It's about time they renamed what is essentially a European super league
That's indicative of;
a. How favourable the CL is now for the top leagues
b. How poor the Dutch sides were in Europe generally over the previous 5 years.
He should be more worried about keeping his best players to ensure last season was not a fluke.
Teams in the big leagues are higher profile and bring in the big sponsorship £'s for Uefa.
Money driven.

That shouldn't matter, I always thought that the champions of those leagues would always qualify for the knockout stages. Why the hell is it called the CL if a title winning team can't automatically get into the competition??

Let us know when you get there
If we'd ended up finishing in the 4th spot, we would qualify for the CL whereas the semi finalists from this season would have to play an extra game to get into the competition as well.
And Ajax have already had a better record than us in the CL over the last six years. It's a mockery of the competition.

I'm not arguing that. But if your league is behind Russia in the coefficients then that speaks volumes about their performances in the previous 5 years.

Probably the only time i'll agree with this mug, UEFA are a joke
The Champions League itself is a joke. It's massively rigged in favour of the biggest teams in the biggest money leagues.
It doesn't have the same integrity or value as the old European Cup for me.
He is 100%right.
Kash is 100% wrong.

Is it? The old European Cup style would be far easier for the biggest teams in the biggest money leagues to win.

It doesnt but we do get some amazing games to watch and the knock out stages really are very good in the main.
It's not always been this way for Holland but their cooefficient points are poor Im guessing. It is rigged though as it means bigger find it easier to qualify and visa versa.
Getting rid of 4th having to qualify is a bit daft. So is dropping into the europa imo.
Shiittee happens. Deal with it 👍

Tell that to the Ajax supporters. Imagine winning your own league and still not of sufficient requirement to participate in the competition
As champions of Scotland (I know) wrhwvr 4 qualifying rounds, we understand we're not gonna win it or qualify but a renaming of the tourney at least is needed, 4 qualies seems a bit harsh?

But that’s because they and the rest of the Dutch league have been shiiiiiit in Europe for decades.
Ajax are only complaining about this because they got to the semis. Haven’t heard a peep out of them for years regarding this.
It’s all down to coefficient points.
It’s shocking but not surprising( it’s the rich leagues cup. Any resemblance to the european cup has long been greedily stamped out
It should be:
League winners automatic group stage everyone else:qualifiers.
