Would love to have a group packed with some big names for our return. We want the big names 100%, we maybe want to avoid uber tough group though so we at least get 3rd and then get ourselves to Dublin next May Imagine how amazing the sweats going to be for the draw, so excited for that. This was the pots for this year: - POT 1: Real Madrid (Spain), Manchester City (England), Bayern Munich (Germany), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Milan (Italy), Porto (Portugal), Ajax (Netherlands) and Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany). - POT 2: Barcelona (Spain), Liverpool (England), Atletico Madrid (Spain), Sevilla (Spain), Chelsea (England), Tottenham (England), Juventus (Italy) and RB Leipzig (Germany). - POT 3: Borussia Dortmund (Germany), RB Salzburg (Austria), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Inter (Italy), Napoli (Italy), Benfica (Portugal), Sporting CP (Portugal) and Bayer Leverkusen (Germany). - POT 4: Marseille (France), Brugge (Belgium), Celtic (Scotland), Viktoria Plzen (Czech Republic), Maccabi Haifa (Israel), Rangers (Scotland), FC Copenhagen (Denmark) and Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia). I hope we get one huge club which is basically guaranteed and get 3 different countries to visit. SO CLOSE LADS, SO CLOSE! WE GOT THIS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Else you may well have two losing semi finalists playing for a place in the conference league which neither of them want. Will never happen anyway like.

The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I like Liverpool the place and the people tbh. I like a lot of what Liverpool FC stand for. But I dislike Klopp and the team. Based on this season I would love for them to fall short. But I typically dislike Man Utd more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We definitely need to invalidate the actual league table by introducing a play off. Let’s just not bother and hand the top 4 places to the so called big 6 and not bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference, Premier League will only have 4 clubs this season maximum Only way we would have gotten a 5th is if the CL winners finished outside the top 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, okay, fair enough but I'd have to double check but I'm sure the performance is based on all European competition, so we'd just need English clubs to do reasonably well in CL as well as Europa League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 My idea goes sort of the other way, and will never happen, and is ruined by the fact man city win the league every year anyway, but i think champions league should be just for the champions really. Maaaybe allow cup winning teams in to. Knock out only. Brutal tournament of just the best of the best teams. Then Europa league takes the next 4 slots in table, and conferance league next 3 or something so plenty of european footy for teams of all sorts, but champions league is very exclusive. Never going to happen, and yes rather rubbish in current state where the number of teams that will realistically win the title is very narrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all but one of last 5 seasons (and in that one it was insanely close), EPL would get 5 spots based on the new system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
