>>149382181the thing i dont get, see pic related, is like yeah thats a decent amount of money and im talking about this from a uefa (but mostly premier league) perspective, they're tiring out their players in crazy weather who need a break, and delaying the start of their preseason for the next season, for decent money if they win but not an insane amount (and that's assuming they even win)
i think the clubs that missed out on qualifying (liverpool, arsenal for example) are gonna be way better off having a full summer to rest, full preseason etc than idk chelsea or city or whoever potentially winning 40m (which converts to £30m and isnt that much in the current market)
i think the UEFA clubs would be smart to say fuck off we're not participating especially if they try to make this a 2 year thing, but then you risk this big UEFA/FIFA war
