Cable Forum - Football Season 2014/15

I think the cost of loaning Falcao for a season was in the region of £20M so I guess he'd be staying put.

Imagine if he got injured. It would be like leasing a Bugatti Veyron for a year then smashing it into a tree on the way to the chippie.

I'd be very surprised if they let him go off without having someone lined up. Depending on what you believe about his wages, it's likely to have freed up around £16 million towards a package for whoever replaces him.

Absolutely, even more so if your club has no other European football to concentrate on and has just been knocked out of the tin pot cup 4-0 by a team leagues beneath them, then you really can just knock yourself out with the criticism and making fun.

Thanks, I'll remember you said that ;)

I agree. And financial fair play won't make it any better either. If you ain't already in or near it, you never will be.

About time they changed it. Pot A should only be for League champions, those who got through automatically but not champions Pot B, those who qualified in one round Pot C and the rest Pot D.

IMHO the Champions League should exactly that, the individual champions and no one else.

As much as that sounds right, tv revenue won't allow it. If they want to get some modicum of respect back, start making sensible decisions, for instance, as said above, pot 1 for actually champions etc etc
