Monchengladbach (h) game moved to Budapest

Watching the Fulham game on Bein Sports. At HT Ruud Gullit revealed to Keys and Grey, that UEFA had been consulting with ex players about improving the Champions League. On the Zoom call were Gullit, Luis Figo and David James amongst others. He couldn't reveal the changes expected to be made but he said it wasn't fair Holland didn't have 4 qualifiers same as Italy and Spain

He could only reveal that there would be less meaningless games and it would head off a Super League.

I wouldn't expect it to be champions only but the only way to make it more competitive/ have more meaningful games is to reduce the number of teams

They are adding more teams and more group games. 2 team who fail to qualify through the league themselves get in as wildcards aswell. Shite.

Are the football authorities really trying to piss off supporters?

If it goes ahead I doubt if I will bother watching European matches again. It may well bugger up the domestic game as well if the League Cup goes and the League fixtures get mangled.

This comes out the same day as the Scottish Professional Football League are considering allowing Celtic and Sevco to put B teams in the lower divisions.

The whole thing will end up with a USA-style franchise system.
