Blimey. Jugoslavia returns in sporting form.

Would this replace the current domestic leagues?

It's not completely clear to me at this point, although I think it's supposed to be an additional league, considering how these teams hardly have any kind of role in European competitions.

A lot of people are against it for security and nationalistic reasons, personally I'd love to see it if they could handle those issues, I think it would bring a new level of competitiveness to these participating clubs that are now just stagnating in their **** domestic leagues.

It'd take Pogba a day to pay off our Mortgage (Blackpool house prices FTW!).

It would take Ozil about 7.5 days to pay off my mortgage!

Same.

Supposedly getting £600k p/w for a two year deal - more than Messi or Ronaldo.........

Looking at some names in that list football is in a dire state if they can crack the top 100 for the year.

They have been quiet in the transfer market lately. Wouldn't be surprised to see them spend big in January and the next Summer.

There is no way a they don't go all out for a striker to replace Ibra espcially considering Cavani will be the wrong side of 30 next season, on top of spending big for Draxler and the fact that they probably need another CB.

How can you not realise that you're on to a bad idea before starting to put it into practice.

Why is their party in a bedsit?

Surely someone must have told him?

Tranmere Rovers striker James Norwood has apologised after he painted himself black for a Christmas party and posted a photograph on social media.

Norwood, 26, later deleted the post, which anti-racism charity Kick It Out told The Lying **** Rag was "well-intended" but "ill-thought out and out-of-date".

Rovers have since put their squad on a Professional Footballers' Association Equality and Diversity workshop.

"The Kick It Out response was balanced and fair," Tranmere's statement said.

"It was an error of judgement rather than an intention to be racist or cause offence and James has apologised for his actions."

Norwood added: "I would like to apologise for any offence I have caused, it was certainly not intentional."

Carlos Tevez's putative £32m-a-year Shanghai deal will make him not just the world's best paid footballer but best paid team sportsmen ever.
