Holy crapFor the lols View media item 1942267
If it's the same league that was discussed a few months ago I believe they're talking about a 3rd UEFA-esque league below the Europa League. If it's done we can finally answer the question of can Celta Vigo or Stuttgart win a cold and rainy day at Stoketf is going on with this euro super league I'm reading about? Is it really happening?

AC Milan Loses $100 Million And Is In Dire Need Of Investment
Things have gone from bad to worse for AC Milan. The Rossoneri lost $100 million during the 2014-15 season, or a quarter of the combined $398 million lost by the 20 Serie A teams, it was reported yesterday.
For AC Milan, controlled by Silvio Berlusconi, last year’s huge loss paints a particularly dire picture. The team ended 2014 with a net loss of $102 million, so with a second consecutive season of $100 million losses, over the last 11 years (2005-2015) the club has accumulated net losses of $504 million. The Rossoneri badly need an infusion of cash for a new stadium and to fund a competitive team.
But for AC Milan fans the prospects are not good, despite Berlusconi’s recent statement that guarantee his team will be in the Champions League final within five years.
To begin with, there will be no Champions League money for AC Milan this year, and probably not next year, given the team is currently in sixth place, despite the fact that this season the Rossoneri are paying $113 million in salaries, the third- highest Serie A payroll behind Juventus and Roma.
Now AC Milan’s financial problems may have Italy’s former Prime Minister looking to sell the furniture. Striker Luiz Adriano is reportedly for sale. Meanwhile, to quell its supporter’s fears that its most promising players are on their way out, the Rossoneri has had to publicly disclaim it is interesting in dumping striker Carlos Bacca, whom English powerhouse Chelsea is interested in obtaining, and AC Milan general manager Adriano Galliani recently ruled out the sale of 17-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, amid reports of interest from Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool.
But how will AC Milan field a competitive team?
Berlusconi’s sale of roughly half of AC Milan to Thai financier BeeBee Taechaubol was suppose to give the soccer team, “deep pockets” but turned into a debacle. Now Berlusconi is pursuing Chinese investors. But with so much time wasted dealing with Taechaubol, Berlusconi is now dealing from a position of weakness, meaning the value of the team is falling.
True, Italy’s new television deal begins this season. But the money from the television rights will only add about $10 million to AC Milan’s ledger this season. When compared with what the other European top league’s are getting from their new television deals the cash coming into the Rossoneri is a pittance. And even that small increase in television money may prove illusory as prosecutors in Milan opened a probe last year into allegations of rigged bidding process for those TV rights.
It is increasingly looking to me like Berlusconi may have to sell all of AC Milan rather than a non-controlling stake, for the Rossoneri to become a Champions League final team.
The fact that AC Milan had to sell their team bus was just sad.
Agreed this is why we all need City to win the Champions League. Dat varietyTo be honest, I miss the days of the Champions League when teams like Inter, AC Milan, Liverpool, Marseille, Lyon and Man Utd were forces to be reckoned with. Now it's the same three teams just dominating everyone else. It's why I was heavily rooting for Juve to win the CL last season, I want some variety at the top of Europe
