Changes

The UEFA Europa League winners will automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage (currently they can potentially take part in a play-off round).
The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The full details of the access list for both competitions will be finalised by the end of the year.
A new system for the club coefficients: clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association's coefficient).
Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles)
Financial distribution to clubs will be increased significantly for both competitions.
A new four-pillar financial distribution system (starting fee, performance in the competition, individual club coefficient and market pool) will see sporting performances better rewarded, while market pool share will decrease.

Thoughts? I think it's fine. Top 4 leagues should be represented, enough with the playoff nonsense for the big clubs.

It's bullshit.

Complete load of bollocks.

Uefa need to ask themselves "is this in the best interests of every team we govern", if the answer is no, which it clearly is, then it shouldn't be allowed.

Fatcats wanting to stay fat.

Football has become a business and not a sport. Turning into fucking handegg ffs.

This

complete shite, i am suprised/shocked clubs and players are accepting this

Big get it easier, small get it harder. Unbelievable.

That's what she said

clubs are the ones pushing for this, it's the UEFA that should not be accepting the situation and caving in to their demands... their job is to do what's best for all the leagues, not the top 4 ones...

This. The "big" clubs said start giving us more love or we go make the super league.

If they are going to do this might aswell sell off champions league spots to the highest bidder. Just so the little guys know where they stand.
