How stupid is that!!!
Also four teams each from England, Spain, Germany & Italy guarantees loads of coefficient points which would make it pretty damn impossible for any other league to catch up.
Corruption!!”

That does change the picture somewhat I agree.
The end of the day, the issue comes down to fending off any prospect of the big clubs breaking away, something I don't think is on the horizon any time soon anyway.
The powers that be don't want a situation like this season happening again. There is a tremendous amount of interest surrounding three of the biggest managers being at three of the biggest clubs in Klopp at Liverpool, Conte at Chelsea and Mourinho at Man Utd yet none of them in the Champions League.
