Well said. This has been one of my biggest complaints about the competition. Why should teams who finish 4th in one league be allowed to compete, when some nations only have 1 rep who then need to go through qualifing.SPL schreef: I still refer to it as the European Cup as you cannot call it a champions league when teams are in it who have never been champions, and the big 3 countries are allowed to have their 4th best teams in it.
All UEFA are doing is making the rich teams/leagues richer and giving less chance for the lower clubs to make money. If you are going to let in 4 teams form 3 leagues, you should let 4 teams in from all leagues.
The so called 'top clubs' of the G14 should get their hand of it and realise they are not the only clubs in the world. I am waiting for the announcement that English/Italian/Spanish sides wont need to enter the comp until the 1/4 finals. Oh and Man Utd and Real Madrid wont have to meet until the final etc.
I guess I should stop complaining and be thankful Dutch clubs even get a look in. And I don't want to hear "but their leagues are stronger".
You should only be allowed to enter the competion if you are the CHAMPION of your country.
