China's richest man plans to launch a rival to the Champions League that will make Europe's top clubs even richer

China is very clever, it's taking over the whole world

U 61 and have 20 billion give it to people on needs ,

Good. A non-UEFA affiliated league means participating players could be banned from UEFA and FIFA tournaments. England would even have chance of winning as most of world's best players could prevented from playing. Then again, Iceland would have an even better chance.

The beginning of the end as football splits into rival super leagues & associations as boxing did.

Always about money all the time. Try telling that to the aspirational kid down at their local park.... Grass roots that's where investment is needed, get the kids fit, away from their play stations...running around not sitting watching already overpaid pre madonnas chasing a ball!

No club can ignore its fan base. Similarly the minor European football powers will not accept second-class status. Fans demand domestic competition and a Champions League that represents all of Europe. Who's to say that a small club from a minor country can't do a Leicester and light up the tournament. The current set-up works well and the only reason to change this is the pursuit of profit. These profits are likely to remain imaginary if fans are restricted to watching clubs from an elite group of leagues. It it ain't broke, don't fix it.

He got rich like the russian Oligarchs. Because he knew the right people

No thanks. Stick to ping pong.

I just want to sell a few investment deals

Thought the pound is still more than the dollar. The amount he invest in the uk.

What is he caption about Disney about? Another cut and paste article by lazy journos?

How much longer are the fans going to put up with this farce called football and how much are they prepared to pay to watch a match???????

Oi Wang....NO !!!

I hope the FA tells him FO

Competition for Fifa...... how interesting.

This is the direction football has been going for a long time.....it won't be long before its disappeared round the U Bend. A once great sport laid low and made unwatchable by modern day values.

Not much scope for co-rr-uption there then

hopefully the UEFA cant sell their soul to this guy

This will be so wrong! We will have teams like AC Milan who believe they have an entitlement to be in Europe's top competition with out actually achieving anything! An utter joke league with no completion to qualify or get relegated from!

Hey GuysLook on the bright side. If Leicester has started giving a pint and a bag of crisps to fans in the stadium......Maybe we can start to get a pint and a takeaway Chinese en route home....For FreeHaha
