UEFA HAVE `TREATED US WITH CONTEMPT ' - LIVERPOOL FANS
By Paul Walker, PA Sport
Liverpool have been ``treated with contempt'' by UEFA after being forced to
play in the first qualifying round of the Champions League.
That is the view of Les Lawson, spokesman for the Liverpool International
Supporters' Club.
He welcomed the European champions' inclusion in next season's competition,
but criticised European football chiefs.
The club will have to play in the first qualifying stage, with no country
protection. That means if they get to the third qualifier they could be drawn
against Everton.
Lawson said: `UEFA have been caught with egg on their faces over this because the FA put the first four in the Premiership into next season's tournament.`
`It means UEFA have had to sort it out and they have done the minimum
possible. They have treated their own champions with contempt.`
`It is a disgrace, Liverpool are the top team in Europe because they are the
holders and have beaten Europe's best. They are being treated like TNS or other very small clubs .`
`To be told they have to start in the first qualifier is wrong and a real
kick in the teeth.''
