You can’t know that though! You don’t know that we wouldn’t be kicked out for demanding an equal share! And who are we meant to be answering to in this scenario? If it’s fucking Agnelli I’d 100% be asking for more!!! Jube trying to shaft Inter off the pitch isn’t anything new but this was our deduction to put our balls in Agnellis purse! Imagine us and Milan said no for not getting equal shares despite the two of us combined being better in the CL and, at that point, our owners having the cash.
the German clubs weren’t interested/ couldn’t so yeah we might have had to play some smaller clubs till some of them became the new big clubs of their leagues but I can guarantee you that people would get bored of this fantasy league pretty soon if the financial share was so skewed that only 3 or 4 of the 16 teams ever won.
All that would have been achieved is a new league where we’re one of the bottom clubs that people would just laugh at, and we couldn’t even get relegated to save some pride! Every year getting bent over to take it! How long would you last before you stood up, hands in the hair and went nope I’m out!!!!??
Serie A any day mate. If they had kicked us out for demanding an equal share we’d still have a pretty good league (us, Napoli, Roma and Lazio) and the merda would finally be gone.
Playing against teams like Sevilla, Villarreal, Valencia, Porto, benfica, ajax, psv, Marseille, Lille, Bayern, Dortmund, Celtic etc… doesn’t sound all that bad. The EL would get some real shit clubs and yes the money would be reduced for the CL but all clubs would have to adapt. We would t be able to attract the best of the best players (can barely do that now anyway) but would be able to buy better players than other clubs in the league and to challenge in Europe so it balances out.
I hope this shit never returns while I’m alive. Also, to your point about competing, yes we could for 2/3 years max then the money differences/ disparity would take care of any fucking challenge for as long as we are in it. Imagine if we did win it! We’ve be compared to some team like Leicester and their 15/16 EPL title scenario where we get classed as a true underdog story. How fucking humiliating would that be.
