Northern News Services You see, the big clubs don't like it when the little clubs come about that. UEFA runs the biggest and richest club tournament Remember last week's column when I decided to have a go in and take away their stranglehold on what they think should in soccer and there is no way it wants FIFA to do the go-around at Project Big Picture and how much of a scam it would turn be there. You know some teams still aren't over Portuguese side and take its piece. Also, it would be a usurping of sorts because out to be had it been implemented?

Those little clubs take away from the big boys having all and that's the entire world. FIFA should have no business in It's become public knowledge that Manchester United and the fun and we can't have that, can we? Screw those underdogs domestic – or even continental – competitions. Liverpool have been in talks to join a "super and their illusions of grandeur.

If not, don't say I didn't tell United. If we are to believe FIFA have given its blessing to this you so. The proposed competition would start in 2022, according projected tournament, you can bet UEFA would scream loudly All hail the elite! to the report, with games happening during the European club competition schedules, namely the Champions League and Eur- opa League. JP Morgan is reportedly willing to stump up the money to get this whole thing going and it will be debt finan- cing; money will be paid back through pay-per-view broadcast income. Honestly, do these teams not understand how bad this looks? They've already been nailed to the board once and obviously, they haven't read the room. Project Big Picture was oh-so-well received and if you think this will go over well, you're sadly mistaken. The report stated that Spanish side Real Madrid are one of the clubs driving the car on this and I'm not shocked at all. Real Madrid is a club which is a licence to print money and it has millions of fans around the globe, several of whom probably couldn't find Madrid on a map – much the same as Manchester United has millions of fans in that same boat – so if it can find a way to nestle into another few hundred million bucks worth, why not, eh? So in short, this would all but kill the Champions League in its current form. No one will watch a European club competi- tion without the best teams in it and the sponsors will simply go elsewhere. This could lend to the idea of UEFA, which oper- ates the Champions League, not being on board with the idea fully. The Champions League format is in place until 2024 and if UEFA decides to throw its hat into the ring, you can bet there will be dozens of very angry teams from smaller countries that will rattle a sabre or six. 16 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 26, 2020 kNKukNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 26, 2020 kNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 26 , 2020 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 26, 2020 17 18 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 26, 2020 kNKukNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 26, 2020
