Davkaus Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think at the very least I'd want, in the UK, the 50%+1 rule to be enshrined in law, and additionally perhaps a ban from UEFA competitions for a year or two for attempting to undermine the CL, even if they lost their nerve and didn't go through with it. I think we'll see sweet **** all, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several sources were interpreting it as reserved slots for elite clubs. I think we are all nervous about what these people do and I’m far from convinced myself. I can only read what they given me but it wouldn’t surprise me on anything. I think what gives me comfort are these kind of people are so greedy they are obvious. The ESL went too far. The CL, like Klopp said, they’ve made more games to make their money off and that has been their focus and that’s why the “big teams” are peeved off because they wanted security with UEFA and they didn’t give them so this is where the ESL came from.

I’m reading it as if Liverpool finish 8th in the PL, they will get a CL slot anyway due to their co-efficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they qualify for Europa League (below 4th and cup) or Champions League phase (assume 3rd or 4th) and that’s only if they are the highest co-efficient. So they would need to earn a European place via league or cup and then have the highest coefficient in recent seasons. So if it ends up both Munich and Liverpool have bad seasons but claim the lowest level of European qualifying in the prior season, then (although I don’t know the calc on the coefficient) Munich would edge them out for that spot.

Popular Post Chindie Posted April 20, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 Even if this is dead there must be consequences. This cannot be parked for a while to change it's name and get a better marketing position. There has to be meaningful punishment. Just because you bottled it doesn't mean you didn't try. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
