We shouldn't be surprised that UEFA have come up with this.....criminal if it actually happens...

"In the recently published 61-page document, which details some of the uncertainties the organisation faces, the FA confirms that under new proposals, which could come into force by 2024, the initial 32-team Champions League would be chosen based on a club’s domestic rankings of the previous four seasons, currently from 2020/21-2023/24.

Beyond that, however, clubs would only qualify for the Champions League by reaching the last four of the newly-formatted 32-team Europa League, or “winning a domestic league”, the report says."

  • How three-tier format would work
    • The Champions League would comprise of 32 teams and would initially be selected based on club domestic rankings in the previous four seasons (2020/21-2023/24)
    • Beyond the first season, it would only be possible to enter by reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League or winning a domestic league
    • The maxiumum country cap of five clubs remains
    • The Europa League would comprise of 32 teams and would also be seleced based on domestic rankings from the previous four seasons
    • Beyond the first season, it would only be possible to enter the Europa League by reaching the semi-finals of the new Europa Conference League or qualifying via domestic league position
    • The new Europa Conference League would comprise 64 teams and would be selected based on domestic league position
 
Won’t this destroy the premier league ?

It would mean if you have not qualified for the Champions league regularly for the last few seasons you won’t qualify again for at least 5 years no matter where you finish.

where is the incentive for teams to compete ? This just looks like another step towards a break away league for the ‘sky 6’ and will turm football into a farce.

it certainly is there to protect a select few clubs like Man Utd, the scum, Chelsea etc

I'd love that break away league to happen, all the European Sky darlings form their own league and the domestic league would be exciting again

if there is a super league then it would relegate what’s left to an after thought. Loads of clubs who rely on tv revenue would go to the wall without it.

this would be a disaster and only reason for this is to protect the few clubs that have a global fan base
 
Im praying that the day comes the top 5/6 bugger off and leave the rest of us to it.
But you know one day before too long they'd come crawling back and the FA would bend over backwards to get them back in the domestic league.

Honestly though, how on earth does a European league work? Are they expecting fans to board a flight every other weekend to watch their team play? Good luck if you have a family and/or aren't absolutely loaded.

Still, I agree with you: get it done ASAP if it's an option. Better without the media darlings.
 
Domestic competition and rivalry is much more emotive/interesting than European competition will ever be. Champions league viewership has been in decline for years, but they’re intent on doubling down on it anyway - good luck and good riddance to them.
 

Hopefully they all bugger off into their own super league. The Premier League is predictable enough without protecting and ensuring all those teams get the most money

Haven’t watched the champions league for years and definitely won’t if they do that
