Genie Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Quote Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will step down from his role at the end of 2021. It comes amid widespread criticism of the proposed European Super League (ESL), with Manchester United one of six Premier League clubs to have initially signed up to the plan. United's rivals Manchester City withdrew from the ESL on Tuesday and Chelsea are also planning to do so. Woodward, 49, had been in the role since 2012. He was set to leave at the end of the year but the decision to announce his departure has been brought forward. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56824130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted April 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2021 BBC are on form: Chelsea are playing a game of football by the way. It's against Brighton. It's not in the European Super League. It's in the Premier League. You know, the one we all watch. There's no crossing of borders needed. The match is 90 minutes long and not shortened to appease those who prefer clips.

I’ve just read the prior page as well. Long and short of it. Clubs who have previously performed well in the CL - but don't qualify through domestic league placings - will be offered a place in the CL (up to 4 clubs) The fine tuning doesn't matter - that or something close to is what is being implemented.....

The additional four slots available in 2024/25 will be allocated according to three different criteria: Slot one: awarded to a club from the country placed fifth in UEFA’s national association coefficient rankings. Each association's coefficient is based on the results of its clubs’ performances in five previous Champions League and Europa League seasons. Slot two: awarded to the domestic league champion with the highest club coefficient among all other domestic champions that have not automatically qualified for the Champions League’s league stage. Slots three and four: awarded to the two clubs with the highest club coefficients that have not qualified automatically for the Champions League’s league stage, but have qualified either for the Champions League qualification phase or the Europa League/the Europa Conference League (due to start in the 2021/22 season). New Format For Champions League Slot one: not directly attributed to a club Slot two: none big leagues spot basically...so like Romanian league if they had the highest coefficient in a particular year Slot three and four: you still have qualify for the CL phase or Europa. So you still have to qualify. So yes the final two slots are based on your previous efforts in the CL but you still have to qualify in the previous season for CL phase or Europa Doesnt affect those qualifying normally @hippo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Huge point and financial penalties now. Now now now. This week. Right now, their own fans wouldn't even complain. By the summer, they'll be back on side and the next time they come for all the money their own fans will be with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
