I think that`ll be career suicide.
People keep on about a european league but when it comes down to it I don`t think it`ll ever happen.
Attendences will plummit , can you really see 10,000 plus fans travelling to Spain one week , Germany another week , Sweden another week for a whole season.Sure the TV audience will be there but it won`t hide the lifeless half empty stadiums
Also , I don`t know about you but I would rather see games like Man Utd vs Man City , or Man Utd v Blackburn or Newcastle or West Ham , games with tradition & history rather than watch games against teams like Werder Breman or Locomotive Moscow.
Personally the reason I enjoy watching the champions league is because you don`t get match ups like Man Utd vs Real Madrid or Liverpool V Barcelona that often so when they do they`re an event.
I think it`s a horrible horrible idea that`ll kill off all whats good about football.
But on the other hand , Celtic & Rangers in the Premier League gets a thumbs up from me
