To be honest I heard something about this on the radio Thursday night but did not take to much notice and then this morning the papers had headlines screaming about world league and big clubs breaking away yawn....let them do it...like the champions league it will be boring......let chelski/manure/citeh/gooners other so called giants from across Europe leave there leagues......I wont watch it why should I as its only west ham that concerns me and every supporter from every other club in the leagues here and in Europe would probably agree the club you support is whats important in your life and those clubs fans who breakaway will soon get pissed off at not playing there traditional rivals... say Liverpool get called into it and that's the end of the Merseyside derby well the money men may not care because they have Madrid juventus benfica to promote so the fans will have to just get used to it!......football is not and never should be all about money but people who only care about that will soon see that sterile atmosphere in grounds where playing big clubs from across Europe is fun but it cannot and never will beat put one over your local rivals...who cares if you beat Barcelona or whoever you wont be going into work the next morning with the chance to dig out your colleagues over the result or the fear of knowing that you are going to get ribbed about getting beat it will take the fun out of it and these faceless people who are trying to create something just don't get that....I hope this world league does not happen but if it did I for one would be happy that we would not be involved..
Can't see it happening
Tbh mate, I can't see it ever happening. Like you say, there'd be less derbies and less bragging rights and I probably wouldn't watch it either. I forget about European games on the TV already.
