True.

The format needs changing now i think.
3rd and 4th place teams should not be in there

but thats how teams will be able to compete in the future, by getting a slice of the money, since thats what football has become about.

A lot of these teams, even from the bigger leagues don't enjoy the kinds of revenue the english teams get from TV rights and so forth.

Oh and by the way paul, the top 2 scottish teams have always faired ok in Europe.:;

champions only.... not runners up...

why should runners up be there....

champions are champions, not runners' up...

you only say that because you assume man utd will be 1st or 2nd.....

[Numeric]

it gives the runner-up a consolation prize which i think is fair...

[digitalboy]

well then they need to pump more cash in the UEFA cup, because the gulf of class was all too apparent.

But i'll stick by my guns and say this might be better in the long run

Lets take Copehagen for instance, if you can get yourself in the goup stages you can get yourself some money and build on it.

statistically the safest bet in any sporting event anywhere in the world.

four nil to United against Dynamo Kiev tonight, good result, Sir Alex made a lot of changes, Fletch, Carrick, Simpson and Nani did well and Pique scored which was nice...

i just hope we don't field weakened teams in the next two games and end up qualifying second as has been the case in seasons past...

no...

how about... ferrari being 1st or 2nd in the world is a safer bet...

or federer being 1st or 2nd far more safer...

or phil taylor....

there are many many sports....

so i hope you were not being serious....!!!


and yeah, if it is a champions league, then only the champions should qualify ..... not runners up because they lost and are winners of nothing.....again, you only want runners up in there because you hope man utd would be either 1 or 2.... so dont be a hypocrite.... it's either a champions league or it isnt...

it wont happen.... money is the issue and it will continue as it is...

And Platini wants to reduce the number of teams from England, Spain etc and replace them with extra whipping boys........wtf

[Microdot]

here's a crazy idea.
how about we have a tournament that you only qualify for if you win your domestic league.
we could call it "The European Champions Cup".
then, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th placed teams could all go into a tournament called the UEFA Cup.
now, here's the clever bit. we could start a new competition thats jsut for teams who have won their major domestic cup. it could be called the European Cup Winners Cup..........genius!

oh, hang on a minute.....

[Numeric]

the Champions League should be for the champions and runners up only, the rest can play in the UEFA Cup...

[Numeric]

And Platini wants to reduce the number of teams from England, Spain etc and replace them with extra whipping boys........wtf

Platini is a cock, was a great player though...
