All 18 of them :rolleyes: seems a bit odd, assume there were originally 14 and more joined

Anyway a few questions

How are the members decided , money , record , influence ?

and what do folks think , is this good for the game or just to ensure that these clubs get things their own way ?

Are these the worthy clubs or should some not be included and others included (that are not at present) ?




For info , the members are

Ajax
Dortmund
Bayern
Barcelona
Inter
Juventus
Liverpool
Man Utd
AC Milan
Marseille
PSG
Porto
PSV
Real Madrid
Arsenal
Leverkusen
Lyon
Valencia


with the last 4 , I think being the newer members
 
The ones I was more suprised about were PSV and the French clubs , french domestic fottball is very poor (digs big hole prior to playing Auxerre :rolleyes: ) , Arsenal deserve their place IMO
 
Just looked on their website and it says that members are "invited" by the others , there is no automatic right of membership , all sounds like the Masons to me

I'd rather it wasn't , I would like to see this debated on its own merits and hopefully without degenerating into a "my teams better than yours " thread

From the look of it's current composition it seems that the 4 new clubs were added for political reasons to give each of the 5 major nations 3 members in line with what Italy already had although I'd argue that Leverkusen and Lyon don't really deserve to be there.

Sounds a reasonable reason for the increase in numbers, Lyon is a really amazing choice to be a member , I work in Lyon a lot and locals couldn't care less for football , they are all Rugby fans in the southern parts of France
