    The extra revenue will give an unfair advatnage in competing EUFA organised tournaments. EUFA should kick them out of the Champions League.

    I doubt this will ever come to be... it is all aimed at twisting the arm of the governing bodies on revenue allocations from existing competitions.

    Plus this would be a big thing for about one season... if going to play Barcelona becomes an everyday/scheduled league match it really loses the magic fast.

    Agree, I think the chance of it happening is very low.

    Moot point. The Super League tournament will supersede UCL.

    May as well throw the dice and ban them from the real Champions League.

    A lot of ink, legal maneuvers, and passionate outbursts yet to come . . .

    I think the nuclear option is on the table for all the established leagues and sanctioning bodies.
