I don't know. I never bothered to pay attention to their organisational structure.
Please, all you have to do is think of the rules they introduced, and the stupid rule that only 4 teams from 1 country can be in the CL, because for example if Liverpool dont make it in the CL, is anyone going to try and argue that teams that will undoubtable be in it like Partizan Belgrade or Basel are better? Champions League should have ALL the best teams, not the best (but some) from each country...

Oh yeah, then Holland wouldn't get any teams in it whatsoever. Thanks a lot, biatch :D
Really? I rate dutch clubs very highly, I've said before I like dutch clubs, I rate Ajax higher then any French or German (bar Bayern) clubs, and perhaps Lyon now.

That's not the point. The point is that Holland could NEVER go beyond Germany or France on the UEFA list of coefficients (the list that decides how many club each country gets to send to the CL and Uefacup). And how could we with 16 million people as opposed to Germany's 80 million?

Thus we would be out, together with all other small countries like Portugal, Belgium etc.

You misunderstand me, I never meant it to sound the way it seems to of come across. What I mean is, really does anyone think that the "not so good" teams that always get through, and end up with 0 points, or something 1 point, are better to have in then teams that will actually pushing the "big teams"???

How the hell would you organise such a system? Don't get me wrong, I too would prefer watching the Spanish #5 over the Belgian champion but...

Can you picture it? Sepp Blatter in front of his computer from 1995, with the tiny evil glasses on the tip of his nose whilst figorously flipping through Internet for Dummies, mumbling to himself:

"HTML... HTML..."

:howler:

Thats the only difficult thing, I am not smart enough to figure out a way of getting a system that is "right" like that to work...

Why're you showing us Roux? If it were Deschamps or Troussier talking, I'd have paid heed, not Roux.

What is wrong with Roux? I rate him one of the best coaches in the Ligue and one of the best coaches that can handle with youngsters and make them shine.
