- riffraff 5y agothe thing people seem to have forgotten is that reality _was_ different until 20 years ago, when the powerful clubs pushed for the creation of the Champions League, then for unbalanced dividends that rewarded the already powerful, then killed the Cup Winner's Cup. In the '80/90s the Champion's Cup was won by Red Star Belgrade, Porto, Hamburg, Steaua Bucarest, Aston Villa, Olympique Marseille, Ajax, PSV etc in addendum do the "big ones". Then the big clubs bullied the UEFA and the local leagues into giving them more and more money in proportion, and changing the rules so they'd basically never be excluded. This latest attempt is just another step towards a future where the reality of the small team getting to the top needs to be completely erased in the interest of the big teams.
