signing your own death warrant UEFA. Has this been developed by a 9 year old? This will no doubts hasten the initiation of the Super League.

It's a Frankensteinian mess.

144 games to drop just 12 teams. (de facto Super League)
16 games to drop another 8 teams. (Safety net for Legacy Clubs no longer in top 8)
Cup knock-out comp for remaining 16 teams. (Ah, the magic of the European Cup.)
