In my head, until recently, I thought it was gonna be the likes of us and our old mates Groningen, Rijeka and Kairat getting a decent run out in Europe. But now it is clear it is just another method to ensure all the money stays with the same clubs / leagues. Just about every box in the left column leads to a group stage in either the 2nd or 3rd column. And in the rare event it doesn't they get a play off against someone ranked way below them.

fine-n-dandy Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 It’s a farce & only growing more farcical as time passes. It’s a cup competition & should be treated as such. A regular cup competition that you benefit if you win but don’t get second/third chances for losing. It has ruined the competition for the many but not the few. Link to comment

Yes, but obviously based on the country ranking seedlings. I.e. they want to allow the higher ranked nations (even if not champions) to progress ahead of the champions of lower ranked nations Link to comment

That's why I was loving the super league idea. Totally shake it up as the EPL and Champions League has got so boring. Get all the best players at the best 20 teams. I was also hoping it was going to be the wake up call to uefa and the rest of us to fight for a more fair future. Heyho Link to comment

I watch football but the champions league really has no interest for me at all. I am sure there are many like me in this sense. Quite ironic really as the super bowl is the model that UEFA want to follow. Commercialised shite. Aimed at non fans really as family/social entertainment . cannot remember that last champions league final I watched in all honesty but it’s been a while. champions league is just ‘soccer’ to me.

It's all the weirdos doing weird posts on social media and "ronaldo fan boys" and Nigerian Man U fans who dictate what football fans want now. The folk who dont actually watch football, just play FIFA and watch highlights. And the English folk who still think Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are funny.

Poodler Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 There’s a reason we didn’t win any of those crucial games. No heart, no winners mentality.
