Its IS a ticket for domestically unsuccessful teams though..........
They call it the Champions League........... but it aint :|
When Liverpool won their 4 European Cups it was just champions of their
countries.
They have devalued the competion anyway by letting 2nd 3rd & 4th place
teams enter............
So why not let the winners enter also............ Which I believe they did
anyway when it was the European Cup :|
they did that when it was just champions cup
and yes they did devalue it by letting 2nd and 3rd and 4th place teams compete
but it is like that so answer me this
if a 4th placed everton has earned the right to play in champions leauge qualifiers then is it right for 5th place team to take their place just caue they won the competition?
the fact that in the leauge they showed nothing that would give them higher priority musnt be overlooked
true liverpool's players were tired
true liverpool had major injury problems
true with all those problems liverpool still managed to get to cl finals
BUT ALSO
true everton earned more points
true everton did more in epl to deserve that spot
its cruel but thats life
and one more thing
do you honestly think that if liverpool win it uefa will just sit back and look at FA keep the CL winners from competing in the CL next year
i mean honestly what's more efficiant financially everton or champions leauge winners
and they cant give england one more spot
cause if they did that would mean one spot less for some other nation
nation that already has unexistant chances of coming throug to the group stage of cl
one spot less for champions of nations like azebajdan, bosnia, slovenia, croatia and many many more nations who's clubs due to financial situations can only dream of reaching group stages of cl
so when i look at all that than i say YES its fair not to allow liverpool to play in cl next year even if they win it
and yes its unfair to let everton, manchester united, arsenal, schalke, inter, milan , real........and all those 2nd 3rd and 4th placed clubs compete in the CHAMPIONS leauge when they arent CHAMPIONS
but since the money rules everything you probably wont see the fair thing happening and if liverpool win the cl i would bet everything i had that they will compete in cl next year
after all fair play is dead
football isnt a game....hasnt been for a long time. we got the english most of all to thank for that. england premiership was the place where the big money really started rolling
other leauges took it from them
and now you've got football incorporated
where football is sold and not played
thats life
