& that meeting the "top teams" had about automatic qualification - it's being reported in L'Équipe that both could happen - w/e games & the big boys there regardless: Quote:

Quote:
If there are no CL places to fight for, then basically once the top two pull away the domestic season is over. £#%&! assured places. If you're not good enough to qualify via your domestic league (or by winning the CL or EL itself), then you can't be in the CL. |

Can't see the English clubs agreeing to weekend games
From a marketing and economic perspective the Premier League is bigger than the Champions League so not a chance they will £#%&! around with the Premier League schedule to allow weekend European matches That proposed idea is dead in the water Guaranteed places in something I can definitely see coming in as a further move towards a European Super League £#%&!ing depressing isn't it The sooner football eats itself and explodes into a million pieces the better |

straight knock-out tournament midweek wednesday, league format (16 teams) concurrent (2 divisions) with games throughout the calendar, reduce domestic league size to 16, make league cup optional entry...
it will happen. 'assured places' to begin with, with relegation/promotion from season 2 (inc 4 up 4 down between the 2 euro divisions). european cup knock-out comp to involve all domestic champions, the euro league champs, and the reigning euro cup winners, with the winner guaranteed euro league the next season. all domestic champions (not already in the euro league) to have play-offs to get promoted to the euro league, with 4 winners entering euro div 2 each season, replacing bottom 4 - unless one of those has won the euro cup, obviously ;-} |
