O/T A 'Relegation' Champions League

[Smoky McPot]

Trying to keep my mind off Saturday and was wondering about the general quality of the top leagues across Europe. How about all the the teams from the major leagues (Premiership, La Liga etc) who were relegated come together in a Champions League format. What country would come out on top? Would difference between the leagues be dramatic?

Just a thought...

Villa would still be shit.

 

[StonehamPark]

No comprende.

 

[brightn'ove]

English teams would absolutely batter the others. (Except Villa)

Good grief. If what the OP suggested happened, that looks like one of the most boring dull-fest footy tournaments EVER.

I thought that honour went to the Europa League?

 

[studio150]

What would it be called. The Losers League, The Channel 5 (we know nothing about football) League, The Reward for being Rubbish last Season League or something else

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Cool. Imagine getting to a cup final after being relegated.....just doesn't happen does it?

 

[spongy]

So would they play it over the close season a-la pre season Emirates Cup or would happen over the course of the following season?

 

[Raskolnikov]

To be fair though, I imagine Freiburg would probably do okay

 

[MattBackHome]

Betis would smash that.
