Has been elected president of Uefa. I hope he keeps his promise and revamps the Champions League. What they should do is only have the champions of each country then put them all into a hat and draw them out just like the FA cup, none of these seeded shit to give the so called bigger teams an easier route through. I don't care if it affects their TV revenues or anything.

Unsurprisingly, two of the first in the queue to criticise Platini's ideas are Ferguson and Wenger. No wonder. As long as European and top-flight domestic football remains as stale as it is, and the clubs managed by these two goons are guaranteed huge incomes every season through near-certain Champions League "qualification", they are bound to sit on their arses and watch their already grossly-overblown reputations soar further. They'd shite themselves if they actually had to manage.

Its cack, I mean whats the point of finishing top when third place gets you there (more or less)

I remeber the days when only the Champions contested the European Cup....and much better it was!!!! :sweet:

Grasshoppers were in every season!!!! :sweet: :grin:

It will never ever revert back to the 'Real' format....it'll cost 3rd placed teams too much money!!!! rage

Remember years ago when the top clubs wanted to breakaway and form a European League and they got kicked into touch....Champions League!!!!

:evil:

They found a way around it!!!! :evil:

Fuck the lot of them!!!! refred

Just a simple gesture of good faith to start with: They took away the Cup Winners Cup didn't they.
So put all the Cup winners automatically into the Champions league (yes even the Welsh Cup winners). At least that wold give some value back to the currently worthless FA Cup.
It would also mean the poor sods who finish third lose their automatic place. Heartbreaking, but necessary! rage

That would be just the thin end of the wedge by the way.

I also like the Mad John hypothesis which I've expressed myself on more than one occasion. The only problem with it is it only includes three English clubs whereas we perhaps need to unload a few more!
