Uefa are partially if not all to blame for this anyway when they changed the champs league to having 3/ 4 placed team from “bigger” countries instead of champions to each country and why did they do it for money.

The super elite teams are doing what uefa done but cutting them out that’s the reason they are up in arms about this, don’t think for one min uefa care about the smaller clubs/ nations because they don’t.
They only care about money also.

It was uefa that basically started this super elite carry on with there actions in my opinion.

I don’t know wether it will go ahead this time or not but it will happen eventually.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair UEFA did it because the elite clubs pushed them into it by threatening to create a super league. Just the same as the new plans were forced by the big clubs that have now stuck the middle finger up to it all.}

Thanks for your input Ed but for me uefa are mostly to blame for this, they pandered to them back in the day and keep pandering to them and it’s not worked this time and they are giving it the big one about closed shop. The champs league is basically a closed shop and made harder year on year for the smaller countries to get their clubs in.

Uefa have the cheek to name clubs that they don’t care about and haven’t done for years.

Champs league should be for champions on the league in each country and that’s it.

Some of those champions would add nothing and suffer massive score lines unfortunately but I know what you’re talking about, but, I certainly wouldn’t be watching a group with Barcelona and 3 minnows,

Uefa didn’t create a “ closed shop, they did make it more difficult for some clubs from country such as ours

Rich billionaires are behind this, and they’re not doing it for football fans that’s for sure,

TT that’s what I said they have made it harder and harder for teams like ours to get there and now are using our names to suit there agenda now.


It shouldn’t be group stages either IMO it should be old style knockout like it use to be in the past with champions only.

Cant see it actually happening. Total mess. No wants their club in it. All the associations blocking it. And they only managed to get 12 clubs to sign up to it. That bad they even resorted to including spurs. Its going to back fire horrendously. I'd call their bluff and let them go. They'll be begging to get back within 3 yrs.
