Yeah, it's very disappointing, ain't itMakes for interesting if potentially worrying reading.
Enjoy the Premier League while it lasts - it's about to change forever
Only way this will happen is if all six teams are gifted a place by UEFA. And why not from UEFA's pov? They want the big, competitive, rich teams who guarentee increased sponsorship and tv revenue. That revenue then gets owned by UEFA.
The Premier League therefore dies and the CL is king. Shame for football. Especially if you are not one of tje big six. After loads of clubs have gone bust it could become interesting again though the big CL teams will sign all the best players,
Of course they are. But once, after a shot year, AC Milan proposed that wild cards should be issued to all previous winners who hadn't qualified. This list includes, of course, forest, villa and Steaua Bucharest.Anything based on 'European Pedigree' makes me feel sick.
It puts selection in the head of the money men and we should all oppose it.
They ain't talking about Forest here, they are talking about saving United or Liverpool when they have shit seasons.
Personally I only ever want qualification to be based on merit. Forest aren't entitled to benefit now from something they achieved in the 70s. Neither is any other club from an arbitrary period of time.Of course they are.

Of course, we don't want the likes of two times winners Nottingham Forest getting money that could go the likes of PSG, do we?
I completely agree. My point is, if they are going to use "European Pedigree" as a selection criteria, there are clubs with greater european pedigree than PSG, Citeh, us, Woolwich, that wont be considered for our new champions league utopia cos moneyPersonally I only ever want qualification to be based on merit.
