Champions League / UEFA Cup revamped from 2009

Big teams from big leagues increase the ratings and the TV rights so they generate more money for the CL/UEFA. I don't see why they shouldn't get more back.

Is the money really divided unevenly based on what league a team comes from? If so then that is wrong, regardless of who's responsible for bringing in the money. Should be even split and the rest performance relataed.

The thing is though you wont have a CL without teams from the smaller leagues. Which is exactly the same argument small teams make in Serie A.

Why? What's wonrg with this?

You're good on the pitch you get trophies.
You bring money in, you get money back.

It's basically rewarding teams that have bigger fanbase. For once the fans are taken into consideration and you guys want to reverse that???

Going back to the old format, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Roma, Milan, LAzio, Barca, Valencia, Sevilla and another 5 or 6 good quality sides (better than FC BATE anyway) would not be in the competition, I guess that would make it a tad easier.

Not for "Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Roma, Milan, Lazio, Barca, Valencia, Sevilla and another 5 or 6 good quality sides".

I don't see how you haven't quite grasped that point yet.

It's easier to qualify for these teams but harder to win for every team since the level of the competition is higher.

Yep based on the league. IMO one of the few thing that's wrong with the CL atm.
