New Champions League format

[cleavers]

Simon Stone so be warned.

Basics...

Increase to 36 teams each team to play 10 games against "teams of varying strengths".

2 legged play off games after that.

Reducing domestic leagues to 18 teams (PL have already said no to this).

2 "wildcard" teams decided on co-efficient.

Another stitch up to help the raggies/barca/Madrid make money and think they are relevant. It is a big no from me.

Becomes a de facto European Super League, especially if certain teams get in regardless! The expanded “co-efficient” BULLSHIT is anti-competitive, living on past glory, nonsense that is so transparent as to be embarrassing.

This is precisely why I hate UEFA and the CL.

Yes, I want City to win every game but to me this competition is of less value than the shit on the bottom of my shoe!

Good luck to Pep, the team, the club and the board but I couldn't care less.

The idea, which has been credited to Ajax chief executive Edwin van der Sar, would lead to radical change to the group phase.
Name sounds familiar... another ex rag wanting to assist now they are becoming more irrelevant

Were they high or pissed when they came up with this nonsense?

So Liverpool can finish 7th and still qualify. Would turn the top 4 race into an absolute joke and seriously devalue the Premier league. No transfers between teams that play in the champions league...it’s an absolute farce of a competition as it is.

We're part of the ECA, so I expect we are involved in whatever is agreed, as are newcastle and villa

Make sure we have the best ones then before it comes in, big summer coming up.
