He just follows teams with shit load of £££

No and no. 4 teams is already too much for any league... we'd all benefit in the long run if we helped other leagues develop and build strong teams like in the old days, so denying them the chance to have a greater CL presence isn't good.

Personally I'd have League and Cup winners play the CL, with the strongest leagues (based on coefficients) also getting a spot for their league runnerups. It would also make for a very exciting EL, like in the old days where it was almost as big as the CL.

Also, we really need to get around of Bosman's ruling... it's the main problem here.

Historic merit ? How about gtfo merit ?

Who really wants to see Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester united play anyways ?

Champions League should be the league champions

Tbh i rather see top 4 teams from the Big leagues, Then watching Copenhagen, Malmø and other low lvl teams

That would be bad.,. We would never get to see teams like wolfsburg, leverkusen, or dortmund

I can't help but feel this would greatly benefit Serie A. The Champions League money just keeps increasing and increasing

Having 4 Italian teams again would help these low life teams rise again (slightly)

this
would like something in this kind of format (based on uefa 5-year-ranking)
direct qualification to group stage:
champion of top 15
cup winner of top 8 (league runners up if champ + cup winner are the same)
winner of europa league (if already qualified, spot goes to the highest not-qualified team in the league)

going through two qualification rounds battling out the 8 remaining spots:
champion of 16-24
cup winners of 9-24 (league runners up if champ + cup winner are the same)
runners up of top 4 (or 3rd if runners up already mentioned)
semifinalists of europa league (if already qualified, spot goes to the highest not-qualified team in the league)


this would make it a maximum of 3 team per country from regular qualification (going up to 6-7 under the circumstance that this country had 3-4 semifinalists in europaleague)

Imo all teams should get a chance to play in the champions league (with qualis)

But if i see dundalk vs legia warsaw

And porto vs roma / villareal vs monaco?


Wtf is this?

This precisely why 4 teams is already too much... you're widening the gap between the big leagues and the rest, which have no access to CL money.

Absolutely, I speak with complete bias in hopes that Serie A improves and on it's own, it doesn't seem likely due to the lack of money, lack of intelligence and the CL would go a long way in fixing one part of the problem
