FIFA and Uefa are corrupt. All their "beautiful game" quotes are complete trash. Them acting like the victim and getting people to rally behind them like they're the force for good sickens me.
This reformed Champions League is a disgrace too. These clubs can still qualify even if they don't finish in a qualifying position and will get paid more money.
Yeah the fans won

Fucking hell. Basically "everybody is being a **** so why shouldn't I?". Get them all out.

That was the guy who was leading the ECA and responsible for looking after the interests of 200 European clubs. And he used his position there to provide cover for his real plans all while pretending to advocate for them until the day he announced his Super League.

I think most people accept their is a gap between quality of teams and that the money gone into the game as closed the shop to a certain degree.

But we shouldn’t be so arrogant to say these clubs don’t matter. What Perez had to say about them was insulting to be honest. It was pure arrogance. Yes his views could be backed up by viewership figures and stats over a longer trend (of what teams achieve) but we should never close the door on sides because of their name or prestige (lack of). Football is still a relatively young sport professionally. Who is to say who will be a big name in a hundred years time. May well be the likes of Leicester or Seville are the big names who won loads of trophies.

You could look at our CL league run to the final. That very opportunity may have been taken away from us if this ESL came in 10 years ago

The script is always being written.
The problem is that Sevilla is a big name and won lots of trophies.
The problem is that there is a limit to expansion and limited money on market. Doors will close soon. But instead of accepting reality we hold to romantic stories of Zagreb.

While I agree FIFA and UEFA aren't the best we could hope for its these top super rich teams that are forcing the changes to the CL, they are assuring they get a place at the top table even if they don't deserve it. UEFA have been over a barrel regards this but now they have the top clubs spanked and sore its time they should reform all European competition and simply say like it or lump it.... I mean what are the clubs going to do, start their own league? (y)

The CL should be for the top 1-2 teams in the leagues, the UEFA cup taken back to what it was and bring back a third tier competition with money distributed accordingly across the 3 competitions.

Premier league should not have same number of cl spots as Bundesliga or La Liga. Just fact from historical, financial or sporting perspective. Premier teams should not play in that other 2 devision at all, its not fair from sport perspective for Dutch or Scandinavia teams.

So, if the new CL system came in next season for example and we finish in the European spot like Europa or Conference, it's highly likely we'd qualify for the CL through the co-efficent as we're 12th, and most of the teams above us would automatically qualify. The only one higher is Arsenal, although no guarantee they'll get any European football next year!

Need to keep the same energy for the new CL format now.

It's in no way good for football that a Club will be gifted a place in the CL just because they have a good history in the tournament.

Its disgusting.

I somewhat agree, although you can see the point of owners who are beseeched by fans to spend more on players in fees and wages each year without any certainty to what their budget will be the following year if they lose that CL money.
