The confusing changes that will apply to UEFA and the Champions League will only benefit the big clubs

Very soon (since it is most likely in the finals of April), UEFA will confirm the introduction of various changes to the Champions League, both in its format as in relation to access to the competition. Dichas reforms (which will enter into force from 2024), will favorably favor the teams and acadalados in leagues and pupils, as they have done in the majority of the changes that have taken place since the creation of the tournament in 1992.

Dichos cambios will be presented with the intention of hackers intend that UEFA has no more remedy to alleviate the menorah of men. There are concessions to the big clubs, but this represents a better alternative that will separate to form its own Superliga, ignoring the Champions League completely. Ya hemos schschado amenazas similar, pero en esta occasion Parisian creibles, tal como lo comenté in octobre pasade. With the bags of interest circulating around the corner, the private equity firms replenishing money and the big clubs liquidated by the pandemic, they formed a perfect tower in the two distant teams of the Real Madrid, Barcelona team and Manchester United, well formed their own separate competition to split the league between them; o, tal como parece haber sido el caso, fingirían hacer justamente eso, aprovechando su poder par consegir un mejor acuerdo a su favor.

The effects of the pandemic, the need to create (using a fashion term between football executives) “innovative formats” and the record that the club ballot is a bargain used in its conjunction to justify the additional gift card to favor riches and powers. Sondeverbod, dicho argumento no tiene cómo sostenerse. Christian Seifert, executive director of the Bundesliga, expresses himself better than Nadie in recent reports, during his dissertation at the Business of Football Summit event, organizer of the British Times Financial Journal.

“The brutal verdict is that some of the ‘super clubs’ nominees are, of course, machines of the middle-class money management and have no capabilities, during a decade of unbelievable crime, of securing a model of some business. forma sostenible “, afirmó el ejecutivo.

In some ways, there has been a steady decline in the number of incidents of European clubs being duplicated (with the majority of incremental dichotomous fluctuating numbers) and it seems that the standards on Fair Play Finance have helped it manage low-level costs (assurances that the system in its cohort is profitable in the three pandemic-driven campaigns), some of the biggest clubs in world football are concerned about the increased costs and court fees.

And his solution is to make permanent practical changes, which only he will help to break the gap between what he has and what he does not. The following details are being discussed and will be discussed at the latest hourly negotiations; without embargo, it is easy to consult between clubs and leagues, although it seems that the Champions League will include four additional cups, presenting a so-called “Model Suizo” which will increase from 6 to 10 the number of group matches played, given to the liga francesa has an additional automatic form, apart from having a safety net that will allow clubs with a good European line (read: ranking of UEFA club coefficients) to be automatically classified.

It will take time to analyze the new format (specifically the so-called “Swiss model”, which is guaranteed to be heard by many people) once it is confirmed. Without embargo, on a large scale, the radical idea of ​​staging a mayor cantidad of European parties and generate more economic resources, with the intention of helping to mitigate the causes of the pandemic. It is clear that it is not against the fact that the clubs play more matches in Europe, and are therefore included in the Europa Conference League, which will arrange my next.

There are now and then clubs of first division clubs all over Europe that have never been able to discuss at the international level, between those who will play, the deadline in September for all with the exception of 80 clubs. Why not play? Tampoco necessarily has problems in intending to express more money to the Champions League. Its professional clubs. They are conducting a business. Assimismo, of the € 3.25 million ($ 4 million) generated by competition dichas, approximately € 400 million ($ 485 million) earmarked for base football support, national federations and other development initiatives.

Geen hooi en’n duda de que nos encontramos en medio de una epoca dura para los clubs, Especially die oorweging que las medidas de prevención del COVID-19 implican que los stadios deberán permaneros cleros por un tiempo burgemeester al anticipado y la exigencia de reductions in pages that have televisions for transmission rights. Last September, the Association of European Clubs projected that teams would make a financial impact on the order of € 4 million ($ 4.85 million) over the next few hours. In addition, ECA President Andrea Agnelli raised estimated estimates, claiming that the oscillation losses between € 6.5 million ($ 8 million) and € 8.5 million ($ 10.3 million).

Y, as is obvio, the most large clubs, two stages of mayor tamaño (y, for that matter, with major mayors in party fechas) and contracts for television rights he side, in absolute terms, the most affected by dichas lost. Without embarrassment, the most embarrassing is the de facto accommodation on the part of the big clubs, which only wants to have a bigger path of the cake, so that also aspires to an additional security in case of (¡vaya!) Can not classify a the Champions League, in the form of an additional cup. (Enfrentémoslo: if forms part of the media docena of super clubs that play in distant circuits to the Premier League, tendrias that meter the path has the fund to not classify).

Everything before is bad in two aspects. First and foremost, it’s simply antithetical. The friends of the big clubs always justify the hecho de hacer with a mayor portion of the intruders with the hecho of which are assumen un burgemeester “riesgo empresarial”; therefore, invest more resources to make with the biggest figures and patrons, which motivates the aficionados to pay to see their players. This is the reason for the 15% of the generals generated by the Champions League being distributed according to the “market pool”; o see, of agreement with the tamaño of the television league of the national league of a club. If they play in the Premier League, Serie A or the Bundesliga, they receive a lot of money, because they are their big television markets between big economies. If you are a club from Albania or Denmark … can not receive so much.

This is also the reason for the fact that another 20% of the companies are in agreement with the “coefficient ranking”. In small words: if a team has a good season in Europe during the last decade, mayors receive appeals from those who do not act well. The allegation is that the teams with good results in the past have helped to build the Champions League brand; in consequence, merecen cosechar a mayor portion of the benefits (También is, in practice, a form of channeling more money in direction to the elite institutional).

All right. Without embarrassment, the so-called “imperial risk” is the only one: a risk. Arriesgas más tu pellejo en el juego; in consequence, mayors receive benefits when the goods of well. Equally meaning that pierdes more when the things salen mal. Basic lesson in economics of free market. The other aspect is radical in that we have to implement permanent changes in fact that will only make it more difficult for other clubs to participate in the tournament. For supuesto that, in theory, dichos change their lives permanently (the UEFA opera in cycles of three years); but in the real world, all the format changes introduced from the creation of the competition in 1992 were used to benefit the bigger clubs of the bigger nations.

This means that the genius will not be able to return to the bottle once he is healthy. Nadie wants to see a club go bankrupt. But what do you think? This is virtually impossible at the maximum level. If you can reduce the number. They can renegotiate deudas. If you can transfer players. You can set standards to help you meet your obligations. Does it mean that you can do it all and maintain a competitive level? Pues no. The most likely is that, hacerlo, your deportation schedule will be adjudicated. Podrías require a timepiece to take to the site where they are located. But there is life. Asia son of the negotiators. If guests in excess, pay the price.

In the 10 years leading up to the pandemic, the numbers of clubs in all of Europe are being duplicated, spending € 11.7 million ($ 14.2 million) and € 21.1 million ($ 25.6 million) millones). No hablamos de ganancias similar to Bitcoin, pero tampoco son despreciables. Thanks to the regulations of the Fair Play Financiero, the system in its terms was profitable during the last three years.

Entonces, sí, Seifert has some reason. If at this moment they are poor (and intend to change all the system to intend to sell it and additionally, create a permanent mayor for an elite of clubs and dominant), must hope to touch the most violent violin of the world. Most likely, UEFA will have no other remedy than cedar. The alternative (that the clubs plan with their training and retire from the Champions to mount their tournament prop) has been awarded a direct penalty for running their competitions and their ability to redistribute economic resources throughout the system.

Without embarrassment, it is clear that UEFA has been giving up constantly for the last two years. Ya cansa. And I’m not positive about football.
