thinking of changing the Champions league and Uefa cup.....looking for fans opinions
http://www.uefa.com/uefa/Survey/index.html
Some scary questions like 'Q4. Do you believe that the domestic champions of all UEFA countries should have the chance to qualify for the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?' What are they thinking of doing?
I think they should throw all the sides that didn't win their National League out of the competition
I said the same in one of my comments.Quote:

To me the champions league should be a competition for domestic champions only. Not teams who came in 2nd third or fourth, regardless of how strong their league isQuote:

Maybe the top 2 in every league in Europe would be better for the smaller teams,like ours in the Eircom League,while still giving it a cup feeling where the underdog can beat the favourite.
No seeding either.A straight knockout,well,maybe a small group first.
Can you imagine how great it would be for the leagues if Barcelona were playing Cork in a Champions league game at Turners.
If they want to include non National Championship winning sides why not include all former winners of the European Cup?
Not a chanceQuote:

suggested a return to a straight knock out.
forgot to suggest banning runners up 3rd/4th place teams from it.
i supported redistributing the wealth away from rich clubs
i suggested promoting fan ownership/takeovers of clubs, banning financially wreckless teams from European competition
suggested bringin back terracing
in fairness, thats not gonna happen, and would hardly benefit anyone... might make it easier for small national winners to get into the competition but it would be pointless if they were going out and getting hammered by european big guns year in year out. i suggested dumping the inter two bob and making the super cup like a small summer tournament,Quote:

i agree that 4th place domestic finishers shouldent be entered, but for the bigger leagues, i think the top three is fair enough.. in almost all sports prizes are awarded for first second and third and i dont see why football should be any different
I like the InterToto. Random small clubs from around Europe that no-one's every heard of (like UCD :)) get an extra chance to play in Europe and it harms no-one.Quote:
