Wisel I fear that the answer to plea will be "only when the money men stop running the game" Both UEFA & FIFA bow to the mighty buck bringing in meaningless stages in cup competitions - What on earth is the group stage of the UEFA cup about if it's not about generating money? I completely understand how you feel (I feel the same) but I just wonder why football has become so far removed from the likes of us whereas Rugby League & Rugby Union manage to stay in touch with the fans despite the changes they've made. |

The Uefa cup is the biggest joke going. Why they had to devalue it by making it into a mockery with early departees from the CL coming in is beyond me. Bring back the European cup, the Uefa Cup and the cup winners cup. My favorite was the cup winners cup because it had teams that were good in cup run type comps. |

Agreed "The Champions League" is a complete misnomer it should be called "The Champions and those teams that will bring in the most TV & Advertising Money League" Why else have teams as far down as 4th? - Simple it's so the rich clubs get their annual boost of Euro money - and where ultimately does that money come from? The likes of you and me, in fact even non-football fans pay because the inflated advertising budgets of the sponsors suck money out of everyones pockets. UEFA Cup with CL drop outs - Talk about milking a cash cow till it drops - attanedances for some of those group games are pathetic. Lets get back to a European Cup that's a knockout from the first round a UEFA Cup and as you say a Cup Winners Cup. |
