Trevor Powell 2 Posted 15/05/2024 at 13:22:57 No! No! Thrice times No!All about finding more money for the corrupt football associations! How much more do they want to milk from the game for people – not wide boys! Rob Jones 3 Posted 15/05/2024 at 13:48:32 Gianni Infantino's tenure and legacy as Fifa President is and will prove to be more damaging to the organisation and the sport than Sepp Blatter. Which is, frankly, incredible. He has zero regard for players, fans, or climate, with the decisions made under his auspices solely based upon finance. Danny O’Neill 4 Posted 15/05/2024 at 13:48:40 Alongside the "Super League", these powers that be seem obsessed with meddling with the game.If there are any legs in this, I'm sure it will only involve the top clubs from the major European Leagues. No consideration for those who attend regularly. They would have to fork out for a transatlantic flight or a trip to the Middle East. They won't care about the supporters. They'll just be interested in the money.I wonder if these people have actually ever followed football or been to a match other than milking corporate hospitality?Happy to be proven wrong. John Raftery 5 Posted 15/05/2024 at 17:36:36 This seems to me to be another step in FIFA’s long term strategy to gain control of elite club football eventually creating a world club series. Mike Connolly 6 Posted 15/05/2024 at 18:04:37 Danny it wont effect Liverpool fans they have the sky season tickets watch every game on tv regardless where they play Jack Convery 7 Posted 16/05/2024 at 01:13:12 Imagine 3,000 to Bangkok to watch our away game versus Brighton. I hope the Royal Hospital has got the penicillin on standby.Ridiculous idea. Bin it and leave our game (it's not your game!), alone.Andy Burnham for Fifa President. John Pickles 8 Posted 17/05/2024 at 09:35:54 This is nothing new, Liverpool already play all their games outside of Norway! Jerome Shields 9 Posted 21/05/2024 at 16:57:54 Just another attempt to move towards a World Club Football League.For Elite Clubs only.
