The Champions League already exists, don't see why they need to do this.
The 20 consecutive years of consistent qualification and reaching the knockout stages is largely responsible for the good coefficient the PL has. It's good we might personally benefit during our darkest hours.
How this will be played? How you replace CL with this? How are we ranked ahead of manutd Liverpool Chelsea

It’s because the bigger clubs don’t see the value in playing Dinamo Zagreb or Olympiakos.
They want those big money match ups guaranteed every midweek. I have always had a conspiracy that UEFA fixes draws for Clasico semis or finals but it just hasn’t happened yet apart from 2011.
The TV audiences for those mega clashes are through the roof. Saw some crazy stat that the Messi - Ronaldo game the other week was one of the most watched games of all time.
For me it’s pretty much the death blow to all leagues outside of the big 5. A lot of huge clubs like Celtic and PSV who’ve won the European Cup will be little more than academy sides after this.
Seems very arbitrary the teams who are included. If it was done 15 years ago you get Newcastle, Leeds and Valencia instead of Man City, Sp*rs and Atletico.
@El DuderinoI’m probably going to be done with the game by the time this is done
5th and 6 place in England is top 15 in Europe, so the quality would improve.They need to stop rewarding mediocrity, the CL already has enough jobbers in group stages as it is.
