I think you guys should expect more of this, It is should be well known by now that Platini is with the little fish in the pond. He would support them all the way. If I remember correctly, he had "reducing number of teams qualifying to CL from the big leagues" in his agenda of candidacy to UEFA presidency. Though I hate that Italy lost the bid, but I really can't decide if his decision is good for the game as a whole or not.
Too bad we lost our new stadium. But I'm sure there will be a solution, life hasn't ended yet
PS. to all those conspiracy theorists, I hope you're kidding about Moratti .. He is Italian too FYI. I hate the guy but I don't blame him for every freaking thing goes around in Italy.
