And I would prefer the CL to stay the same, this might sound bad but I would rather see the CL have 4 big teams from the big leagues rather then having those 4 teams be from leagues like Russia and so on. Call me selfish but I think that would reuce the quality of the Champions league.
No, I think most would agree, I don't see the point with teams like Maccabi Haifa or whatever they were called being in it. They used to get beaten like the Saudi Arabians always used to in the World Cup, putting more in will just make sure the big teams stay big. At least at the moment we get Champions who are quite often not top of their domestic league, if we take away spots from England, Italy and Spain we will lose this factor.
No offence to anyone here, but I really do dislike Platini and the French domination in World Football!

The teams that won't play the CL will be in the UEFA Cup. I really liked the UEFA Cup in the 90ies, but it became a championship for the boring clubs that didn't make it to the CL. All the Eastern European teams play in the UEFA Cup, and the ones from Western Europe in the CL. That's not good IMO. I want to a more interesting UEFA Cup again!
Completely agree, it used to be interesting, now we get teams like Middlesbrough and Parma contesting it, no offence but that's rubbish!
