eejay the dj 31,964 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 On 18/04/2019 at 13:01, ricksen_da_best said: celtic could be guaranteed a Champions League Group Stage place every year under new proposals that would grant wild card entries for clubs with 'great historical importance to football.' The current format for Europe's top club competition is set to change and a variety of new formats have been proposed. The top four teams will qualify for the knock-out phase, the bottom club would be 'relegated' and the remainder going into the Europa League. Matches could also be played on some weekends. But crucially, the proposal includes granting wild cards to clubs of historical importance in European football. That would mean celtic - the first British club to win the European Cup in 1967 - would be granted a spot in the new format.

Allowing them automatic access based on something they did 52 years ago is just jaw-droppingly absurd for anything calling itself a sporting competition.

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Absolute disgrace if this goes through. Teams should qualify on merit from the season before not because of something they did over half a century ago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that the format was all the champions went into an all in draw, no seeding straight knock out for the first round. The surviving teams then formed the group stages. Suppose it could be viewed as a play off but I'm sure UEFA called it first round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
