    • @cesco1990
      @cesco1990 ปีที่แล้ว

      And he was full of bullshit during that segment. Ofcourse UEFA holds all the cards. He even said around the 40 minute mark that national competitions are where clubs and the UEFA get their most money out of and that is why the UEFA threatened immediately to ban the "SL-clubs" from their respective national competitions and then the smaller teams would get paid more that's why small teams were relying on their fans to riot as much as possible. If I would've been one the owner of those 12 SL-teams I would have called his bluff and let people watch Champions League finals like Cadiz - Toulouse.
      The interest of the people would wane very quickly, I'm sure. 📃

    What I found interesting is that Gary seemed to be trying to get him to commit to sorting out multi-club ownership and do so in a way that prevents owners having multiple clubs but actually, Ceferin seemed to be taking the view that any rule changes were probably going to be in favour of multi-club-ownership rather than against it.

    Ceferin just announced that UEFA is considering allowing clubs with the same owners to participate in the Champions League. So you could have Manchester City + all of the satellite clubs bought by City Football Group, or Manchester United + PSG if Qatar takes over the former. But then he has the cheek to talk about "sharks", even though he is just another one of them alongside Infantino and the Super League promoters.
