This new European league seem to be being put together with a lot of American influence. These are people who cannot understand the concept of relegation, something that has pained me but is a fact of life in the football pyramid we all love.
A significant backer of LUFC is American whose team, SF 49ers finished bottom of their league with a 37% win percentage. Of course they will go again next season in the same league. I know Andrea is against the new league, but I have concerns about what may be happening in the background.

Don't worry - we're not invited anyway.

There lies the $64,000 question IF we were invited would you continue to support the team, give them you’re hard earned cash sign up to their new tv packages?
I’ll start, I could not in all honesty take the poison shilling, I know Radz has said he does not support, but easy to criticise these so called top teams if the golden carrot does not apply.
Would be a deal breaker for me, love of the club I have extends from its roots and the legends that have gone before.
As Bielsa has been quoted as saying the most beautiful part of this game (Football) is that the Poor can compete against and beat the Richâ€
These owners are the very antithesis of all that is wrong with modern football and if i’m considered a dinosaur or stuck in my ways them so be it rather watch our pub team than support this disgusting project.

Radzs is a business man first and foremost, given the opportunity I would think he would get on-board with this league. Personally I hope it dies a death and doesn't see the light of day!

Agree Alf, on the face of it LUFC haven't been invited. But as I said we don't know what is happening in the background. We have a lot of American money with the promise of more to come, however the money is to enable us to get to be one of the top six. Well the top six have scarpered. Would you look to take your money out or go chasing the dream and look for an invite with the promise of a brand new shiney west stand with a 50k+ capacity. Either way I don't like it.
