Do UEFA have clean hands? Absolutely not. The moment they started expanding the champions league, they essentially sacrificed its integrity for the money. Now they’re shocked that the big clubs have banded together to create a super league all for the money. feck UEFA, they helped create this mess.
Instead of expanding an already bloated champions league how about reducing it so that it’s only 2 or 3 clubs in the big leagues who qualify, with the rest going to an expanded knockout only UEFA cup. The quality of competition in both would increase and it would put to death the “top 4 trophy.”
Uefa were bullied into expanding the CL mainly by the g14 and English clubs. Lets not forget that, that idea was pushed through by some of the same shitty clubs behind this ESL. They wanted to play top European level without earning it and cover their own asses.
The CL got expanded to accommodate them and their greed, or should Uefa have kept it the same size allowed 4 teams from England and denied the Dutch/Russian leagues their chances.
They thought if there was more spots for them they'd never miss out, but they still conspired to feck things up. Then it was again those clubs who demanded a bigger reformed CL (that they could never miss out on as past winners etc...)
Uefa were again gonna crumble and have CL reform where it again expanded and clubs like United could never miss out because of a ranking bonus based on history. You think shit like that was a Uefa idea?
Uefa are rubbish but make no mistake all changes to the CL were g14 powered bullying.
And it still wasn't enough for them when the World Series of Mega SoccerBall came on the horizon.
