Its all shit in the first place that Italy and England are fighting for this spot when teams from Kazakhstan etc get in in the first place

That team from Kazakhstan had to go through 3 qualifying rounds to get there beating the champions of Cyprus, Finland and Slovenia on the way.

Its called the champions league and 25 years ago they would have had an automatic spot considering they are champions of Kazakhstan.

Getting rid of the champions spot for lesser countries would takeaway the core principal of the competition, which is the fact it is a competitions for the champions

Kazakhstan didn't exist 25 years ago.

I would be happy to see the teams go down to three. It may make it even more difficult for us, but anything that breaks up the monopoly is a good thing.

Then the tv money will be split by three making the top 3 even bigger.

They did that long ago when they opened it to more from each country. Half of the group games are a complete waste of time, some aren't even as good as Millwall

They still get the same amount, is that fact or guesswork?

Fact. New tv deal might reduce the amount if bt or sky bid less. But the current deal will stand.

Better to keep four then, the effect is reducing all the time with the way the premier league tv deals are going.
