[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 539527, member: 13611"] Just like the English and French clubs want a bigger share of revenue from the tournament, I suspect money is the key behind the Celtic unions' opposition to a third competition. Somebody would have to pay for the new competition since TV companies won't care. If the Celtic unions' portion of TV prizemoney is going to be cut by compromising with the French and English clubs, they sure as hell won't compromise further with tier 2 nations unless it pays them to do so. There was a third competition at one point by the way. The European Shield was a disaster and lasted only 2 or 3 seasons. [/QUOTE]
