Wow. That is very ambitious
Where is this quote from?
lets hope he gets sacked before then,hairbrained scheme
Did he not big up the Europa League as a 'fantastic, prestigous competition' or something along those lines a few months ago?
And Liverpool still won't qualify...
How much would it cost to get to the!!back of beyond!!

the Europa League doesn't interest most teams, and doesn't generate much money. So I guess if they put all the teams in the CL they can generate more.
Would have to be knockout followed by league format follows by more knockout! The Europa league would easily get its gloss back if they shortened the fixtures, didn't make it start so early and have the winner gain entry to next seasons champions league.
I think he's missing the point that what makes the Champions League so prestigious is that it's full of top teams. If you add a load of also rans, it'll weaken the richness of the competition. This is so idiotic it's scary that people that high up consider this as an option.
even though in real life it'd be a hassle for clubs/pros I think for the fans it'd be quite the adventure, and if it wasn't heavily seeded would make it harder for bigger teams to retain the cup, and players wouldn't have to pick CL clubs over Europa clubs anymore
would be amazing for player rotation on football manager too
more games for UEFA to sell rights to = more cash for UEFA
I like how the admins just wummed liverpool by not including them in this multiboard haha
I have enough rotation with the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup, Charity Shield, Super Cup every year and the World Club Cup every two years...
Let's just put every team in Europe in the Champions League.
The Stigs student cousin returns! (U8124)
I think if lets say they have a champions league tier 2 trophy it will be good so lets say teams who qualify from lets say the 2nd group stage will all be left to play for the main trophy however lets say the teams who didn't make it out the groups can play each other for a mini uefa type trophy.
He's a complete m0ng.
How does he get to squat in his position for year after year?
