What was it called?

But how would average players get the £250k per week they deserve to be paid without these European Super Leagues ?

On this subject, am I right in thinking that if Palace win on Thursday they'll be the first team to win the Europa Conference having qualified via a domestic trophy win?

It's utter woke nonsense, teams that have done jack sh*t all season and finished only 14 points off relegation still get to play in Europe. They'll be letting the Welsh, or women in next.

Steady letting the Welsh in women yes welsh aaaahhh next you be saying part of uk next

I think many supporters, and players, of clubs at our level would soon tire of that approach. Every season the only target would be to avoid relegation

Yeah, perhaps. The play offs were introduced in the lower leagues to prevent loads of dead rubber games at the end of the season and give more teams something to play for. Expanded European qualification does at least serve that purpose in the premier league.

Even so, I would still prefer the old system to return, with the champions in one competition, the runners up in another, and the cup winners in a third. Without repeating my earlier post, the current system just creates a great sprawling dross. Also, it keeps the big clubs in our league far wealthier than everyone else, even when they fail, relatively speaking. If more of them missed out on champions league money every season then there wouldn't be such a closed shop.

Back in the day you had
European cup for league winners only

European cup winners cup for guess who

European fairs cup can't remember who qualified for that.

All were straight knock out comps, same as FA cup and no seeding.
One year Forrest knocked Liverpool ( then holders) in 1st round of European cup. Wouldn't be allowed to happen today too much money involved
