England's four Champions League places at risk?

[Santi]

Then again Spurs dropped to the Europa League when Chelsea won the Champions League. Not sure the Liverpool example counts when there is a later case with UEFA doing the opposite.

What he said.

I think Liverpool situation might have been first time it had happened in the knew format. They weren't expecting it that it is why they let Everton in, obv they changed it as they factored it might happen again.

This. It says as much on the page Cuki posted...

Take one off the Germans.

Other than Bayern and Dortmund, rest are toilet. And Dortmund aren't even in it this season

Hey City, please win the CL. kthanxbye.

Arsenal, Chelsea, man utd, city, Liverpool all have big followings. Better financially for uefa than firoentina getting one of their spots. The it the point being made uefa/Fifa look after their pockets.

But that has no direct impact on UEFA

It does when less people are watching their biggest competition. Less people watch, less sponsors pay, less TV companies pay for broadcasting.

Do you think none of the 4th spot's fans will watch CL if their team is out?

People don't want to pay for bt sport as it is, which will be worse if there team isn't in it

My team isn't even in the competition and I'm usually watching 3 games at the same time

I dont think people realize how big BT are, I work in IT and Networks and I have a broad knowledge of the internet landscape because of it, all of europe use BT as a carrier for information(web traffic) that goes to the US.

If your in germany and go to an american website your using BT and routing information through England, its the only way you can get there from any european country not just Germany. BT are the biggest Internet Service provider by a mile in Europe, one of the biggest in the world too.

That is not true - actually, it's nowhere near the truth.

The latest map of the internet I seen this is how it was, the only route(cable) outside of europe to America ran through the UK.
BT for a start carry nearly all ISP traffic out of the british isles just to begin with.

Without being smart are you even technically literate? Do you understand IT at any kind of level?
What also makes it interesting is in the UK they have "Data stations" off the coast at least two, they pull all the internet information from the cables and store it so they can search through it.

That is not true.

And your statement that BT is the biggest ISP in Europe and one of the biggest in the world is also not true. And I know that for a fact.
The Deutsche Telekom AG is at least 3 times as big as BT - and I'm not even sure if they are the biggest in all of Europe.
They controll everything from Germany to Greece in terms of telecomunications - and I know that because I worked there

BT for a start carry nearly all ISP traffic out of the british isles just to begin with.

Key word(s) - BRITISH ISLES.
In case you failed at geography - the British Isles don't represent all of Europe.

Without being smart are you even technically literate?

Consdering the bullshit you're spewing, probably more than you.

Do you understand IT at any kind of level?

Considering that is one of my occupations - yes.

We'll keep the 4th spot because as shit as we are in the CL, the Italians won't do any better this season. Roma seems to be doing well for a group stage exit. Juve will most likely make it to the QFs tho.

From England, Chelsea and United will make it to the KO stages. It's difficult for City, but not impossible.

In the EL, Napoli will make it deep. Not sure about Fiorentina. Liverpool and Spurs will provide the lolz so meh.
