    Might be on my own here,but i dont want this.....WE NEED to be in europe this season,my personal opinion is that this is another way for the board to make the money up in the shortfall of not qualfying yet again....

    Play the big boys in a european tournament...not getting papped out and playing them in friendlies

    Unless the first time is there for the first game then fly back for the qualifiers leaving the development team for the other 2 games? With the Euros and Copa America I can't see there being many big names playing anyway.

    Maybe it's more of a cunning plan to tap up Drinkwater and Vardy.:50:

    Great to be part of this glamour competition and good news for our supporters across the pond I must say.

    Personally I believe this will affect our CL hopes also 2 months into the season our players will be running on empty

    Very interesting idea. Can't say I've seen a pre-season tournament like this before.

    Could be a very decent first 3 games for Moyes. :fear:

    Guessing the Leicester game could be the first game with the standing section in place?

    Honestly, had my hopes up about them coming to America. Bit of a let down but I understand why they don't come here with the schedule being the way it is...

    Ok, makes more sense now. Should be good!

    Leicester v Barca in Stockholm? Random

    Edit: Champions Cup :smiley-laughing002:

    Win win for us - staying in with prestigious company, no doubt picking up a nice wee packet and not having to endure trips to America at a crucial time in our season.

    Used to be a standard thing that we always played a home game in pre season against one of the top English sides, quite disappointing that has stopped being the case for a good few seasons now so it's would be great if Leicester do indeed win it so we get to the play the English Champions, I'm sure loads of them would come up as well for that.
